1
Tommy Shelby is stone -cold confident and seemingly fearless, so in this video
2
we're going to break down what you can learn from him
3
to be confident in those high -pressure situations in your own life.
4
Also, the original version of this video was banned by YouTube, which is why you might recognize this re -uploaded updated version.
5
Please don't ban us again, YouTube.
6
Spoilers through season five to follow.
7
First off, perhaps the most noticeable thing about Tommy is that he
8
He rarely overreacts in situations of extreme pressure.
9
Tommy's calm, non -reactive demeanor is extremely unsettling to his adversaries.
10
But even more important, it's in this remaining calm
11
that he's able to put into practice all of the other strategies that we're discussing in this video.
12
So this piece is foundational.
13
Now, Tommy wasn't born cool as a cucumber.
14
None of us are.
15
He developed this trait through repeated exposure to life -threatening situations,
16
first in the war and then over and over and over again in the course of his rise as a gangster.
17
The same principle applies in our lives.
18
If we want to remain calm in certain situations, the most reliable way isn't simply by focusing on keeping a straight face or a deadpan stare.
19
In fact, the more you think about your facial expressions when you're nervous, the more likely you are to actually blush.
20
So even though people notice the unflinching face, the best way to get there is through what's called exposure therapy.
21
Essentially, you put yourself into less challenging simulations of whatever difficult scenario you're about to face.
22
So if you're going to interview, doing a mock interview with a friend or even touring the building
23
that you'll be interviewing in can go a long way to calming your nerves on the big day.
24
Or if you want to be more comfortable in social situations,
25
saying a single extra sentence to a service person can challenge you without triggering total panic.
26
But Tommy's experience also shows us what happens
27
if you expose yourself to overwhelming situations rather than gradations of slightly more challenging ones.
28
Now, outsmarting people requires more than just composure.
29
Tommy often has to persuade people that have every reason to hate him
30
and he exhibits three powerful tools that regularly keep him in control.
31
The first is his use of state -breaking questions.
32
Watch.
33
So the odd fellows want you to know that any deviation from your instructions will have
34
When we're under pressure, our natural response is to go with the flow
35
and passively accept the conversational pace set by someone who's in a position of power over us.
36
However, in doing so, we surrender our power during that conversation, which in a negotiation usually leads to an unfavorable deal.
37
This state -breaking question is a seemingly out -of -place question that breaks the one -sided conversational flow.
38
And from there, conversation is much easier to steer in a new direction.
39
In this case, Tommy uses it to assert his power despite the fact that he is imprisoned.
40
You visited your sister.
41
Hey.
42
What's your name, boy?
43
Interestingly, when Tommy does have power, he doesn't allow others to divert it away with their own state -breaking questions.
44
He simply continues down his original path rather than answering them.
45
Furthermore, he has a criminal profile which will make his actions explicable to the police.
46
In your life, you probably don't want to use this to introduce threats into a conversation, but it can be an incredibly persuasive tool,
47
especially when someone's emotional state is preventing them from moving forward productively.
48
For instance, if someone is feeling upset, asking a random lighthearted question can snap their state for long enough for them to consider more empowering possibilities.
49
And we saw this in the video that we did on Tony Robbins getting people out of depression.
50
What makes you hate yourself?
51
Is it the red shoes?
52
What?
53
Is it the red shoes?
54
No. Are you sure?
55
You have the fucking red.
56
Now, a simple question isn't going to instantly put someone on your side.
57
In fact, other people can be counted on to continue to pursue their own agendas, which is why we often see
58
Tommy get what he wants by finding a way to align his needs with the other persons.
59
Watch here as Tommy tries to convince another faction to join him in a war against the Italians.
60
He doesn't appeal to honor or to doing what's right, but to doing what's good for Alfie Solomon.
61
Now, in order to do this effectively, you cannot imagine that other people want the same things as you.
62
You must try to first view the world from their perspective.
63
Now, I know this may sound obvious but so few people follow this advice.
64
Instead, they offer others what they would want, never getting anywhere.
65
So before offering help, you need to make sure you understand the other person's world, which is why
66
Tommy comes to these meetings already understanding the position and temperament of the person that he's going to be speaking to.
67
Distillery provides one -tenth of your income.
68
Protection is another 10 % of the rest you make from the rice trucks.
69
I know you keep a gun in the drawer.
70
I know you keep it beside the whiskey.
71
I know.
72
You offer a deal of death.
73
And if after all of your research on someone, you're still unclear on what they want,
74
you can always just ask them in the course of conversation.
75
I want to know what you want.
76
One concrete area
77
that you can put this to use in your own life is in connecting with someone
78
that you might like as a mentor, or say a CEO, an influencer, whoever.
