Confidence in meetings isn't about feeling fearless — it's about controlling the signals you send so others perceive you as credible, composed, and authoritative, even when self-doubt is running in the background.

The goal isn't to "win" the interaction; it's to redirect the dynamic so you're heard, respected, and taken seriously.
