Give me 12 Minutes and I will make you Dangerously Confident🔥 | 5 Proven Steps | Prashant Kirad

Key wellness & performance strategies (confidence building)

• Reframe confidence as a skill (not something inherited)
  • Use science/psychology to “build” confidence through repeatable steps.

Break the “maze” of underconfidence using 3 phases

Phase 1: Build internal confidence

• Micro-wins (self-efficacy training)

  • Practice the performance in steps:
    • Rehearse the speech to yourself in front of a mirror
    • Deliver it to 4 people
    • Deliver it to 10 people
  • Goal: convince your mind that you can perform, so anxiety decreases.

• “Faith hack” breathing to calm fight-or-flight

  • Before stage/new tasks, reduce the stress-response by breathing:
    • Inhale through the nose for 5–7 seconds
    • Take a slight additional inhale
    • Slowly exhale through the mouth
  • Do 2–3 rounds to normalize heart rate/breathing and feel calmer.

Phase 2: Look confident outwardly

• Eye contact via the Triangle Method

  • Instead of direct staring at eyes, focus on a part of the person’s head so it reads as eye contact.

• Posture

  • Keep your back straight while standing/speaking.
  • The “correct posture vs crooked/bent posture” effect is presented as influencing how confident others perceive you.

Phase 3: Sound confident

• Clarity matters (slow down slightly)

  • Speak with “processing fluency”:
    • Keep your words clear and understandable (example: Steve Jobs-style slower speech).

• Use pauses

  • Say it with structure and breaks:
    • “I can do it and I will do it” (with pauses)
  • Pauses are positioned as a way to project poise and confidence.

Productivity/performance takeaway

• Use a repeatable rehearsal + calming routine + delivery techniques to become more confident within 7 days (as claimed in the video).
