1
You are about to learn the three P's of powerful presenters, meaning when you learn these three simple techniques,
2
you will become one of the top 1 % communicators in the world.
3
So imagine you deliver a presentation, you speak on stage, even in a meeting when you implement these techniques,
4
the response you will get will be something like this.
5
This is a type of reaction you can expect when you use these techniques.
6
I'm showing you this so you have some reason to believe me
7
because at this point you might not have any idea who I am.
8
I want this presentation to be entirely focused on you, but let me put something else out there.
9
When I show you these techniques, the last thing I want you to think is, well, good for these people.
10
They can do it.
11
Or, Yasser, good for you.
12
You're a great speaker.
13
I can't do this.
14
I'm an introvert or I'm shy.
15
I can't do it.
16
Just so you know a little bit about me, my entire life, I've struggled with crippling social anxiety.
17
Meaning just going and meeting new people, I would wonder, what do I do with my hands?
18
Where do I look?
19
What do I say to fit in with these people?
20
That's the kind of conversation that was happening in my brain
21
and I had such a lack of confidence that in my wildest imagination, I never thought public speaking is what I would do with my career,
22
let alone do it at the highest level.
23
So how did I go from being such a shy person to now being on stage
24
and having been invited on the TEDx stage not once but twice?
25
I've also been an instructor at the University of Toronto, teaching public speaking there.
26
I've also had the privilege now of being on the same stage as people like
27
Bill Gates and Steve Wozniak, the co -founder of Apple.
28
You might recognize the brand Ray -Ban.
29
Well, the owner of the company, Vassilar Luxottica, he's one of the people that I have trained.
30
Other high -level executives from the government of Saudi Arabia, ministers from all over the country, and leaders and executives from all of these companies.
31
So the question is, how did I go from where I started with crippling social anxiety
32
and now to become the number one CEO speech coach in the world?
33
That is what you're about to learn in this training.
34
So what you're going to learn are three essential techniques.
35
Three techniques I call the three
36
Ps to becoming a powerful presenter.
37
The three Ps to becoming a powerful presenter.
38
And I'd rather teach you the things
39
that you actually remember instead of going into 45 different techniques that you will never remember.
40
I'd rather just teach you the three that you will actually use.
41
So let's get into it right away.
42
If you have some notes that you can write down, that will be helpful because I'll need you to remember what we're talking about.
43
So let us get into the first P.
44
What is the first P?
45
I want to ask you a quick question.
46
And that is, what is the biggest mistake most speakers make?
47
Reflect on that in your mind.
48
What do you think is the biggest mistake most speakers make?
49
A lot of people say, well, they're not interesting, they're boring.
50
There's one thing that stands above the rest.
51
And for me to demonstrate this to you, I'm going to show you an image.
52
Right now, you're going to see a black screen, okay?
53
Let me make this full screen for you.
54
I'm going to show you an image
55
and I'm going to take the image away in just a few seconds
56
so you I want you to really pay attention to what you're about to say all right
57
so get prepared I'm going to show it to you in five four three two one on.
58
Okay, that's all I needed to show you.
59
Really think about the image, really think about what you just saw.
60
Now, tell me how many circles were there?
61
How many circles were there?
62
If you are a regular human being, you might notice that you're having a little bit of difficulty.
63
You're thinking, wait there were circles?
64
I had no idea.
65
Or maybe you're just guessing and you're not entirely sure, right?
66
Let's try something one more time.
67
I'm going to show you one more image.
68
Right now you'll see a black image, but I'm going to show you the image for a fraction of a second.
69
The last image I showed to you for about five to six seconds.
70
This one I'll show to you for about less than a second, okay?
71
So here we go.
72
Pay close attention.
73
Five, four, three, two, one.
74
That's it.
75
That's all you get to see.
76
Now tell me, how many circles were there?
77
how many circles were there I'm willing to bet you can tell me how many circles you saw
78
so this is the image that you just saw
79
and there are four circles but this is the exact same image as the last one
80
that I showed you it's the exact same image
81
but why is it that
82
when I showed you this one you were not able to guess
83
but when I showed you this one you were able to guess why and
84
that is the biggest mistake most speaker speakers make they give too much information too much information they think hey
85
if I just overload the audience give them more and more
86
and more it's going to make a better presentation no people will forget most of the things
87
that you say that's just how the brain works so here's what I want you to write down.
88
It's not what you say, it's what they remember.
89
It's not what you say, it's what they remember.
90
Because you can say all the most amazing things in the world.
91
You can have all of this information in the slides.
92
But if people don't remember what you say, does it even matter?
93
And this is the problem with most presentations.
