Poise has a couple of related meanings that overlap each other.

"She had such poise under the pressure of the interview." She was calm, graceful, and answered well. She conducted or "handled herself" well.

It is also standing - or sitting - with grace and confidence, such as some politicians or models. This is not about what they are saying, but about how they appear.

It has another meaning of "about to happen" or "ready to." "The goalie was poised to block the football when a teammate blocked the shot." "The dancers are poised to leap onto the stage from behind the curtains."

Let me know if this is clear.

My condolences on the mining explosion in your country. God bless you all, and especially the miners and their families.
