There are situations in life when you need to convince someone that you are right. To do this, you need to be able to reasonably present your own point of view and behave confidently.
Instructions
Step 1
Show confidence in yourself. If you have low self-esteem, it will be difficult for you to defend your own position. Think about your victories and the success you have achieved more often. Keep your positive qualities and your strengths in mind. Accept yourself and live in harmony with your own principles. Then you will be confident and will be able to convince the other person that you are right.
Step 2
Find support for your words in the form of facts, logical arguments, statistics, examples from practice. All this information will help you defend your position and make your words more meaningful. Therefore, it is important to seriously study the subject of the conversation before a responsible conversation. You must be competent in the topic under discussion.
Step 3
Pay attention to your attitude. Be kind and friendly. There should be no aggression in your gestures or words. Know how to conduct an argument in a civilized manner. Otherwise, your interlocutors will get the impression of you as a narrow-minded, unrestrained and not too smart person.
Step 4
Speak clearly and in a structured way. Ornate speech in this case can only interfere. It will be difficult for your opponents to understand you. Don't jump from question to question or stray from the main idea. This will only tire the audience and no one will listen to you. At the end of the speech, you can make a summary, mentioning the main points. This will refresh the memory of the audience.
Step 5
If you want to convince other people to do your own thing, think about how they can benefit from your action plan. It is for the benefit that others will receive if they listen to you that you should rely on in your arguments. Let them understand the feasibility of your idea.
Step 6
Monitor your speech. Avoid using parasitic words. They clutter up your story. Speak in a calm, low voice at a medium pace. If you gabble, opponents may miss a lot, if you start stretching the words, you will tire the audience. Pay attention to your own gestures. Let them talk about your confidence. Incomplete, awkward movements can indicate the speaker's weakness.
Step 7
Ability to establish contact is important. Those who listen to you perceive not only the meaning of your words. In making them some kind of decision will play a role and the impression that you make. Keep eye contact and address the audience by name. Be sincere and open.
