Jefferson Fisher在播客中分享了提升自信沟通的三种方法:首先,消除沟通中的冗余词语(fluff),例如“um”、“uh”、“just”、“you know”等,这些词语会削弱表达的力度和自信。建议用沉默代替这些填充词,让呼吸引导表达,并练习在回答问题时,避免急于求成,给思考留出时间。其次,控制语调,避免“uptalk”(语调上扬),这会使表达听起来像是在提问,缺乏自信。建议在语句结尾时,语调略微下沉,使表达更坚定。最后,选择合适的词语,避免使用诸如“Does that make sense?”等不确定的表达,建议用“What are your thoughts?”等更开放性的问题代替,并尽量避免过度使用副词,例如“literally”、“essentially”等,这些词语会使表达显得冗余,降低自信度。 同时,Jefferson Fisher还强调了正式场合和非正式场合沟通方式的不同,在正式场合应避免使用过多填充词,以保持表达的清晰和自信。 针对听众Emily提出的在销售演示中如何应对不了解的问题,Jefferson Fisher建议:首先,沉着冷静,不要急于回答,给思考留出时间;其次,从过往经验出发,而不是直接说“我不知道”,可以用“I haven't run across that before. In my experience...”等表达方式,并积极寻求解决方案或寻求帮助;最后,在回答中使用“confident”等词语,可以提升自信,并使表达更具说服力。 Emily在播客中提出了一个问题:在大型销售团队中进行全国性演示时,如何应对自己不了解的问题,她经常会感到不知所措。
