Ok, boys, here I am going to share with you how you can talk to someone and earn massive respect. This will make people take note of you in a big way.
Click here to watch video “How to talk with integrity to people”.
When you (as a boy) talk to someone or when someone talk to you, your reaction and body language will show a great deal about your integrity and what type of person you are.
This will either result in that person having immense respect for you or not.
Your life and path ahead will be MUCH easier in life when those around you have respect for you. Sure respect is much wider than just how you talk to someone but that is where it starts.
How do you talk to someone so that they start respecting you?
Answer: The key lies in making the person feel important and making eye contact the whole time while you are talking to them.
For example, a friend of your mother come over to visit. If you are sitting on the couch playing with your tablet, immediately put down the tablet (taking your headphones off), walk up to the person, put out your hand and great the lady (or man) by looking them in the eye and say (example) “Hello Aunt Ellie”. Then you can return to what you were busy with. The fact that you stopped what you were doing, made the effort to get up and walk over to the person, look him or her in the eye, put out your hand and greeted them is a sign of an amazing character. I promise you, that you have earned respect from that person.
SO key rules of communicating:
- Stop what you’re doing and give the person all your attention.
- Look him/her the whole time in the eyes.
- Greet a person friendly by the hand.
- Make a person feel important to you and you will earn their respect.
In longer conversations the same rules hold. NEVER start typing on your tablet/phone. Give the person your undivided attention. Show him/her the whole time they are important to you.
If you do this, you will stand out from all the other boys (and girls) and people will take note of you!
Wish you boys a GREAT day!
