Award-winning writer, stand-up comedian and TV and radio presenter
Viv Groskop visits Google to discuss her book “Happy High Status:
How to Be Effortlessly Confident.”
Everyone wants to be able to face challenging situations without
feeling daunted, intimidated or stressed. But no-one wants to be
labeled over-confident, arrogant or smarmy, or to get caught up in
their own hype. So how can you feel authentically confident -
without the cringe, and without pretending to be something you're
not?
“Happy high status” is a new way of thinking about confidence and
how you relate to yourself. It's how actors and comedians enhance
their presence on stage and screen. It lends strength and energy to
your interactions, big and small, and is a way of projecting
status, minimizing self-doubt and moving effortlessly through
life.
Drawing on research, practical tips and lessons from the worlds of
comedy, film, television, politics and sport, Viv Groskop offers a
masterclass in how you can access this new form of confidence at
any time. All, crucially, with no risk of anyone thinking that you
are your own biggest fan.
