How To Reduce Your Credibility Robbers

The first and most crucial step towards being more impactful in your communication is to become aware of your credibility robbers.

The fastest way to find out if credibility robbers are causing you trouble is to use recordings of yourself in meetings. 

To get the most amount of observational feedback from your video recordings, watch them several times. Especially observe the first seven seconds, both with and without sound. 

1. Observe: 

  • BODY - Proud, balanced and still.
  • HEAD - Eye contact (one thought > one person). Face (smiles & eyebrows up).
  • FEET - Both planted and pointing to the audience. 
  • HANDS - Home base (stay in truth and trust ). Steeple when resting. Gestures (Palm flash/ palms down). 

2. Once you have observed yourself, pick something to "dial-up" in each interaction over the next week. 

3. At the end of the week, choose an internal (safe) meeting and ask a colleague to video you for 90 seconds using your mobile device. This can be done discreetly. 

4. Watch the video and score yourself 1-5 for the non-verbal you are improving.  

5. Rinse and repeat.
