Speak from deeper within.
Projecting your voice is a very easy way to add Power to your appearance and to
obtain respect from others.
Most of us speak from our throat.
Instead talk from the pits of your stomach to be able to boost your voice and
throw it across the room. When you are talking notice where the tension is in
your body: Is it in the bottom of your throat or the middle of your chest?
When you talk your entire chest
should be vibrating, not just your throat. This is a sign that you are drawing
the voice from deeper within. Doing so may seem like a small, insignificant
difference, but the more dominant voice you will project will speak for itself.
Develop unwavering confidence.
Confidence in oneself is one of the strongest factors in developing massive
Presence. Think about it: How come Leaders are listened to and respected? The
reason is because they behave like they know what they are doing, even if that
might not be the case.
Having the confidence to be
yourself and to go out into the world showing that to everyone will demand the
respect of others. The basis of this comes from one simple thought: Everyone
wants to be free and be happy.
That is one of the most basic
human desires that are represented in all of us. Confident people have this
freedom because they are not bound by their own fear! When you show that you
are not limited by fear, people will see that, want to adopt it, and respect
you for being able to do it.
Think about the last time someone
was able to do something you weren’t, or someone showed you how confident they
were; what did you think of them? Have you ever had a friend that could talk to
anyone? Or know a person that would walk up to the most attractive person in
the room like it was no big deal? If you did, it was only natural that you
respected these people for it.
Develop some of this unwavering
confidence and you will be respected wherever you show it!
Physical contact. Another hack is
to use more physical contact with other people. Take them in your arm, touch
their arm or hand, or high five them or shake their hand. Whatever you can do
to get some physical contact with the other person.
This builds a connection between
you and the other person, it will make you seem more sympathetic to others and
you will even begin to feel closer to the people around you.
If you look at very charismatic,
confident leaders, when they shake someone else’s hand they will often use both
hands instead of one. They will also pat each other on the back or touch the
others arm when laughing or talking to them. All of this physical contact shows
dominance as well as a connection, which both lead others to repsect you more than
they are right now.
Dress and act to impress. How
would you dress to impress others? Most people would take the option of wearing
suits, shirts or other fancy clothes, but given the situation and where you are
going you may want to wear something different.
The question you should ask
yourself before you go out is: How can I impress the people I will meet?
If you can dress and act to
impress them you will be regarded higher than anyone around you. Always dress a
little bit more sophisticated than you think you need to and always act a bit
more confident than you think you should. This gets you in the habit of getting
very slightly cocky, which is just enough to push your confidence to where it
needs to be.
Do what you said you would.
Develop MASSIVE Integrity and trust with everyone around you. The most
trustworthy people are the ones that we think of the best. Not only that, but
people who stay integrated and do what they say they will do hold much more
power and presence.
If you do what you said you
would, people will begin to trust you. But that is not why it is so important!
The reason you need to do what you said you would is so that you begin trusting
yourself again.
In doing so you develop an
immensly powerful Belief: The Belief that you can do whatever you set your mind
to. Just by reading this you can already see how powerful it is.