94
The way people prepare presentations is I have a presentation tomorrow
95
I'm going to take all this information cram it into the slides
96
and throw it at the audience good luck have fun
97
I'm out of here that's how most presentations are put together instead this is what you want to do
98
and this is the first P
99
you want to highlight the main point the main point of your presentation what is the main point
100
because it's not what you say, it's what they remember.
101
What is the main point?
102
I want you to think about it like this.
103
If someone attended your presentation, they walked out the room, and then someone who missed the presentation came to them and said,
104
hey, what was that presentation about?
105
You were immediately able to remember the main point and tell them, oh, this presentation was about x, y, Z.
106
This is what I remembered.
107
Most presentations, they end and you have no idea what is important about that presentation.
108
So it has to be shareable.
109
When you listen to it, you should be able to tell other people about it.
110
So let's look at a tactical example.
111
How can you engineer this in your presentations so it's easy for people to share and talk about and so it's memorable.
112
And you're about to see one of the most memorable presentations of all time,
113
which is Steve Jobs, but specifically him unveiling the MacBook Air for the first time.
114
I want you to watch this and I want you to dissect what do you think he was aiming for here?
115
Why did he present the MacBook Air this way?
116
And then we're going to unpack that.
117
Let's have a look.
118
It's so thin, it even fits inside one of these envelopes that we've all seen floating around the office.
119
And so let me go ahead and show it to you now.
120
This is it.
121
Let me take it out here.
122
This is the new MacBook Air And you can get a feel for how thin it is Yeah,
123
there it is Look at this
124
Now you and I both know that Steve Jobs is a master presenter
125
He loves building anticipation
126
He likes adding a little bit of drama them, but I want you to think about what was his main point here?
127
What was he trying to tell the audience?
128
This is important.
129
This is the main point.
130
Remember this.
131
What do you think it was?
132
He highlighted the thinness of the laptop.
133
He went so far as to have a slide
134
that had the picture of the envelope and then the laptop came out of the envelope.
135
So the main point was the thinness and how thin the laptop is
136
because he knew that he wanted to insert this language so that's what people talk about So after the presentation,
137
he talked about many things in that whole presentation.
138
What did the news choose to focus on?
139
Let's have a look.
140
Thinest laptop fits into a manila envelope.
141
Apple introduces the MacBook Air world's thinnest notebook.
142
Apple announces MacBook Air world's thinnest notebook is so slim that it can fit inside an envelope.
143
Apple unveils its latest innovation the laptop that fits inside an envelope
144
this was engineer this wasn't by a chance
145
he knew what the main point was from his presentation that's why he talked about it emphasize the thinness
146
so you don't get lost in the details
147
he could have talked about it has this much RAM
148
this much storage this steep CPU he didn't get bogged down he just focused on what's important.
149
And when you look at some of the best presenters of the world, this is exactly what they do.
150
So when you think about Simon Sinek, if you are familiar with Simon Sinek, he might have talked about a lot of things,
151
but you might not remember all of them.
152
But what you might remember is start with why.
153
That's the phrase that he is most known for.
154
Or if you think of Martin Luther King you might remember his speech what was the one main phrase
155
that he is known for I have a dream now most people
156
they can't tell you a single word from the rest of the entire speech why
157
because this is how our brain works it remembers short phrases it's one small point
158
when you think of Nike what do you think?
159
Just do it.
160
Apple, think different.
161
So when your audience is paying attention to your presentation,
162
I want you to think about they're not going to remember 99 % of the information when I share it.
163
They're only going to remember one, two, or three things.
164
So doesn't it make sense to emphasize those three things, that one point, instead of adding more and more and more and more information.
165
So when you learn to do this and you finish a presentation, this is the kind of reaction that you can expect.
166
For example, here I finished a keynote and this is what the audience member said.
167
I lost track of how many times I heard people at the event say, like Yasser said, we need to do X, Y, Z.
168
So the way you craft your presentation, I want you to change it from how can I take all the information cram it
169
and throw it at the audience you might feel good
170
that you have touched on all of these things
171
but what does it matter if no one remembers what you said
172
so instead I'd like you to think about what are the one two
173
and three things that I want the audience to remember
174
and hammer those home
175
so that's the first P is hammer your main point make sure you emphasize the point because it's not what you say,
176
it's what they remember.
177
It's not what you say, it's what they remember.
178
Now, reflecting on just how I presented this, point, it's one word.
179
It's easy to remember.
180
It's not what you say, it's what they remember.
181
That is my main message of this presentation.
182
And you will see, I will say it again and again, because I want to make sure I've implanted that in your brain.
183
So that is the first P out of the three
184
that we are going to talk about that will teach you to be a powerful presenter.
185
Now in part one, you learn to emphasize the point because it's not what you say, it's what they remember.
186
Now let's get to the second P, which teaches you how to get the audience to pay attention.
187
How do you get the audience to pay attention?
188
I want you to think back to the most boring presentation you have attended.
