"Listen more talk less": Shark Tank mentor Lori Greiner shares tips on how to have the power in a room

Shark Tank mentor Lori Greiner shared an Instagram clip on April 15, 2025, sharing some tips on how to have the "power." The female entrepreneur discussed how people should "listen" more while "talking" less. By doing that, every word that you speak leaves a more "powerful" effect on those around you.

Lori Greiner stated that rather than having a loud tone, having an "even" tone would be more effective. It also shows confidence when you are sharing your side of the discussion. Additionally, Lori said that a "pause" while talking indicates being more confident.

The Shark Tank mentor stated:

"To have the power in a room, listen more talk less, so that every word you say is more powerful. You don't have to talk loud, trust me, to be heard. Actually, a calm, even tone is more effective and shows more confidence. Pausing before you speak shows more confidence too."

Shark Tank's Lori Greiner opens up about how one can have "power" while conversing with others

Everyone knows how talking in a certain way leaves an impactful impression on others. It is also one of the essential aspects of having a powerful personality. For that, the Shark Tank mentor shared an Instagram reel with the following caption:

"Tips on how to have the power in a room…the last one may surprise you."

Lori Greiner talked about listening more and talking less. Also, not talking loud is important, as she stated. An even tone is necessary to show your confidence through your words.

Further, the Shark Tank judge stated that "powerful" people do not make any excuses as they go straight to the point. The reason behind that is excuses make people look "weak." Hence, to show that whatever you are sharing is "credible", leave any unnecessary points out of the conversation.

"And powerful people address things head on and they don't make excuses for everything. Excuses make you look weak and not as credible."

Sharing more about "powerful" people, Lori mentioned that they use mistakes to make things "better." One of the qualities of powerful individuals is that they do not see "mistakes" as weaknesses.

For individuals who find themselves facing other people who go on "twisting" their words, they can "stand strong" and politely repeat their side, as Lori stated:

"Powerful people use mistakes to make things better. They don't see them as weaknesses. And if someone ever twists your words, stand strong and politely repeat what your stance is. This is important and you got this."
