00:00:04

She felt shy and awkward,

00:00:06

which often prevented her from speaking up and taking initiative at work.

00:00:10

Her managers and colleagues encouraged her to express herself and assert herself,

00:00:14

but it was stronger than her.

00:00:16

She thought she was born that way.

00:00:18

Then one day her manager,

00:00:20

Sean,

00:00:21

told her he was considering her for a promotion,

00:00:23

but he was doubtful because of her lack of confidence.

00:00:27

Sean gave her 3 months to transform from a caterpillar into a butterfly,

00:00:31

he said.

00:00:33

At first Sarah was angry,

00:00:35

angry at her manager,

00:00:36

at the injustice of the situation,

00:00:38

at the lack of confidence she had inherited,

00:00:40

and which even therapy had not been able to alleviate.

00:00:44

She gave herself one last chance by focusing on her body

00:00:48

to instill confidence in her body.

00:00:51

Sarah began by working on her posture.

00:00:54

She tended to slouch with her shoulders drooping,

00:00:56

which reinforced her image of lacking self-confidence.

00:00:59

She started taking yoga classes to improve her posture and flexibility.

00:01:04

She quickly gained strength and physical confidence.

00:01:07

Her gait became more assured.

00:01:09

Her head was held high,

00:01:10

and her gaze became prouder.

00:01:13

Simultaneously,

00:01:14

Sarah enrolled in dance classes.

00:01:17

She'd always dreamed of dancing,

00:01:18

but her shyness had always held her back.

00:01:21

The first lessons were extremely difficult.

00:01:24

She felt literally like a caterpillar among butterflies,

00:01:27

but she persevered

00:01:29

as she became more comfortable with her body.

00:01:31

Her self-confidence also grew.

00:01:34

She felt increasingly confident in her movements and

00:01:36

her ability to express herself through dance.

00:01:40

Over time these physical changes had a profound impact on Sarah's life.

00:01:45

She began to take more initiative at work,

00:01:47

to speak in public with ease,

00:01:49

and to expand her social circle.

00:01:51

People around her noticed her transformation

00:01:54

and complimented her on her confidence.

00:01:57

She had learned that the way she stood and moved could

00:02:00

directly impact how she perceived herself and how others perceived her.

00:02:04

Her manager noticed her transformation,

00:02:06

complimented her,

00:02:07

and her career took off.
