Stop giving mixed messages and communicate for clarity with alicia cuello

Have you ever wondered why you’re the only one in the room smiling? Or why the words coming out of your mouth deserve more than the reaction you receive? Well, it might be because you are subconsciously giving off mixed messages and damaging your credibility in the eyes of others. Yikes. 

In this clip from Inside the Women of Denver we discuss some of the ways in which women can improve clarity in communication by becoming more aware of how we come across. Alicia Cuello, CEO of Underlying Communications, explains how many women are naturally demonstrative communicators and when body language doesn’t match the message we often undermine our own credibility. Think apologizing for a strong opinion or smile when being assertive.

Some tips from Alicia Cuello:

• Walk into a room with presence and with confidence in what you are there to accomplish
• Learn to pay attention to what you are doing with your face and mannerisms
• Smile when appropriate and with intention
• When you sit at the boardroom table, make sure your chair is the same height or higher
