Attention is concentration, concentration on an object or concept. By controlling this process, a person gets the opportunity to influence the behavior of people around him. This is not difficult to learn, you just need to know the techniques for managing attention.
Instructions
Step 1
Accentuating attention is useful when you need to draw the attention of a business partner or just the interlocutor to important points in a conversation. There is direct and indirect emphasis. Direct - when direct phrases are used, such as “it is important to notice,” “I ask you to draw your attention,” “it is necessary to note that,” and so on. With indirect emphasis, phrases are constructed so that the places to which you want to draw attention stand out in contrast and automatically attract attention.
Step 2
Receiving eye contact between the speaker and the listener allows you to keep the interlocutor in the conversation and attract his attention. If we are talking about a large audience, you need to look around it and, fixing with your eyes several people alternately, conduct a conversation.
Step 3
There is also a method of imposing a rhythm. A person's attention is constantly running away, and if it is not tuned in time, not translated to the desired topic, the desired conversation may not work. It is in this case that the technique of imposing a rhythm is applied. Change the characteristics of speech and voice - speak faster, slower, quieter, louder, patter, slow. Thanks to this, the interlocutor will be forced to concentrate and is unlikely to miss anything important.
Step 4
Use the "neutral phrase" technique - start the conversation with a phrase that is not directly related to the subject of discussion, but is relevant to the interlocutor. In this case, there is a personal interest.
Step 5
The technique of using pauses allows the initiator of the conversation to concentrate, and the listener to prepare for perception. A pause allows you to grab attention and reinforce the importance of the previous words.
Step 6
Knowing how to manage attention, it is much easier to communicate with children, conduct business conversations, make acquaintances, make deals. Moreover, these methods can be mastered fairly quickly.
