Poise is one of those states of being that anyone can master. Merriam-Webster describes being poised as “marked by easy composure of manner or bearing.” In other words, having poise is being comfortable in your own skin. This isn’t always easy, especially when you’re challenged in a professional or social environment. Rude people can provoke a reaction, but the most poised people are prepared.

Merriam-Webster also states that gracious means “being polite in a way that shows respect.” Being courteous, gracious, and humble will make you a much more pleasant person to be around.

When you look at someone who seems poised and gracious, you probably think that she is confident and unafraid to show the person she truly is. One of the most important things a parent can do for a child is to teach her to be polite, self-sufficient, and confident. If parents don’t do this, it’s up to the person to figure out how to become that on her own.
