"Look deep in the eyes?"

Looking in the eyes creates trust

• You have an important matter to resolve. Take your time and look the other person in the eye before you raise your concern. Through deep eye contact, you take space and sharpen the other person's attention to listen to you.

• Being able to look deep in the eyes also shows how important you are to yourself. If you're just saying something like that on the side, you're taking a chance to actually be heard. In an interview, always seek the attention of your interlocutor by looking deep into the eyes.

• When you look someone in the eye, you're also showing that you stand by yourself, that you have confidence, and that what you have to say is important. However, be careful not to make eye contact uncomfortable for the other by staring at them. It should be a relaxed encounter. Because self-confidence also means being able to accept another opinion.
