It’s fall conference season. Put your best foot forward as you speak and network with five tips from Nerd Fitness.

Today I’m going to teach how you to appear more confident.

Why? Because confidence is one of the most important skills in life that you can acquire (other than learning to use the Force, obviously).

Now, I’m not teaching you this stuff just so you can become some sleazy pickup artist.

Here are five steps that you can take to start seeing a difference immediately.
