Command Their Attention and be Heard

Want to stand out -- be seen and heard? Want one of your winning ideas to be adopted? Here are 3 surefire steps to get recognized for the work you do.

Be Seen
Communicate from a position of power.  The way you dress is important as well as the way you carry yourself. Use gestures of power—no waving hands. Stand tall. Keep your head up high.

Be Heard
Use your words wisely. Speak in short sentences that are thought out and meaningful. Talk in a deep voice, no shrill sounds. Before you walk into the room, do a few voice exercises. You can find simple ones online.

Be There
Don’t put on a persona. Be yourself--that is most attractive. Authenticity is the key to power. People want to get to know the ‘real you.’
