I am Priya from Varanasi, and I work from home as a project manager. I want some help to improve my digital body language, especially during video calls. I always try to stay focused and look engaged during meetings, but sometimes I feel like I might be missing out on some important non-verbal cues. How can I improve my online presence during video meetings and discussions with clients?

Ans: Hi Priya!

Wonderful to know that you are project manager and you want to improve your digital presence.

Body language is like learning any other language. It requires proper teaching, learning and then practicing the same to master it.

After the start of the work from home culture, taking care to present yourself well digitally has become very important.

It is important that you take care of your clothes, hair, make up, how much of you is visible, your backdrop, the angle of your camera, the use of your hands, the facial expressions, the voice modulation( so that ppl listen when you speak), you developing listening skills..... there is so much to learn.

I really cannot write here and teach you... this is all about showing you how to create your aura digitally.

Best wishes!!

Question by R - Oct 06, 2020Hindi

Madam/Sir...I am finding it difficult while communicating in front of public gathering and while giving presentations in the meeting. Went through several books and videos but not able to overcome on the issue. Please suggest some simple techniques.

Ans: Dear R, I know this feeling. So many people feel like the crowd is going to swallow them. I have a few simple tricks for you.

1. First, watch videos of a person that you admire for their public speaking skills and one who is confident and sharp in front of an audience. Watch their every move, their rate of speech, their language, their body language.

2. Next, imagine yourself as a character on a stage/podium/meeting room in place of that person and as though you imitate his/her every move.

If you think, there is more that you want to add to feel more confident watching your character, like maybe pumping your fist in the air. Watch your character do that.

3. When you think that your character looks and feels confident, simply take a step forward and take on the character and face an imaginary crowd.

4. Now simply feel the elation as you have simply taken on the same role as the person that you admire and hence you feel the same air of confidence.

The key is to practice this many times over, till your mind supports you on this. Try this, it’s fun and it does work. Have a great confident self, be happy
