Use Big Shoulders
I recently cowered at work when my boss asked me to show him my report. I walked in with my shoulders slumped and my head down. Noticing my reaction, I tried to change my attitude, but it was hard. I felt this need to lower myself because it’s easier to play the submissive role in a relationship, letting the other person dictate the relationship.
My reaction should have been confident, using big shoulders, lifting my chest out and keeping my head high while I look at my boss in the eyes. It would have set the mood of the meeting and helped me communicate my ideas with confidence.
