There’s a new website in town www.impactandpoise.com. It’s only a fledgling website,or maybe just an egg,but I’m hopeful it will delivers some new and interesting material in the near future.
It got me thinking…what is “poise”?
Well,to me, poise is:
- composure –free from embarrassment,nervousness etc; and
- good posture;and
- graceful movement; and
- dignity and authenticity;and
- a state of balanced readiness.
So why is poise important?
Poise underpins all the other things you do to make a great impression on the people you meet. It is the foundation from which you create impact,interest and influence,and build rapport,respect and trust. This makes it a powerful ally for success across all walks of life –in selling,dating,presenting (live or on video),in developing your personal brand,and in interviews - to name just a few.
What can I do to improve my poise?
There are no quick fixes,but there are things we can do to improve our poise across each of these areas. I’ll take you through these in tomorrow’s blog.

Poise also comes from comfort and familiarity with the situation you are in.

Whereas posture is the way you stand,the way you walk,poise is your ability to remember and execute those postures. Poise is part of your character.

Certainly poise is not a term you hear very often. I think the current slang is “Swagga.”And people know it when you got it.
I’m looking forward to your tips on how to get more in our lives.

Poise is important when it comes to impressions one might have of another. Sometimes being quick to judge a person doesn’t give you a second chance for a first impression.

Poise is so very important. When a speaker lacks poise,it is hard to pay attention to what they have to say because you are so distracted by the fidgeting.
