Be it be proposing to a girl, pitching to a client, talking to an investor or appearing for a job interview, in fact in every important conversation that we have in our life, it is of utmost importance that the other person should recognize our intelligence and maturity. On the contrary, people generally get nervous, tense and anxious during important conversations that suppress their intelligence and they feel like they are a loser.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s true that the more we experience a particular situation, the more we become better at it, but that involves a lot of time wastage and loss of opportunity till the time one develops his\/her mastery of conversation skills. But is it possible for a person to boost his\/her first-glance appearance to others and convey to strangers immediately that he\/she is intelligent?<\/strong> Or in other words is there a key that unlocks people\u2019s perception of you as intelligent or not?<\/p>\n The answer is \u201cYES\u201d says Delhi\u2019s leading psychologist<\/a> and Counsellor Shivani Misri Sadhoo<\/a>. Counsellor Shivani says the factors that determine the first-glance perception of strangers to be intelligent or not are his\/her tone of voice<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0how fast he\/she speaks.<\/strong><\/p>\n There have been many scientific studies done in this area, one of the famous ones is the study published in the Journal of Psychological Science where MBA students were videotaped while they had given pitches on why they should be hired. Prospective employers and professional recruiters were then given three options: viewing the video, listening to the audio, or reading a transcript. Here\u2019s what the study concluded:<\/p>\n The evaluators rated a candidate as more competent, thoughtful, and intelligent when they heard a pitch rather than read it and, as a result, had a more favourable impression of the candidate and were more interested in hiring the candidate. Adding visual cues to audio pitches did not alter evaluations of the candidates. For conveying one\u2019s intellect, it is important that one\u2019s voice, quite literally, is heard. To summarize, when it comes to first impressions of intelligence, looks don\u2019t matter; your voice does. The reason behind this finding is attributed to human evolution; our voices are the tools that have been carefully honed for communication.<\/p>\n Since your voice is important in making your first good impression, Counsellor Shivani shares the key factors that help a person to make a good first impression.<\/p>\n 1. Use a lower pitch and vocal inflexion.<\/strong><\/p>\n People associate a high-pitched tone with nervousness or childishness. Hence deliberately lower your vocal pitch if you generally talk in high pitch during an important conversation or to important people. This will help you to express both your confidence and maturity.<\/p>\n 2. Avoid Filler Words<\/strong><\/p>\n Filler words, sometimes called vocal crutches, are words such as \u201caha\u201d, \u201cum\u201d, \u201clike\u201d, \u201cso\u201d, \u201cyou know\u201d, \u201cyes yes\u201d and other similar phrases. And while everybody uses filler words, overusing it makes a person look underconfident and incompetent at times.<\/p>\n The problem with filler words is that people generally are not aware that they use them. Hence to avoid using filler words, one can record themselves in conversations and listen to the recordings five minutes a day for two weeks. The awareness of using fillers helps a lot along with conversation practice where one can learn to substitute silence for these fillers; verbal pauses, even when overused, only serve to increase a speaker\u2019s credibility.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Be it be proposing to a girl, pitching to a client, talking to an investor or appearing for a job interview, in fact in every important conversation that we have in our life, it is of utmost importance that the other person should recognize our intelligence and maturity.
