2. Could your discuss stick on the point, you had said?

Your meetings might have taken hours to end up; it doesn’t mean you are appreciated for what you have talked. You need to analyze what you have planned to share with your colleagues and what was the discussion all about. If your discussions had not stuck on the point what you had said, you need to modify the way you communicate with others. Otherwise, even if you have a good suggestion, you may not be able to convey what you have with you. You need to change your communication styles and approaches to convince what you say.

3. Are you mastered on the topic you share?

If you are not taken seriously, you will lose the way to move ahead in your career. When you communicate, you have to talk authentically to convince others. People listen to you when they believe you know what you are talking about. It is sensible before you start talking, you should know the necessary information on the topic as an expert says. You have to talk intellectually and professionally to get the applause. Your conversation may swing over another topic or another person’s opinion, if you cannot give much input on that. You should build the conversation on your point with different examples to influence others.
