So, to make the right impact with your insights, you need to be able to generate the gravitas that says 'my insights are worth noting'.

Here are ten ways to make an impact with your ideas.

1. Space
An aura of gravitas will generate a space around you. Imagine a bubble of personal space expanding around you. This will start to change the subtle cues of your body language and people will respect a greater distance.

2. Slow
Gravitas means not rushing, whether it is in your movement or your speech. A steady, deliberate pace conveys total confidence. And, when speaking, it increases control of your speech and relaxation of your vocal cords. This lets your voice stay at the bottom end of its register. Deeper tones convey authority. Keep the volume down too.

3. Small
Small movements convey economy, understanding, and deep insight. Wise people do and say little, but what they do and what they say conveys much.

4. Still
Cultivate the ability to be still to make a real contrast with the busy-busy background, and create a powerful impression of weight (the Latin word gravitas means just that).

5. Summarize
Smart people dive in with their ideas to ensure that they are heard. Wiser souls wait, observe, then assess and summarize what they have heard, adding their evaluation and insight.

6. Silence
The ultimate in slowing your speech, the linguistic equivalent of still, silence is something few can master.

7. Timing
Don't rush, jump in, or cut someone off. Instead, wait for silence before you speak, so there is only one thing for your audience to listen to.

8. Attention
With some people though, you feel as if there is nothing else in the world for them but you. These people have both charisma and gravitas. Practice paying 100% attention to the person who is speaking.

9. Process
You won't always know the answers or have the insight to transform a situation. But what you can always do is put forward a clear process that will help to gather facts, clarify issues, move to a decision. Wisdom is knowing when you don't know enough and having a way to move onward regardless.

10. Tone
Who sets the tone? Whose demeanor matters? If it's you, then you really do have gravitas.

Our full course on Gravitas gives you a five-step guide to being sought out, listened to, taken seriously, and trusted by the people around you.

- People to take you seriously?
