Tyra Banks has an unusual trick to avoid feeling intimidated
Hint: It has to do with foreheads.
If you need to fake confidence when speaking with someone important, look at their forehead instead of into their eyes, former supermodel Tyra Banks suggests.
The trick, according to Banks, is a sure way to avoid feeling intimidated while still appearing confident because they can’t tell where you’re actually looking. Banks, who after a successful modeling career has launched a slew of ventures including television shows, an app for taking selfies (now shuttered), and makeup company, shared some of the lessons she has learned over the years on Tuesday at a technology conference hosted by the Wall Street Journal in Laguna Beach, Calif.
In particular, she has learned about the importance of timing when reinventing a career, or “pivoting,” as Banks said, using a Silicon Valley jargon for drastically changing a business’ focus. The key, she said, is to moving into your next job or venture before people realize that your current one is winding down.