189
Typically what happens is the presenter shows up, there is a slide deck, or maybe they're holding a script, there's an audience in front of them,
190
they'll show up and they will just read from the slide.
191
And what does this tell you? it tells you
192
that they're more concerned about reading than interacting with me my attention is not necessary here even
193
if I got up
194
and walked out of the room they would just continue to read the slides
195
so you don't feel like they're really there with you how many times have you seen a presentation
196
that looks like this this is not public speaking in my opinion this is public reading
197
and And the thing that bothers me is most of the time I can read faster than them.
198
So the moment it's on the slide, I read it in half a second.
199
And now I'm waiting for the speaker to read it themselves out loud.
200
And then I just think this is boring.
201
I don't want to continue listening to it.
202
So how does a masterful presenter do this?
203
Instead of just showing up and reading from the slides, immediately losing 90 % of the audience,
204
I want to show you a real example of a real CEO of a really big company and how they get attention.
205
And then I'm going to make a quick point about what you can do here.
206
So you're about to see the CEO of NVIDIA start his presentation at CES
207
and I want you to notice what he does.
208
Does he show up and start reading from a slide?
209
What does he do?
210
Let's have a look.
211
Welcome to CES!
212
Are you excited to be in Las Vegas?
213
Do you like my jacket?
214
I'm in Las Vegas after all.
215
If this doesn't work out, if all of you object, well, just get used to it.
216
I think I really think you have to let this sink in.
217
In another hour or so you're gonna feel good about it.
218
For $15 .99 you bring it home to your $10 ,000 PC entertainment command center.
219
Isn't that right?
220
Don't tell me that's not true.
221
Don't be ashamed.
222
It's liquid cooled.
223
Fancy lights all over it.
224
You lock it when you leave.
225
It's the modern home theater.
226
He is present in the moment with the audience.
227
He's there with you.
228
He's having a conversation.
229
He's not there reading from the slides.
230
You feel like, oh, this person is there with me talking to me.
231
Just like in a real conversation, when someone is talking to you, you don't pull your phone out and start scrolling, right?
232
Because you're engaged, they're present in the moment, you are present in the moment.
233
But when people present, they're not present with the audience.
234
They're there just to read from the slides or regurgitate what they have memorized.
235
And when they do this, immediately it signals the audience, oh, my attention is not needed.
236
I can do something else.
237
So you have to be present that is the second piece.
238
Specifically, you have to engage them before you inform them.
239
Engage them before you inform them.
240
What do I mean by this?
241
If I just showed up today and said, hey, thank you for joining this free course today.
242
You're going to learn about public speaking.
243
Tip number one, tip number two, tip number three, thank you very much.
244
I've given you all the information, but I haven't engaged you.
245
You have no reason to listen to what I'm saying.
246
So how do you do this?
247
How do you stay present?
248
Well, first of all, the thing you don't want to do is read from the slides or memorize everything.
249
Because when you read, you're literally not looking at the audience, you're looking at the slides.
250
And when you memorize, you're so concerned about seeing the thing you memorize
251
and not blanking out that you're not reading facial expressions.
252
You're not bouncing off of the reactions.
253
They don't feel pulled into your presentation.
254
So when you're in front of an audience and they feel like you don't respect them enough to be there with them,
255
you're so concerned about your performance that you don't even care about connecting with them, they're not going to feel like you earn their attention.
256
Now, something that I like to do, I learn from Tony Robbins, I learn from Jensen Huang,
257
I like to train my audience right from the first word of my presentation
258
so that they know that this is the type of presentation where they can't just sit back and relax.
259
I expect them to participate.
260
So here's the clip and you will see how I use audience engagement to build trust
261
and then use that as a segue into my presentation.
262
So here's a quick clip.
263
Let's.
264
Just give me a quick raise of hand.
265
If you've ever met someone and in the first 10 seconds you regretted meeting them.
266
Okay, hopefully it wasn't the last 10 seconds.
267
Now just shout out some words at me.
268
What do they do or say that make you feel that way?
269
What do you think it is?
270
Yes.
271
Their features?
272
Do you like my suit?
273
Hopefully this is a good one.
274
Okay, so if I do this, why is that bad?
275
No, but...
276
You have a problem with my face in general, don't you?
277
I just don't like this guy's face.
278
Just don't touch your face.
279
I see what you're saying.
280
Yes.
281
Why is that bad?
282
So everything you're saying is correct.
283
Let's lump it into something you can remember.
284
There's a rule with body language.
285
Are you expressing yourself or are you suppressing yourself?
286
When I was on stage, what was I doing?
287
Expressing or suppressing?
288
What do we do when we hide clothes off?
289
Can you see how interactive the audience is?
290
And once again, I'm in a new country here.
291
I'm in Saudi Arabia.
292
People don't know me here.
