7 Secrets for Conveying Confidence as a Project Manager

▤ Summary

This means conveying confidence is an essential trait for a project manager because a large part of our work is in winning over team members, stakeholders, and clients to our point of view. Not only are the best PMs rarely brash nor arrogant, but we frequently find ourselves in challenging situations where confidence can be hard to summon up. The main ‘tells’ (giveaways) of nervousness are playing with your collar, tie, necklace, or your sleeves, watch, bracelet, or cuffs. One way that helps you avoid verbal tells, and increases the confidence signaling, is to structure your conversational responses. Even if some tasks fall behind, you can easily drag and drop the timelines to adjust due dates and reassign workload.
