Ease

As with credibility, ease also has several foundational elements. These include making sure you are eating and sleeping well, having social support, and are making time for movement in your day. These things will help build your capacity for resilience under stress.

Other ways to convey ease include connecting with those you work with, avoiding emotional outbursts, listening well, maintaining eye contact, as well as authenticity, which signals “a sense of self-assurance.”
