I thought I could fake it until I made it. But I needed to actually feel confident and positive to communicate that way.Ms. Gielan, the positive-psychology researcher, had some ideas.

I was also to send a quick note to someone in my support network—friends, family, people I admired—to thank them.

I also popped a mirror on my desk to ensure I was smiling during work calls, a technique that some sales and call-center workers use while working the phones.
