Problem: Article: Begin overcoming your nerves by planning out what you will say in advance. You might be anxious about an upcoming meeting with your boss about a project you are working on. Use your time at work wisely and ensure that you have met your deadlines, haven't missed any details, or overlooked mistakes. Anticipate what questions your boss might ask and be prepared to answer them. You might even ask a coworker to look over your work so they can catch things you've missed. When you are nervous, you might find yourself looking down at the floor to avoid eye contact. But a confident person looks someone in the eye when they are speaking with them. Maintain your glance, but do not stare blankly. Nod your head, laugh and smile when appropriate. Your nervousness might also cause you to speak very fast or to stutter. Take a moment to slow down the pace. Think carefully on what you would like to say and then articulate that. Remember that you are in no rush to speak and that people will understand you better if you speak at a steady pace. You might practice doing this by reading aloud to yourself or to others. In addition to speaking slowly, also mindful of the tone of your voice. Avoid speaking at a much higher pitch, or too quietly or loudly. Instead, use a voice that feels natural to you and noise appropriate for the setting. For instance, if you are at a tea party, you will want to keep your voice down. But, if you are at a concert, you will need to be much louder. Even if you don't feel confident, fake it until you make it. It has been proven that smiling, even when fake, is a mood booster. Before speaking, flash a quick smile at the person and then proceed. Avoid slouching, dragging your feet, and looking down at the floor. Instead, use your body to take up space and exude confidence. Sit straight up, either with your legs uncrossed or with your ankle resting upon your knee. When standing, stand straight with your feet slightly apart. Avoid crossing your arms. Give a nice, firm handshake when greeting someone in a professional setting. Perhaps you noticed that your voice has started shaking or that you made an awkward comment. Ask them a question that will take them a while to respond to and use this time to calm down. You can also excuse yourself to the restroom and splash some water on your face. You can ask them something like "So, I heard about your research with Dr. Johnson. Can you tell me a bit about it?" You can also say "Excuse me for a moment; I need to go to the restroom." If someone is becoming hostile with you, know that it is okay to walk away. You don't deserve to be yelled at or spoken harshly to. Say "I will talk to you later when you are calmer" and walk away.
Summary: Prepare to talk. Maintain eye contact. Speak slowly. Mind your tone. Smile. Maintain good posture. Recover from mistakes. Step away when necessary.

Letting other people take charge can gradually teach you to relinquish control over time. Start small. Let a co-worker pick a restaurant you're ordering lunch from. Gradually build up to bigger tasks. For example, let a co-worker decide the agenda for a meeting at work. Play to people's strengths. If you feel the people you're putting in charge are skilled, you'll feel more comfortable letting go of control. For example, put a co-worker who's great a math in charge of budgeting for a project. Controlling people are often set off by certain situations. A great way to curb your controlling tendencies is to recognize your trigger. Figure out when you're likely to feel the need for control and avoid those situations. For example, maybe you don't do well in big group settings. You get nervous and try to micromanage what you do and where you go. Try to hang out with friends in small groups of one or two people to reduce your controlling tendencies. If you're not getting through to people, you may feel an extra urge to control. Learn to adjust your communication style between individual people. If you're able to express yourself more easily, anxiety won't bring out control freak tendencies. Pay attention to how people respond to different types of communication. If a co-worker seems upset after you give them blunt feedback, maybe they don't respond to a "tough love" approach. Adjust your communication style next time to see if you can get through to them better. Add compliments between the criticisms and encourage your co-worker to come to you and ask for help if they're ever confused. If you're reaching out to people you trust, you'll be less likely to micromanage. If an overwhelming situation is bringing out your control freak tendencies, ask your most trusted co-workers, friends, and family members for help. This way, you'll be able to step back and relinquish control more easily. Let a few trusted friends and co-workers know you're actively trying to be less controlling. Tell them you would appreciate it if they would tell you up front if you're micromanaging a situation. This way, you can learn to recognize and then adjust your behavior as needed. It's a good idea to suggest a humorous code word to use when you're being controlling. For example, they could say "bugaboo" when they feel you're behavior is too controlling. This will help you all keep the situation light.
