you're mixing with so with confidence i

1:15

think is about comfort zones and i think

1:17

if you can depict something that you're

1:19

interested in or something you're um

1:21

kind of really into and really really

1:23

want to speak about you'll be able to

1:25

find your confidence with that if you're

1:27

comfortable speaking about it if you

1:28

know what you're talking about um then

1:30

your confidence will come through that

1:32

so you should always try and kind of

deviate the conversation the way of

1:36

something that you are confident about

1:38

2:03

it's about a topic that i'm not

2:05

comfortable with so i think my tips

2:08

quite often is being prepared um so if

2:11

there's something like some whatever

2:13

you're doing perhaps always do that

2:15

preparation if it's doing a run or any

2:18

exercise just doing a bit research

2:21

um talking to friends getting advice

2:23

that type of thing so that preparation i

2:25

think helps build confidence um well
