Why calm men are heard

The loudest man in the room is rarely the most respected. People listen to the man who is calm, clear and sure of himself. Shouting tells people you have lost control. Calm tells them you have it.

Three habits of men who are heard

1. They speak slowly. Speed sounds nervous. Slow sounds certain.
2. They say the point first. One clear sentence, then the reasons.
3. They listen before they reply. A man who listens fully earns the right to be heard.
