Here are a few simple ways to be taken seriously.\n\nFirst of all, let people talk about themselves. According to Harvard research, when someone talks about themselves it stimulates the same brain regions as a good meal. And the <em>Scientific American<\/em> reports that activation of this system when discussing one\u2019s self may be inherently pleasurable. When people share their experiences with others they become vulnerable and will form a social bond, leaving them more likely to invest in your welfare.\n\nAppearance is also a major way to get people to take you seriously. According to Princeton researchers it takes 100 milliseconds to register a first impression. That\u2019s not a lot of time so you better make sure you nail it from the start. Sylvia Ann Hewlett, author of the <em>Executive Presence<\/em>, says it boils down to polish, grooming and being put together. It\u2019s not about whether you have a few extra pounds or what designer you\u2019re wearing.\n\nWhen you greet someone for the first time (aside from being well-groomed) be sure to have a strong handshake. Make eye contact, smile, square your shoulders, have a good grip, elbow erring toward a right angle and do not pump the hand (unless the other person does). A good handshake is crucial because it shows that you\u2019re paying respect to that person and in turn they will give you respect.\n\nAlso, make sure to have good posture. It will have a huge effect on self-confidence and how other people perceive you. Try doing the standard power pose; keep your shoulders open and arms wide. This will tell your hormone system to release the chemicals needed to make you look and feel more confident. MIT professor Andy Yap says, \u201cIf you take an expansive pose it can actually lead to power.\u201d\n\nAnother important thing is to be informed on current events, not just what\u2019s relevant to your industry. Roberta Matuson, author of <em>Suddenly in Charge<\/em>, says you need to be up to speed on changes in your industry so you can talk about them intelligently. But, you also need a broad range of knowledge from science to pop culture. And remember to always be prepared; ignorance is one of the least respectable traits.\n\nWhen giving a speech or presentation numbers are not always enough to impress people. For instance the majority of speeches from \u201cTED talks\u201d are 65% stories and only 25% figures. Stories will humanize you and help the audience to connect. Make sure to watch your tone as well. \u201cUpspeak\u201d \u2013 when you say a statement with the intonation of a question, will make you sound unsure of yourself. In a recent study of 700 professionals 57% said they think upspeak makes people less credible, even if what they\u2019re saying is completely true.\n\nAnd lastly, stay confident and humble. Anthony K. Tijan, coauthor of <em>Heart, Smarts, Guts, and Luck: What it Takes to Be an Entrepreneur and Build a Great Business<\/em>, says you need enough self-confidence to command the respect of others, but you also need to realize there is much that you don\u2019t know. The more you understand how little you know the more eager you will be to learn.\n\nTry some of these steps and soon you will be able to command the respect of everyone.\n\nSource: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.businessinsider.com\/how-to-get-people-to-take-you-seriously-2014-12\">Business Insider<\/a>]]>\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\t\t\t\t<![CDATA[]]>\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.5 -
