1. Talk about yourself
"Talking about yourself stimulates the same brain regions as a good meal" - harvard research.
“Activation of this system when discussing the self suggests that self-disclosure … may be inherently pleasurable,” Scientific American reports.
When you talk about your experiences to someone, you become more vulnerable to one another, and when you become more vulnerable to one another, you form social bonds and co invest in one another’s welfare.
2. Always dress responsibly
Your dress would make the first impression even before you speak. A nice dress can exaggerate you beyond reasonable doubt.
"You can have anything you want in life if you dress for it" says Edith Head.
“Appearance is our first filter,” says Sylvia Ann Hewlett, author of the book “Executive Presence.” “And it’s happening all the time.”
It is not about the shape of your body or texture of your hair, it is about you polishing, packaging and grooming yourself.
3. Learn to Make an impressive handshake
Hand shake is a symbol of respect, and science said giving respect gets respect. A strong handshake doesn't mean squeezing somebody’s paw. Where you meet doesn't matter, just make hand shake with a couple of smiles, good grip, and eye contact.
4. Make a bold posture
Your posture could reveal your emotions. It has a huge effect on your level of confidence. Posing with a shoulders open releases hormone to make you feel more confidence.
“If you take an expansive pose, it can actually lead to power,” says Professor Andy Yap.
5. Always be updated with informations.
“Knowledge is power. Information is liberating. Education is the premise of progress, in every society, in every family.” Kofi Annan quotes.
You need to be versatile, read beyond your area of specialization.
If you are into business, then be up to date on changes in business industry so as to make you speak about business intelligently, subscribe to business news letters and read business news daily so you can speak intelligently on business matters.
6. Be a good story teller
Story in any presentation makes my brain actively think and become interested in the presentation.
Story makes conversation more memorable.
Tel a related story, keep it short and concise and you are good to go. According to TED Talks, most successful presentations are made of 25% figures, 65% stories and 10% explanation of your credibility.
7. Guide your tone
“up speak.” Mean the tendency to make your voice rise at the end of sentences so that statements sound
like questions.
If you end your sentence in a tone higher than you began, you will sound as if you are not sure of what you are saying even if you are sure of what you are saying.
Up speak also makes you sound like you are a afraid or you are in a serious stage fear. Up talk can also make you sound less credible.
8. Embrace humility
“Humility is the path towards earning respect, while self-confidence is the path towards commanding it” says H.S.Guts, a venture capitalist.
Humility has to go along with confidence in order to earn respect. Balance the level of humility with the level of confidence you have.
