We all want respect, but often struggle to do things that garner and earn the respect
of other people.
It's not that we shouldn't be respected, it's just if you don't know how to earn respect,
then it's incredibly difficult to do so.
Therefore, in this video we look to give you 5 tips to understand how to command respect
from others...
1.
Use Body Language - Simply put, body language is critical for
how you communicate to the world about yourself and who you are in your day to day life
- The fact is, if you slouch with hunched shoulders, keep your head down and avoid eye
contact or other direct forms of communication, what does that say about you?
- Ultimately, it will show a lack of confidence and self belief, which will create doubt that
others have in you and potentially in your ability
- So first and foremost, show through your body that you have confidence, belief and
deserve to have respect from others, by standing straight, tall and with your chin up
2.
Have Self Belief - Following on from the previous point, a
part of standing tall and appearing confident is that you want to give off the perception
that you know you should be respected - However, this shouldn't be faked, it should
be because you believe in yourself and your capabilities, meaning the respect earned is
genuine - This begins with a process of believing
in yourself and your qualities, acknowledging what you enjoy and are good at, as well as
identifying examples as evidence of this - As the examples act as references for the
belief, making it stronger and more difficult to break down, giving you a real shot of confidence
3.
Have Character - If you want respect then you need to behave
as someone who deserves respect, acting with character, personality and courage to do so
- This means doing what's right and taking on responsibility when necessary to ensure
you're supporting people and helping them achieve their goals
- Add this to your personality too, be confident in yourself and your ability, and while you
might have occasional failures, you always promise to give your best
- How you communicate is critical too in this, as you want to speak clearly and loud enough
to make sure you are heard, speaking from the chest to project your voice
4.
Fulfil Promises - If someone makes numerous promises and fails
to deliver almost everytime, chances are you won't respect them and people will have the
same perception of you - Therefore, if you take on responsibility
to do something, make sure you go ahead and do what you say you will, even if small or
seemingly insignificant - As you show yourself to be reliable and
trustworthy, people will naturally respect you more and trust that you can support them
when called on - This doesn't mean you will always succeed,
but even if in those you can show you did your very best, people will still respect
your efforts
5.
Have Self Respect - Fundamentally, if you want respect from
other people, first and foremost you need to respect yourself and be the person you
want to be - This is built by living life by the principles
and values you believe in, acting in line with the qualities you yourself respect
- In addition to this, you can just pretend to have these qualities, but instead you need
to believe fully and completely that you have them
- ...and if you don't, then it's time to work to make changes in yourself and in your life
to become the person you want to be
Do you do any of these and if so, which ones?
