There are many situations in life when you need to give the impression of a serious and intelligent person. This especially applies to getting a good job or career advancement. A business person must look serious: this is reflected both in behavior and in clothes.
Instructions
Step 1
Pay attention to your speech. If you are having difficulty finding the exact words, just speak confidently. This works because the impression of a serious person is primarily created by the manner of communication and gesticulation, and only then by the content of speech. But this does not mean that you can carry any nonsense, just to be confident.
Step 2
Learn aphorisms and use them regularly in your speech (for example, the aphorisms of Jean de La Fontaine). Expand your vocabulary, change words to rarely used synonyms - your speech will be more interesting and rich.
Step 3
Speak quickly - this way you show yourself both smart and serious. This is due to the fact that smart people have many different thoughts that they strive to express as quickly as possible so as not to forget.
Step 4
Ask more questions to your interlocutor if you don't know what to say. Questions should be suggestive, so that the person can tell something. So you will certainly find interesting topics for conversation.
Step 5
Exhale as you breathe out to add confidence to your voice. During inhalation, the voice seems somewhat trembling: the interlocutor has the impression that you are worried, and, accordingly, are not sure what you are talking about. Do not gossip, do not discuss colleagues and friends behind your back.
Step 6
To create the image of a serious person, clothing is equally important. She should always be clean, well-groomed and tidy. Girls wearing skirts above the knee look not only frivolous, but also indecent.
Step 7
Pay attention to your shoes. It should always look like new. The hairstyle should be neat. Dreadlocks, Afro-braids are not allowed. Better a ponytail or a good haircut. Watch your hands and nails. They must certainly be well-groomed.
Step 8
Participate in other people's lives. If someone needs help solving a problem, give it. Advise the person how to act in a given situation, think together about a solution to the problem.
