“As you come to moments in the conversation where you have to collect your thoughts, just keep your mouth shut. This does two things. First, you eliminate the distraction of the annoying filler words. Second, and more importantly, you draw people in closer to you by creating anticipation in what you’re about to say.”

Also, if you have a beard, this is a good time to stroke it thoughtfully between your thumb and pointer finger.

The last tip is gold! In addition to commanding the room, you get the added benefit of learning about other people’s lives and experiences which enriches your own. Just about everyone has knowledge or insight that was learned through struggle. If you are a good listener, you can get the benefit of their experience for free.

I’ve known a couple of men who take command of their surroundings as you describe. I think the hallmark of this man is the Focus on Other People. Such a gift can overcome being short.

I second Tarcas’ comment; a lot of this sounds like Dale Carnegie’s classic, How to Win Friends and Influence People. But this has a few details not found in that book. Hats off to the Art of Manliness!
