"Being able to write and speak as articulately as possible" I'd add onto that, get some voice training to speak from the belly and with a lower voice. It's a "shortcut", people automatically listen to you. https://www.marketwatch.com/story/why-theranos-ceo-elizabeth-holmes-may-have-faked-a-low-voice-according-to-professional-vocal-coaches-2019-03-20/

Also I feel your posture and the way you move can really make an impact. People are animals too at the end of the day, if you move with purpose and with your back straight, they're more likely to take you seriously.
