1
You're about to watch the before and afters of one of my students who just graduated our recent speaking boot camp.
2
And this is specifically designed to show you how if you are someone for whom English is not your first language, you feel like because I don't speak like native speakers,
3
maybe you work in the US, UK and Australia, and you were born in, let's say, Nigeria, Bangladesh, other places in the world.
4
And you feel like because I don't have the accent, because I don't have the best grammar or the right vocabulary.
5
I can't speak like a leader.
6
I can't speak like a CEO.
7
My goal is in this video to not only change that belief, but also to show you we think the accent and the grammar
8
and the vocabulary is the problem because we don't know what else could be the problem.
9
So let's watch the before video first, just so you can see what the students spoke like and how quickly they changed the way they spoke.
10
Not blanking out in between my words and also just,
11
yeah, forgetting what I'm saying and being able to say things concisely and also confidently, right?
12
And just being able to speak clearly with conviction shown in a way that someone understands.
13
Now in the video, you can't see the eyes, but you can observe a few things.
14
One is he's struggling to figure out what to say next.
15
He says one sentence and then immediately in his brain, what do I say next?
16
And he fills that in with filler words or he's trying to find the route to his next sentence.
17
So he sounds unsure.
18
He doesn't really know where he is going.
19
And also, if you could see his eyes, you would have seen him do this with his eyes.
20
Yeah, so this, and I want to do that.
21
It doesn't really sound and project confidence.
22
Now, with a lot of my students, when they speak like this, because they're thinking of what to say, they think it's a translation issue.
23
They think it's a grammar issue.
24
Yes, sir, I can't find the right words.
25
Therefore, it's a vocabulary problem.
26
If I had the right words, if I have fancy vocabulary, this would fix it.
27
However, there's a nuance here.
28
There's a difference.
29
You are searching for words, yes, but that doesn't mean you lack vocabulary.
30
That means you haven't trained your brain to organize your thoughts.
31
You haven't learned to organize before you verbalize.
32
That is a different skill.
33
And you learn that by learning what do I say first, what do I say second, what do I say third.
34
If I ask you a question right now, most of us, whatever the first thought is, we just verbalize a thought.
35
And then when we're finished with that thought, we get another thought in no particular order, and we just go from here to here to here to here to here to here to here in no particular order.
36
So then it sounds like you're rambling, and you don't know where you're going, and then, you know, all of a sudden, yeah, so you end up sounding like this.
37
So what did we do?
38
Number one, when he was speaking like this, we made sure that he learned how to speak in structure, which is get to the point as soon as possible.
39
When you finish a sentence, you pause at the end of the sentence just for a fraction, fraction of a moment, so you get time to think of the next thing to say.
40
So you pause, you structure the thing, and then you say the thing next.
41
Then you do it again, and again, and again.
42
The next thing he learned is to enunciate the words.
43
So for example, you know, if I'm talking like this, all the words are mixed together, merge, I'm talking really fast, and you can't really understand what I'm saying because none of the words are enunciated.
44
You probably have no idea what I said.
45
But if I'm speaking, even if I'm speaking really fast, you will notice that the enunciation, meaning I am sounding out the words as I am speaking.
46
So you can clearly understand what I am saying because you can hear each sound in each syllable of each word.
47
You following me?
48
So we trained them how to enunciate his words properly.
49
So first he learned how to organize his thoughts.
50
Then he learned how to enunciate properly.
51
The last thing he learned is he didn't quite know how to project calm confidence.
52
You see, my experience, my domain, is to teach people how to speak like a CEO,
53
which essentially means how do you communicate like an expert in a corporate environment.
54
I'm not training motivational speakers.
55
I'm not training stand -up comedians or news anchors.
56
That's not my thing.
57
If you want to be perceived as an expert in a board meeting, when you're talking to executives, when you are delivering a company update,
58
a presentation, that is what I specialize in, how to speak like a CEO
59
so what we had him do is become aware of his movements
60
when he is speaking before he had some angsty movement you might not see this in the video
61
but later on throughout the classes he had that something else is
62
when he would speak he would either have these movements
63
or he didn't know what to do with his hands
64
so Tom sometimes he would just leave his hand hanging in the air like this
65
so that will make him look like he's unsure so he would talk like this and then
66
say something else and
67
that can you see my hands they don't really communicate a lot of confidence
68
so the way our classes are structured is every single week we focus on one thing
69
so let's say you join the class on a Thursday between Thursday
70
and next Thursday you just focus on one simple area
71
and then it's your assignment between that class
72
and the next class to go into work and implement it
73
so my job is not to just tell you what to do good luck you've written some fancy diagrams down.
74
My job is to tell you what to do.
75
Make sure you do it.
76
So that repetition of the skill is what builds the change.
77
So then you practice one thing, seven days in a row you're doing it.
78
By the time you come to the next class, you've already seen a change.
79
So let's say you're working on enunciation in the first class.
80
Day two, day three, day four, day five, day six, you're focusing on enunciation.
81
You're practicing it at work.
82
You're already getting feedback from people and you're thinking wow i made
83
that much progress in just this much time that is insane
84
so when you do that over a period of 30 days
85
if you just did this for 30 days in a row
86
it will blow your mind how much progress you make you're
87
highly focused you're not trying to get more information you're trying
88
to get more repetition to become better at this skill
89
so what does the end result look like let's have a look um and also
90
confidently right and i've just been able to speak clearly with with conviction in a way
91
that someone someone understands i learned to pause when i speak
92
because that helps my listeners to follow along
93
and for me to also process what i'm saying secondly i learned to use my body
94
to carry the listeners along thirdly i learned to apply the sandwich method
95
which is a technique that involves stating my point giving the reasons
96
and then closing by restating the point to help the listeners process and understand what I am saying.
97
Now, I want to state this is not the end result.
98
This is just us moving in the right direction.
99
Imagine that for 20, 30, 40, 50, 60 years of your life, you've been speaking a certain way.
100
And in a span of 7, 10, 14 days, you see this big of a change.
101
This is just the beginning.
102
We've just planted the seed.
103
Now, when you learn how to water the seed and practice it at work, the next two, three, four, five six months a year later
104
when you keep doing it you completely transform the way you speak
105
so my job as a coach is to get you to
106
that point where you at least change you see changes in
107
your speech you become aware of what you need to do to see visible changes
108
and how people perceive you so even
109
if English is not your first language your grammar is not the best your vocabulary is not the best
110
if you can learn to speak with control emotion
111
and organize your thoughts if you have these three things you can speak like a ceo
112
and you can speak better than 99 percent of the human population now
113
if you would like to learn to speak like a ceo
114
and do it in record time check the video description for our resources
115
and classes i'll see you in the next one

¿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.
