Similar ideas to Speaking With Conviction
Keep yourself informed and speak with conviction. Use words like “I am sure” vs. tentative words like “I think, I hope and I feel.” Use humor, even if it is self-deprecating.
Don’t: Confuse humor with bad joke telling. And don’t overdo on ...
By speaking clearly and maintaining eye contact, we can use words to hypnotize the audience.
Even our pauses in between our words can be used to gather our thoughts and make the listeners reflect on what you have just said.
It means being direct and straightforward in what we say and do, setting effective and healthy boundaries and asking for what we want or need.
When we aren’t able or willing to be assertive we end up living other people’s lives rather than our own.
