"Poised Positioning Be mindful of how you use your body to communicate. Be fully present in the moment. Be thoughtful and gracious in your actions. Be fluid and elegant in your movements. Express flow-walk in freedom and spontaneity. Develop an unshakeable sense of authentic inner confidence and certainty. Develop a deep respect for others. Move slower and more deliberately. Walk in integrity, class, and modesty. Smile kindly and laugh softly. Become a student of manners and etiquette."
