Have you ever felt disrespected by a colleague, friend, or even a stranger? It seems their image of view has to do with how you carry yourself. A former secret agent reveals three tips to get someone to respect you in any situation.
Being disrespected by anyone can stir up different emotions, and not knowing how to manage it can hurt your self-esteem and confidence. So, you might as well stop the unacceptable before it unfolds.
Former secret agent on how to get someone to respect you
Former Secret Agent, author, and crime journalist Evy Poumpouras was on an episode of The Diary of A CEO when she told the host why some don’t get the respect they deserve.
Irrespective of who it is, being mindful of these three things during your conversation will make them value you more.
Tone
The tone in which you speak matters as it forms the basis for any conversation. Your input will be overlooked if you don’t maintain the right tone.
Evy says you must sound assertive and confident in your speech to get someone to notice you. People who come across as underconfident are often ignored and thought of as someone who doesn’t deserve to be treated respectfully.
Volume
You don’t have to scream at the top of your lungs, but talking under your breath doesn’t work in your favor either. You can make someone respect you by simply making your voice loud and clear.
The former Secret agent says people who make their voices heard are often respected more than those who go unnoticed owing to their soft voice.
Don’t talk to talk
People want to listen to you when you can to bring something to the table. Evy strongly advises against talking in any situation only to make your presence felt.
She says you should only speak when there’s something substantial about the topic being discussed. If not, remain silent and speak up when you come up with valuable inputs to contribute.
When people notice your words matter, they are prompted to pay attention to your speech and naturally respect you more.
Evy is a multi-media journalist, often seen on renowned television shows and news channels. She talks about a variety of topics, including national security, law enforcement, and crime.
According to her official website, Evy “worked complex criminal investigations, operated undercover, and was an interrogator for the agencys elite polygraph unit specially trained in the art of lie detection, human behavior, and cognitive influence.”
