Happy High Status: How to Be Effortlessly Confident

Product Information

I discovered Viv Groskop’s podcast ‘How to own the room’ during lockdown and have since listened to every single episode. When you express your feelings through kind words, a smiling look of adoration, or an honest compliment, it can go a long way in strengthening your bond. The kind of confidence that comes not from anything particular that you say or do but from how you hold yourself, your ‘status’.

The idea came from bathtime with her babies: one of her daughters has eczema and she couldn’t find any products that fixed it so she made her own. In 2002, World of Books Group was founded on an ethos to do good, protect the planet and support charities by enabling more goods to be reused.

If I cannot be with you, I can only hope whoever is lucky enough to be with you realizes your worth as a human being. At its heart is the idea that ‘we are all always giving off signals and “tells” to others that signify – consciously or unconsciously – how we expect them to treat us.

You go above and beyond trying to understand other people’s points of view even if they do not necessarily align with your own. Instead, Viv brilliantly shares how confidence looks and feels different on us all, by way of presenting a variety of traits that a selection of personalities display. But in this inspirational guide, Viv Groskop explains that we can access it almost any time to give ourselves strength and energy.Her previous books include How to Own the Room: Women and the Art of Brilliant Speaking and Lift As You Climb: Women, Ambition and How to Change the Story.

Paying a compliment is a great way to show your affection and can increase the personal-well being of the women at the receiving end. To put this in perspective, these both came on days when I had looked at myself in the mirror in the morning and took note of the acne breakout that I had on my face or how messy and imperfect my hair was.

It is a sense of self-assurance that allows individuals to face challenges, take risks, and tackle difficult situations without being overly affected by self-doubt or fear of failure. Gold medalist Neha Mehta is an RCI-registered psychologist, certified relationship and child psychologist, and a well-known parenting coach practicing in Haryana.I find this freeing: if even the best of us feel this way, then why are we letting this fear bother us? So, if you are genuinely in awe of any of her traits, don’t hold back yourself and pay her well-deserved compliment.

As a performance coach, she works with women and senior teams in business and media, helping them to redefine leadership and authority – and generally worry less about how they come across so they can actually just do their work.It is about trusting one’s instincts and decisions, being comfortable in one’s own skin, and maintaining a steady and composed demeanor even in challenging situations. We give people around the world the opportunity to contribute to the circular economy, earn money and protect the planet, by trading their unwanted books and media. Prioritise hope and the elements of your life that you can control and influence — and definitely prioritise your sense of humour and of proportion. I’ve also read her book ‘How to own the room’ where she introduced the ‘Happy High Status’ concept in a very memorable and intriguing chapter.
