Imperturbable

Imperturbable

iym-per-terb-bab-bul

composed; cool; sedate;

being calm and assured.

The imperturbable actress carried on after she forgot her lines. No one knew it.

Memory trick:
imperturbable reminds of impervious.
impervious means to not let anything pass through.

At work:
He was imperturbable and continued the presentation after the prototype fell apart.
