How to stop messing around and start talking so people will listen to you
◾️Cut your speaking speed in half. Only those who are afraid of being interrupted chat. Slow speech automatically sounds weighty.
◾️Keep breaks without glossing over. When you finish your thought, shut up. There is no need to fill the silence with all kinds of "ah", "good" and "as if".
◾️Look in the eyes, not the floor. A direct and calm gaze holds the interlocutor's attention better than any eloquent nonsense.
