Self-possessed, composed (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

poised

(Other definitions for poised that I've seen before include "Self-possessed or balanced" , "Balanced or braced" , "Ready for action or self-assured" , "Balanced and composed" , "Having dignified self-assured manner" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
