Have slow, relaxed movements This shows that you do not feel scared nor pressured. ## 2. Hold eye contact, even during conflict Hold if you want to show you are not intimated. Break if you want to de-escalate. So as not to project fear, hold for three to five seconds and break to the side instead of down. See [[@themeansofseductionSeduceYourEyes2020|Use your eyes for hypnosis in a seduction context]]. ## 3. Be non-reactive to hostility This shows you feel confident in your ability to handle whatever is happening. ## 4. Be as big as your audience ## 5. Show conviction with your words No "I want to." Use "I will." ## 6. Show conviction with your tone Use a downward inflection. ## 7. Speak slowly and use pauses between words The pause is the moment you can most pull people in. Pause when people most want to hear what you have to say. See [[@themeansofseductionSeduceYourVoice2021|A seductive voice is a powerful tool for persuasion]]. ## 8. Use carrot / stick motivation If asking for a raise, show the value you added to the company (carrot) and the offers you have got (stick).
