Body language speaks louder than words. Whether you’re walking into a job interview, delivering a presentation, or meeting someone for the first time, your non-verbal cues—posture, gestures, eye contact, and facial expressions—shape how others perceive you within seconds. A confident stance can project authority and competence, while crossed arms or lack of eye contact might unintentionally signal defensiveness or disinterest. Mastering your body language isn’t just about looking confident—it’s about aligning your message with your presence to build trust, enhance clarity, and leave a lasting impression.
