How do you portray yourself

[Goldman snacks]

I deal with investors pitching ideas to them, it's vital they see me as someone of knowledge, credibility and basically all other characteristics that convey I am the right person to trust with their money. (The pitch matters also however let's pretend for this thread that its irrelevant).

I think it's interesting how people convey themselves, some people are naturally confident, others like me have to learn and adjust. Also when someone is very wealthy I get more nervous.

I want to know how you like other people to see you in this situation and what methods you use. Some people build a reputation around being aggressive, they raise their voice and challenge you, some people are known to stick to the numbers and are known for not budging on a number, others get known for the wrong reasons like being a pushover.

As I'm quite introverted I like to form the facts, plan and prepare my presentation and potential negatives that may arise, and then present it. I have sometimes been told in the past and have been told I need more fire and ballsyness and now Its like I hear voices all the time to be more fiery, I don't want it to be an issue in this new field aswell. But As soon as I vision myself being 'ballsy' I see people disliking me and how it could be a turn off to people.

I've read books such as how to win friends and influence people and a lot of others, but I've never seen a book on how to look like someone that doesn't take any s***, I'm carefree by nature I don't really get angry normally unless someone tries to confront me.

So this past and proceeding week I am studying and practicing the best way to present myself as someone of knowledge, superiority and someone that isn't someone you mess around with, to create my personal brand, if you have any pointers or book suggestions I will be more than appreciative, and let us know how you like people to see you, and what advantages it gives you in your business.
