I think the interpersonal skills are so important that everyone notices when you talk to them. So make sure when you do to leave an impression, you must not forget these points:
- Keep it to the point: Make sure it’s informative, and to the point.
- Maintain eye contact: I think words become ten times more powerful if you maintain eye-contact.
- The right posture: Remember your posture speaks volumes for your personality and how mentally ready you are for the task, even if you have not spoken a single word out loud.
- Don’t be too fast: The speed you speak conveys whether you are relaxed or in a hurry. It even confuses the fluency with which you carry out your conversation.
- Don’t use slangs: Slangs like “wanna” instead of “want to” or “gonna” instead of “going to” should be avoided.
- Use the right tone and pitch: Talk politely. Make sure your voice is not shrill. It causes repulsion to the other person. Even our facial expressions showcase the intent behind us engaging in the conversation.
- Don’t be an excessive chatter.
