Four Easy Ways to Sound Smarter
Knowledge is very different from information: Knowledge is insight, not just an accumulation (накопление) of facts. You can show your mastery in this area in the following ways.
1. DO YOUR HOMEWORK
Prepare for impromptu (неожиданный) conversations. If you’re headed for a job interview, do your homework. Imagine the questions that might be thrown at you. Be ready for chance encounters in the corridors, elevators, or around the coffee machine.
2. PROVIDE A CLEAR STRUCTURE
Once you state your idea, make the depth of your knowledge clear by offering proof points that support your one idea.Use tags like “the first reason,” the second reason,” or “The challenge we faced . . .” and “Our response was a collaborative one.”
By highlighting your structure, you’ll sound knowledgeable because people will understand what you’re saying.
3. SIMPLIFY YOUR LANGUAGE
Ironically, the simpler your words and sentences, the more profound (глубокомысленный) you’ll sound. True wisdom lies in clarity, so choose simple words and short sentences.
4. CHOOSE YOUR MOMENTS
Finally, pick the right moments to speak up and share your views.