79
The internet makes it easier than ever to get in touch with these people,
80
but it also means that they get more of these requests than ever before.
81
So rather than the typical let's chat over coffee,
82
research a particular problem they may have and then offer to meet to discuss how specifically you can help.
83
This is a much, much more effective way to start that relationship.
84
But even beyond this particular scenario, the point is
85
that one of the best ways to get what you want
86
is to seriously consider how you can get other people what they want.
87
Now, this brings us to the next point.
88
When Tommy really needs something done, he doesn't just solve someone's problem.
89
He gives both the carrot and the stick, which is a much stronger motivation when you're trying to affect large changes.
90
Watch.
91
The nature of the deal is explained in my proposal.
92
I've booked you a suite at the Midland Hotel.
93
If you need anything in this city, just mention my name.
94
So you want to impress me, Mr. Shelby?
95
Also in the envelope is a check for £500 for your wife.
96
She can use it to buy a black dress
97
and a black horse with black feathers to pull a black
98
carriage with your body in it should you break the terms of the white flag.
99
Some people are motivated more by the prospect of gaining something, others by the fear of losing something.
100
And all of us are motivated when there is a particular path that assuages both of those desires, which is why
101
Tommy makes sure to hit on both whenever he needs someone to be all in on one of his plans.
102
You can see it again here.
103
This time, he does it in reverse order.
104
If those guns reach Belfast, your life in the force is over.
105
When I've achieved what I've set out to achieve, I will let you know where to find the guns.
106
You'll be a hero.
107
You'll probably get a medal.
108
This is a far superior persuasive strategy than simply commanding or threatening people, and it's incredibly helpful when you're trying to inspire any group of people.
109
So whether it's in school or work, when there's a team of people that you're trying to move towards a common goal,
110
or if it's in business, when you're trying to explain the value of a product that you're selling,
111
don't just talk about what someone can gain if they follow your vision, but instead on what they might miss out if they don't.
112
Now this takes us to the last piece, which is truly what makes
113
Tommy Shelby so unique and probably why so many people love him.
114
And it's his ability to turn trash into resources, lemons into lemonades, as the phrase commonly says.
115
But I wouldn't actually use that phrase because it's most often used to describe making the best of a bad situation.
116
In Tommy's case, he makes a bad situation better than if it had never happened in the first place.
117
For example, when there's a failed assassination attempt on his brother's life, he doesn't just look at the bright side of things,
118
that his brother is alive.
119
He uses that attempt to spread disinformation, telling everyone that Arthur, his brother,
120
is dead, which buys him time to recuperate and then eventually surprise and kill that season's big baddie, Luca Cangretta.
121
Similarly, Tommy is told that he needs to kill his friend Danny Wizbing to avoid all -out war with the Italian gangsters.
122
Clearly a bad situation.
123
But he makes it work out better than
124
if he didn't have to by using it as an opportunity to fake Danny's death,
125
which gets him a man who can operate in London without anyone even looking for him.
126
And it also gets him a hiding place for the guns that he stole at the beginning of the season, the supposed grave of his friend,
127
a place that no one would even think of looking.
128
Now, this might seem like it could only work in scripted dramas,
129
but this strategy of turning trash into resources is how some of the most elegant
130
and brilliant solutions are created in the real world.
131
The point is, the bad things in your life may only appear bad in a particular context.
132
If you could put those things into a completely new and different context, you can turn something that everyone else overlooked into a valuable resource.
133
So an extremely powerful question to ask when you're frustrated
134
or you wish a circumstance wasn't the case is how can the thing
135
that I least want become valuable towards another goal of mine?
136

148

Was ist die Shadowing-Technik?
Shadowing ist eine wissenschaftlich fundierte Sprachlerntechnik, die ursprünglich für die professionelle Dolmetscherausbildung entwickelt und durch den Polyglotten Dr. Alexander Arguelles populär gemacht wurde. Die Methode ist einfach aber wirkungsvoll: Du hörst englisches Audio von Muttersprachlern und wiederholst es sofort laut — wie ein Schatten, der dem Sprecher mit nur 1–2 Sekunden Verzögerung folgt. Anders als passives Hören oder Grammatikübungen zwingt Shadowing dein Gehirn und deine Mundmuskulatur, gleichzeitig echte Sprachmuster zu verarbeiten und zu reproduzieren. Studien zeigen, dass es Aussprachegenauigkeit, Intonation, Rhythmus, verbundene Sprache, Hörverständnis und Sprechflüssigkeit signifikant verbessert — was es zu einer der effektivsten Methoden für die IELTS Speaking-Vorbereitung und reale englische Kommunikation macht.
