Simple body language signals while walking, like posture, arm position, and facial expressions, can create a visual image of a person’s personality and confidence before even speaking. So, when figuring out how to walk with confidence, there are a few things you need to know.
Before we start talking about how to walk with confidence, we have to talk about what confidence is and some signs that show if a person is genuinely confident in themselves.
Confidence is having a strong belief or assurance in oneself. You also have certainty about your abilities and correctness. Plus, you are self-confident and bold.
– Aren’t afraid to be wrong.
– Don’t want for an opportunity to be handed to you.
– You’re ok with feeling silly.
– Don’t seek the spotlight
– You ask for help when you need it.
Just like firm handshakes, the way you walk can tell a lot about your personality. There are five different “walking styles,” giving away certain personality traits.
Fast Walker
If your walking style is fast, this reveals you are a diligent and outgoing person, open to new experiences, and extroverted. Fast walkers are confident and often go-getters and risk-takers—people with a quick walking style like living a casual life and are super attentive to detail.
