The Mel Robbins Podcast · How to Handle Difficult People: 7 Psychological Tricks to Read Anyone, Spot a Liar & Stay in Control · 1 Jun 2026 podcast

So I started doing the Today Show initially and then, you know, shootings and in crime.

And one of the things I learned from the working, you know, going on air is I had to learn to make sure my paralinguistics were strong enough so that when I spoke, it resonated.

And I found, yes, it matters what you say, but half the time it's how you say it.

And so I learned talking points.

So I'm going to give my top three.

Talk less, give them your greatest hits.

And this is whether it's a pitch, you're talking to somebody they don't need at all.

Give them the strongest hits that you have, but then put more value in how you speak.

So it's authority in your voice.

We are more likely to listen and believe in someone and see them as a confident person or as a person of authority when they use a stronger tone voice, meaning their stronger, deeper tone.

Pauses and silence are good because it lets you catch up with your thoughts.

You don't have to say everything that's in your head.

Like nobody cares.

Just give them your top talking points.

The other thing that you touched on is when you say less, you don't have to think as hard.

So what I'm also trying to do is lighten somebody's cognitive load.

If I've got all this stuff in my head that I have to say, my cognitive load is maxed out.

So I'm not going to speak well because I don't have enough cognitive...

load to pay attention to my voice.

I'm going to go, okay, Mel, this is what I want to tell you about.
