Welcome to the one day at a time podcast where we forget about yesterday. We don't worry about tomorrow. It's what are we going to do today? This all matters because you've only ever had or will ever have the fantastic twenty four hours a day you're about to embark on. Hopefully this episode is going to give you some daily dose of wisdom that you can take action on today to improve your life.
Speaker 1:Remember, all it takes is one day at a time. Good morning everyone. I hope you're having a good start to the morning. If you're on your phone, get off and listen up because last night's book club was one of favorite so far. I think it resonated with most people because it was written by a woman that come from like adversity and stuff right, so obviously as a white man I can't really you know understand where like I've never experienced these points of views coming through and like in such vibrance like the author does because she does speak, actually the book is read like written as she speaks and she swears herself is great.
Speaker 1:So the main things for me coming from the book club last night like a lot of people came up and spoke about in work dynamics where it's male heavy, male dominated, they got to like fake it till they make it, getting comments about like not being qualified enough or whatever. You usually really don't be in being either too young or being a woman basically. And it all comes down to confidence at the end of the day. And I guarantee you that there's a lot of men out there that if they were to get a bite back by someone with confidence or like someone would stand up to them, they'd back down straight away. A lot of men, the men that typically thrive on weak people like showing some weakness are the weakest people out of all of them because as soon as you come back at them and bite they just shut right up.
Speaker 1:That's from the experience of guys I know. So really reading the book you have to figure out ways of like, your job it's hard to fake it till you make it if you're in a high of like high stakes job. But just body language like Melania is talking about body language is vitally important. Think 60 or 70% of our communication is actually through our body language. So actually understanding what do you look like body language wise?
Speaker 1:How are you talking to people body language wise when you're in work, when you're out and about? Are you like hunched over while you're looking like vulnerable? Are you like Melania says like chest out confident? Are you like looking up or you're looking down? Are your hands, are your palms facing people to show like, I scared them coming as a friendly face versus like inward arms crossed.
Speaker 1:Like really do some self analysis on your body language because that will help you realise subconsciously how you're speaking to people because that's where most of the chat comes through. No matter what you say, if you're looking really scared and you've got like, you're looking down to the floor and you're looking kind of like what weak maybe, whatever you say won't come out as being confident even if it's the perfect words. And that's the sad reality is. And I think this is where men have got the upper hand in that regard because a lot of men have got a lot of confidence with no backing, like absolutely no backing to the confidence, they just do it. And you see this all the time, like in school, you see it with men who are like, you know, even seeing men in the dating scene and stuff like you speak to some like the friends I got girlfriends and stuff I got, like my sister's friends and stuff, they'll say like, you know, they go for the men that are confident, even though behind the scenes, there's nothing to back up their confidence maybe or like whatever, they're not the best match.
Speaker 1:Whoever gives the most confidence in scenarios typically gets the upper hand, isn't it? So have an analysis, have a look at your body confidence and have a look, read more into it to be honest. There is a TED talk on it I think about body language, but actually task today really, ask somebody who's close to you what kind of body language you give off and someone's opinion is going to be truthful. So it might not be the answer you want to hear, but ask somebody today, that's your OBT, one big thing to send messages out to people and ask what does my body language say to you most of the time? And comment below when you get the answers if you want to.
Speaker 1:But I'm going to share some of the oriki's that people shared, which is like the Game of Thrones style pickups basically, our introduction.
