Follow these 4 simple tricks to speak up, look smart and gain respect at work.
How many times have you heard someone continue talking after posing a question? Stop at the question mark. Be clear and concise. Allow the person to answer. It takes discipline not to ramble on. People notice and appreciate when communications are crisp.Ask one or two questions, maximum, at a time. You run the risk of losing the speaker and the audience when you ask too many questions at the same time.
If you ask two questions, ask your most important one last. Many times the speaker will answer the last question first because it is the one that the speaker remembers, and there may not be time in the end to answer the first question you ask. If you have numerous questions, consider reserving and asking them at a later time when you have one on one time with the speaker.
Many people usually have the same questions you have but don’t ask them. This is your opportunity to speak up. Ask the questions everyone else is thinking, and demonstrate your leadership. How do you ask questions and demonstrate your leadership? Share with me your stories and thoughts in the comments section below or via
