Confidence isn\u2019t in our DNA\u2014it\u2019s something we learn. Talk about a great piece of advice from Tracy Hooper, founder of The Confidence Project, who\u2019s here on today\u2019s episode to teach us all about exuding more assuredness. Tracy\u2019s background is interesting to say the least, with experience in TV reporting, voice-over work and hotel management. All the skills she learned from these jobs were critical to The Confidence Project, she says.\xa0

Today she\u2019s offering us some of her best tips for being more confident and, in turn, positively affecting our professional and personal lives. This is especially important for women, as there seems to be a considerable gender gap when it comes to confidence. Even things as seemingly small as improving our posture and body language can have a big effect on our confidence and ultimately on our workplace success. As Tracy says, there\u2019s a reason Amy Cuddy\u2019s TED Talk about power poses is the second most-watched TED talk segment of all time, with 20 million viewers.\xa0
