Much of the commu
4、nication is unspoken. Consciously or unconsciously, we show our true feelings with our eyes, faces, bodies and attitudes. At the same time, we cause in each other a chain of emotional reactions, ranging from comfort to fear. Think about some of your most memorable meetings: an introduction to your f
5、uture spouse, a job interview, or an en counter with a stranger. Focus on the first seven seconds. What did you feel and think? How did you “read“ the other person, and how do you think he read you? You are the message. For 25 years Ive worked with thousands of business and political leaders, show b
6、usiness personalities, and other men and women who want to be successful. Ive helped them make persuasive presentations, answer unfriendly questions, communicate more effectively. The secret of that training has always been that you(the whole you) are the message. If you use your good qualities, oth
7、er people will want to be with you and cooperate with you. The personal qualities include: physical appearance, energy, rate of speech, pitch, and tone of voice, gestures, expressiveness of eyes, and the ability to hold the interest of others. Another person will form an impression about you based o
8、n all of these. Now recall three times in your life when you know you made a good impression. What made you successful? Im sure of this: you were committed to what you were talking about, and you were so absorbed in the moment that you lost all self consciousness. Be yourself. Many how-to books advi
9、se you to stride into a room and show your personality to impress. They instruct you to greet others with “power handshakes“. They tell you to fix your eyes on the other person. If you follow all this advice, youll drive everyone crazyincluding yourself. The trick is to be consistently you, at your
10、best. The most effective people never change character from one situation to another. Theyre the same whether theyre having an intimate conversation, addressing their garden club or being inter viewed for a job. They communicate with their whole being. The tones of their voices and their gestures co
11、mpletely go with their words. Public speakers, however, often send confusing signals to their audience. My favorite is the kind who say, “Ladies and gentlemen, Im very happy to be here“, while looking at their shoes. They dont look happy. They look angry, frightening or depressed. The audience will
12、always go with what they see over what they hear. They think, “Hes telling me hes happy, but hes not. Hes not being honest.“ Use your eyes. Whether youre talking to one person or one hundred, always remember to look at them. Some people start to say something while looking right at you, but, three w
13、ords into the sentence, they break eye contact and look out the window. As you enter a room, move your eyes comfortably, then look directly at those in the room and smile. This demonstrates that you are at ease. Some people think entering a room full of people is like going into a lions cage. I disa
14、gree. If I did agree, however, I am sure I wouldnt look at my feet, and I wouldnt look at the ceiling. Id keep my eye on the lion! Smiling is important. The best type of smile and eye contact is gentle and comfortable, not forced. Listen before you leap. My father taught me the idea of “absorbing“ o
15、ther people before showing myself. He said, “Boy, you cant learn any thing when youre talking.“ I before showing myself He said, “Boy, you cant lear anything when youre talking.“ When you attend a meeting, a party or an interview, dont immediately start throwing out your opinions. Stop for a second.
16、 Absorb whats going on. Whats the mood of others are they down, up, happy, expectant? Are they eager to learn from you, or do they show resistance? If you can sense whats happening with others, you will be better able to reach them. Focus your energy. Jack Benny taught me another important lesson. L
17、ate in his career, the great comedian was a guest on “The Mike Douglas Show“ where I was executive producer. When I met Benny, I found a little old man in a corner of the sofa. I thought, my gosh, be is going to pass away right during the show! And then it was air time. I held my breath. The band hi
18、t “Love in Bloom“, his them a song. Benny took a breath, and energy seemed to enter his body. He straightened up, winked at me, smiled and, as the doors opened for his entrance, broke into his famous arm-swinging stride and walked on stage. The “real“ Jack Benny had suddenly appeared right before ou
19、r eyes. He had been saving his energy for the performance. How do you get your energy up? Before I meet someone, I usually sit quietly and collect my thoughts. I breathe deeply. I think about the goals of the meeting, mine and the other persons. Sometimes I walk around for a few minutes, to get my h
20、eart pumping. Once I go through that doorway, I no longer think about myself I focus on the other person and try to find things to like about him. Properly collected energy comes across when we sincerely believe something. When people with energy speak, they are involved with their audience and thei
21、r message. You may disagree with them, but you cant question their belief.(When people with energy speak, they are involved with their audience and their message. You may disagree with them, but you cant question their belief. Its important to have an air of certainty. We often see people start to s
22、peak up and. then muffle their voices with their hands. Nobody is going to follow a tentative person. Its okay to be calm, cautious and deliberate, but not tentative. Lighten up. I was once in a staff meeting with one of the most powerful chairmen in the entertainment industry a much feared ty rant.
23、 He became very angry over some minor problems, scolding each person, seeming to enjoy his ability to intimidate. When he got to me, he shouted, “And you, Ailes, what are you doing?“ I said, “Do you mean now, this evening or for the rest of my life?“ There was a moment of silence, The others were wi
24、de- eyed. Then the chairman threw back his head and roared with laughter. The others laughed too. Humor broke the tension of a very uncomfortable scene. If I had to summarize in two words the advice I give to many of my clients, it would be “lighten up“! You can always spot people who take themselve
25、s too seriously. Usually they are either brooding or talking a great deal about themselves. Take a good hard look at yourself. Do you say T too often? Are you usually focused on your own problems? Do you complain frequently? If you answered yes to even one of these questions, you need to lighten up.
26、 To make others comfortable, you have to appear comfortable yourself. Dont make any dramatic changes in your personality. Just be yourself, at your best. The fact is, you already have the magic of making a good impression within you, because nobody can be you as well as you can. 2 We can make up our
