Specifying, listening, exemplifying, controlling and being positive are five keys to successfully defending ideas.
Anyone, regardless of their position, needs to stand up for what they think. How well you do it depends on your success.
Key number 1: specify your positions
Be clear about what you want to defend; some people cannot assert their ideas simply because they do not know what they are. Without this certainty, it is impossible to create a strategy of conviction, let alone know who the strategy will be executed against.
Key number 2: Listen
Perhaps one of the most critical points when defending what is thought is listening to the other, on many occasions it is found that the parties in a discussion defend the same point of view, therefore by not listening, the debaters continue discussion unnecessarily. Another advantage of listening is that the initial idea begins to grow and becomes much stronger.
Key number 3: exemplify
Absolute points of view are difficult to defend, the truth usually has nuances and options, whenever possible, illustrate your ideas. An example is usually much more difficult to refute because it is usually the consequence and therefore the proof of what is being tried to prove.
Key number 4: Manage your emotions
It is not necessary to defend a good idea, insult or mistreat the interlocutor. In any case, the ideas are typical of humans, this implies that whoever finally gives viability is a person, and when they are persuaded, not forced, they respond better.
Key number 5: be positive
In exposing your point of view, be careful not to appear arrogant. The interlocutor in general will always be predisposed to hear something intelligent, something surprising, something positive. Remember that when you present an idea or defend a point of view, the latter becomes a person through you, so if you adopt a positive position you will be indicating that the idea is also positive.
