If you are not very tall, you can use a number of techniques to counteract the effects of higher people trying to scare you. This is especially important for women, because women are on average 5 cm below men. Try to hold meetings in rooms where you can control the height of the chairs. Seat tall people on lower chairs. The impact of growth in a sitting position is significantly reduced, and a low sofa can significantly reduce the authority of even the tallest person. Reduces the impact of growth and location at opposite ends of the table. Entering someone else's office, start talking without sitting down, even if your interlocutors are sitting. Meetings in public places, such as bars or airports, talking on the go in a crowd or in a car also limit the possibilities of higher people. If a person is hanging over you when you are sitting, go up, go to the window and look outside. Such behavior will show the interlocutors that you are seriously considering the topic under discussion, and a higher person will lose his advantage, since he will stop looking at it. And finally, remember that confident behavior can visually increase your height. All these techniques will allow you to prevail over those who decided to take advantage of their growth.

Summary

Differences in growth have a significant impact on relationships, but growth and authority are largely dependent on perception. Low people can visually increase their height and be remembered by their interlocutors rather tall. We advise men to wear dark striped suits and large watches (the smaller your watch, the less influential you are perceived by the interlocutors), and women - by trouser suits. Women should also use calm, muted tones. Watch your posture, do not slouch, walk lightly, upward gait. You will look more confident, and over time you will experience genuine confidence.
