1
So today my goal is to share with you some tips
2
and techniques that you can use to help you be more comfortable and confident when you're speaking.
3
So let's start by talking about approach.
4
We need to approach communication in an open way.
5
See it as an opportunity to share our ideas, our beliefs, our innovations.
6
But that's not enough.
7
We need to think about the audience that we're speaking to to.
8
Most of us think about here's what I want to say or here's what I need to say.
9
I would suggest that's exactly wrong.
10
You need to think about what does my audience need to hear.
11
The three things I think we need to ask about our audience are what is their knowledge?
12
What is it that they know?
13
In addition to knowledge, we need to be thinking about their expectations.
14
What is it that they expect of me?
15
And then you can choose to conform to those expectations or not.
16
The final thing we need to think about are what are their attitudes.
17
The way you approach your communication is influenced by what your audience thinks about what you're talking on.
18
Are they in favor of it?
19
Are they against it?
20
Are they hesitant, agnostic?
21
But beyond knowing your audience, you have to appreciate the context in which you speak.
22
The first thing about context we need to think about is the time.
23
What time of day are you communicating.
24
If you're talking early in the morning, you might have to have a little more energy to keep people moving.
25
Context also involves emotion.
26
Most of us when we communicate, we think about information.
27
What's in my head, in my heart, I need to communicate to you.
28
But we also communicate a feeling.
29
Maybe we're trying to get people excited and motivate them.
30
But we need to think about the emotion as well as the information.
31
The final bit of context has to do with where you're physically speaking.
32
Think about the way the room is set up.
33
Think about the environment.
34
Is it live?
35
Is it virtual?
36
Those change the way that you communicate.
37
So our approach is important, our audience is important, the context in which we find ourselves is important,
38
and so too is the way we structure our messages.
39
In fact, we remember information up to 40% better when it's structured.
40
The first structure is a chronological structure, past, present, future.
41
Here's how things used to be, here's how they are today, here's where they're going in the future.
42
The next structure happens to be the problem-solution-benefit structure.
43
You start by explaining what the issue is, you talk about how to solve it, and then the benefits to the people.
44
Finally, my favorite structure is the what, so what, now what structure.
45
You start by telling people what the issue is, you tell them why it's important in that so what step, and then you tell them what's next, what's coming.
46
So I want for you bold communication that's confident and compelling.
47
And I want for your message to echo long after you leave the room.
48
Thank you.

¿Qué es la Técnica de Shadowing?

Shadowing es una técnica de aprendizaje de idiomas respaldada por la ciencia, desarrollada originalmente para la formación de intérpretes profesionales y popularizada por el políglota Dr. Alexander Arguelles. El método es simple pero poderoso: escuchas audio en inglés nativo y lo repites en voz alta de inmediato, como una sombra que sigue al hablante con solo 1-2 segundos de retraso. A diferencia de la escucha pasiva o los ejercicios de gramática, el shadowing obliga a tu cerebro y músculos de la boca a procesar y reproducir simultáneamente patrones de habla reales. Las investigaciones muestran que mejora significativamente la precisión de la pronunciación, la entonación, el ritmo, el habla conectada, la comprensión auditiva y la fluidez al hablar, convirtiéndola en una de las metodologías más efectivas para la preparación del IELTS Speaking y la comunicación en inglés en el mundo real.
