Some people have an innate ability to command the room. They know how to express their opinion in a group without barking orders or dominating the conversation; They are good for talking and listening.
1 Make a precious gift
Whether you are speaking or participating in a group discussion, you decide one thing that really adds value: a viable element with which people can leave. This is especially important when we have to speak to criticize or correct an idea that is running, because when we do not add value, it is no longer a constructive criticism; It's just a dissidence.
-Nathalie Lussier
2 Be a good listener.
Being a good listener is the key. Do not enter for the sole purpose of speaking. As the conversation progresses, listen and respond, incorporating your points in the response. People are more willing to listen if they think they are listening.
-Alex Lorton
3 Choose an appropriate time to speak.
The best way to ensure that your voice is heard in a group is to choose your seats, ie find a space within the conversation to talk, regardless of how many people are involved. By selecting the most appropriate time to speak, you can be sure to get the group's attention and transmit your message without interruption.
-Russell Kommer, eSoftware Associates Inc
4 Be the unifying voice.
Discussions can often crawl and become circular. By intervening and unifying all the best thoughts first, you make people calm. Once they have calmed down, you can enter your point and resonate with the people. The more people are influential, the more important this becomes.
-Raoul Davis, Ascending Group
5 Keep your answers succinct.
Make it simple by answering in a group. This shows that you respect the time of others. A long and long answer to a question is not only reckless, but it loses interest in what you have to say. The quick and quick answers that come directly to the heart of the problem will help you express your opinion and be remembered in the process.
-Nicole Muñoz, start classifying now
6 Do not be the person who needs to comment on everything.
You will be more respected in a group if you have the reputation of starting only when you have something important to say. It is easy to disconnect people who make a comment reflected on almost all situations, but someone who rarely speaks often draws attention when they have something to say.
-Matt Doyle, Excel Builders
7 Cut the hair.
When you speak in a group, you should make the most of the small amount of time you are given to talk. This means that you have to go straight to the point. In a group setting, anyone who is boring will lose the group's attention and slow down the progress of the conversation. Always cut the hair.
-Patrick Barnhill, ID Specialist, Inc.
8 Prepare in advance.
Public speaking is difficult for anyone and most of us do not communicate on the fly as we wish.The difference is remarkable. Think carefully about what you are trying to communicate and how you could say it better and briefly.
-Adam Steele, the magistrate
9 Smile
Be positive If he smiles and nods while others speak, they will be sure that they will open and allow him to speak as well. If they see that you are not listening to them, but they are waiting impatiently for their turn to speak, they will not give you any respect.
Go Vilner, Ranky
10 Validate, then share
It is not enough just to listen. People are more open to your ideas and opinions when they feel honored.