293
I have to build trust with them.
294
But can you see how quickly we were able to go from interaction to laughter to engagement?
295
This is what everyone wants in a presentation.
296
How many times have you heard, ah, there was a lack of engagement.
297
People weren't really paying attention
298
and oftentimes presenters blame it on the audience oh the audience was boring they didn't participate
299
but really it's actually on the speaker to make it engaging
300
so be present in the moment and you cannot be present in the moment
301
if once again you're reading from the slides you've memorized every single word
302
that is not the way to be present people will instantly tune out
303
so you'll notice some of the best moments in presentations actually come from the parts
304
that are organic that you can't really plan
305
so I'll show you a segment from where I was teaching public speaking I demonstrated a technique
306
and I was asking the audience
307
and I wanted I wanted to see what a great moment
308
this turned out to be even though it's such a small part of the entire presentation watch
309
this all my behavior the way I was acting the way I was speaking what was I doing insane?
310
Too desperate?
311
Thank you so much.
312
My girlfriend says the same thing.
313
I was able to say that phrase in the moment.
314
It was a real unscripted moment in the presentation and you can see where the audience's laugh immediately.
315
I've earned trust with them.
316
There's more likability.
317
They will pay more attention.
318
As opposed to what is the one thing that you thought I was doing.
319
Yes, thank you.
320
The one thing that I was, I'm too attached to my script.
321
And I will tell you time and time again, whenever I've had the chance to speak at a conference,
322
the one thing I get told over and over again, Yasser, the thing that made you stand apart is that the audience,
323
their eyes were glued on you.
324
They felt like they were a part of the presentation.
325
And that's what you want the audience to feel.
326
You don't want them to feel like they were just there while you happened to be presenting, where they could have gotten up,
327
gone for a coffee break, come back, and you would still be presenting and nothing would change because there was no connection to them.
328
So this is what one of the event organizers said about my speech.
329
He said, we have heard from about 50 plus amazing speakers over the years,
330
but the amount of positive feedback we received from Yasser Khan was truly record -breaking.
331
You are totally enthralled and focused by what he is teaching, they walked away totally immersed.
332
And the only thing I did was I was present in the moment and I had a conversation.
333
I want them to feel like their voice is heard.
334
So for example, if you're delivering a pitch and it's just one -way traffic, people just can't say anything,
335
they're not involved, then it's a very passive experience.
336
They don't feel very involved.
337
So that's the second thing that will make you a powerful presenter.
338
The second P, which is you have to be present in the moment.
339
You have to engage them before you inform them.
340
Because if you inform them right away, if you inform them before you've earned their trust, before they're ready to be informed,
341
they're not going to listen.
342
So you first have to engage them, make it a conversation and then you begin to inform.
343
So, so far you have learned the importance of having one main point.
344
It's not what you say, it's what they remember.
345
And then you have to say present in the moment with the audience instead of regurgitating memorized passages, instead of reading from the slides,
346
engage them before you inform them.
347
Now we have one more point left and this one specifically is one
348
that I have not seen talked about very often and it's something
349
that I use all the time and this will allow you to have
350
that kind of effect on the audience
351
that will completely hypnotize them they can't take their eyes off of your presentation
352
so let's talk about
353
that now let's talk about the last p you've learned the point
354
you've learned to be present in the moment with the audience.
355
What is the last one?
356
And it will teach you how to hypnotize.
357
When I mean hypnotize, I want you to imagine,
358
imagine a cat and you have a laser pointer and you just use the laser pointer on the ground.
359
What does the cat do?
360
Immediately, it can't think about anything other than that laser and just starts chasing it around.
361
Or I want you to imagine a magic trick.
362
When someone's doing a magic trick, you can't help but, hmm, where is this going?
363
How did they do this?
364
You're so enthralled by it, you want to be involved.
365
That is the kind of hypnotic effect you can have on your presentation.
366
So let me give you a couple of different examples of how you can do this from speakers in different environments.
367
So the first example you're going to look at is Simon Sinek.
368
And this is how he opened up the keynote.
369
And I want you to keep in the back of your mind, how does he structure the presentation in a way where the audience feels,
370
I need to watch this to see how this turns out.
371
It's very subtle, but let's see if you can point it out.
372
Let's have it.
373
So I'm embarrassed that I have a career.
374
I talk about things like trust and cooperation, and there should be no demand for my work.
375
But the fact of the matter is there is demand for my work, which means that there's an opportunity.
376
It means that trust and cooperation are not yet standard in our organizations, and yet they should be,
377
and we know that, which is why we're looking for ways to bring those things to our organizations.
378
So I thought I would do something a little different today.
379
You know when you're speaking to tens of thousands of people and you have the opportunity to share a message
380
Of course most rational people would say let's go with something I've talked about lots of times
381

¿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.
