Things are picking up. Though, there is something that has crossed my mind recently. "How to speak with confidence". Something that has always been a challenge for me due to my upbringing. There are days in which I am able to strike up conversations with random tourists out of the blue for instance; whereas some other days, I cannot even muster the courage to approach them. In the following post, am I going to try to tackle this issue in the best way possible.

 

Has it always been crucial to be polite so as to star a conversation an be appealing to the person we want to speak to. Still and all, there is more to it that just that. Of course you can tell if someone is dismissive of talking to you. Albeit, what can trigger the aforesaid statement is the way we behave. If we approach someone we want to start a conversation with in a timorous and abject way, of course we will be rejected.

 

Another aspect is being able to speak with clarity and avoid mumbling or using filler words. Doing the aforesaid makes you come across as an insecure person. Be that as it may, what we are looking for is being able to exude confidence. Not to the point of seeming snooty, but confident enough.

Being able to enunciate and taking the time to elucidate what you are about to say are key aspects for effective communication.

 

Lastly, I would say that having the right attitude can also impel us to have an effective conversation.

It is not a matter of rushing or trying to talk to every single person that crosses our path. Conversely, it is a matter of being able to take the time to pick the right person at the right time. It could be at a party, a park, or even a supermarket. Hence, the reason why you should be able to emanate confidence even in our most simple every day interactions. Ergo, by no means can we let our shyness throw a monkey wrench in our attempts to meet new people.
