Saima Ikram
Most people would admit that at some level they have a desire to impress others. On the outer side, it can be done by the type of car you drive or the technology you use or the clothes you wear. But this materialistic display of wealth isn’t as effective as engaging a meaningful dialogue with other people. It is because people who are intelligent and smart impress others with their meaningful conversation.
Starting a conversation with people you don’t know much can be daunting. But if you keep the following things in mind, you can make the connection in impressive ways.
1. Get noticed:
People judge you by your dressing and if you are dressed appropriate according to an occasion, you get noticed easily. Your dressing reveals a lot about what you have to offer. If you want to make an impression in a meeting, you can learn the tactics of power dressing. For that, you do not need to upgrade your wardrobe with expensive clothes. You just need to get a proper haircut, make sure your clothes fit your body well, and make everything seem to be in tune.
2. Be natural:
When you will sound natural, it will feel more impressive. Your honesty will shine through your speech and more people will get to notice you. As many people will notice your honesty and simplicity, the more they will be attracted towards your personality and the more you will get the attention.
3. Introduce yourself:
Do not wait for anyone else to steer the conversation, instead, introduce yourself to others. Always keep something noteworthy to say after starting a conversation as it will help you to direct it into a better direction.
4. Brag in a good way:
If you brag about your wealth and status, many people will consider not much impressive to talk to. Therefore, tell others about yourself by explaining how you overcame your past. Tell them how you pushed through the challenges to reach where you are today. This is not bragging but only a technique that will help you to shift the focus towards your accomplishments.
5. Become a story-teller:
Not everyone has the natural talent of story-telling but it can be mastered through practice. Think of the experiences that you want to share, write them down, and practice their delivery on your friends. Show your skills while demonstrating your ideas and experiences and you will notice you will be better every time.
