1
How do you train your brain to be able to think faster when you're being put on the spot?
2
You see, when someone asks you a question and you're not prepared, what happens?
3
Your brain hits the panic button,
4
you open a dozen browser tabs in your head,
5
trying to scramble for what to say,
6
and as you start verbalizing your thoughts,
7
it causes you to ramble instead of speaking clear points.
8
This can be extremely frustrating and sometimes even embarrassing.
9
How do I know?
10
Because I used to do this.
11
It makes you feel awful.
12
It makes you feel incompetent and it makes you look like you're not confident.
13
My name's Vin Zhang, and I'm a communication skills teacher.
14
And I want to share with you the exact solution to this common problem,
15
which I shared on stage at my recent public speaking workshop in Sydney.
16
So make sure you listen closely.
17
With prepared content, I'm much more confident.
18
If I have to speak off the cuff, a lot less confident.
19
Okay, so this is really important to dissect here.
20
Yeah.
21
Because if someone asks you a question and you're not prepared,
22
then what do you fall back on?
23
Generally rambling.
24
This is where frameworks are important.
25
So when you've got a framework,
26
you fall back on the framework instead.
27
How many of you use frameworks when you communicate?
28
You've got frameworks you use?
29
Okay, fantastic.
30
So, small part of the room.
31
I'd say less than 10% of you.
32
I'm going to share with you a very simple framework.
33
This is one I still use and I'm using it in this Q&A right now.
34
Three, two, one.
35
I love this framework.
36
It's fantastic.
37
It's the most brilliant thing.
38
I use this for social media content.
39
I use this to do Q&A.
40
I use this when I have very little time to prep.
41
Three, two, one means what?
42
It means three steps, two types, and the one thing.
43
Three, two, one.
44
Three steps, two types, one thing.
45
So I'm gonna put you under the spot,
46
and I'm gonna teach you how to use it.
47
So could the audience members,
48
could you give me a random topic?
49
Sorry?
50
Avocados.
51
Avocados.
52
Thank you.
53
Right?
54
Good.
55
So avocado.
56
The one thing about avocados is it's incredible on a keto diet.
57
It's just fantastic.
58
I love eating avocados and it's such a high protein source.
59
It's fantastic.
60
So that's the one thing.
61
That's me using the one thing.
62
So I immediately can give my brain something to lean on as opposed to,
63
oh my God, what do I talk about?
64
Do I talk about it's green?
65
Do I talk about when you eat avocados?
66
Do you talk about when it's ripe?
67
Do you talk about if you leave it in your fridge too long,
68
it goes black and you can't eat it or can you still eat it?
69
I'm not sure.
70
I don't know what I'm talking about.
71
it the way the Mexicans do it.
72
That's what your brain does.
73
And when your brain does that, you go blank.
74
You go blank.
75
And then you don't say anything,
76
and you get tongue twisted.
77
Whereas this just gives me a framework.
78
I picked the one thing because it was easy.
79
The one thing is I love it when I'm on a keto diet.
80
And then you can go,
81
well, there are two ways, two types.
82
I'll just switch this up a little bit and say two ways.
83
Two ways to have an avocado.
84
You can smash it on toast,
85
or you can eat it like a fruit.
86
And those who do that, animals.
87
But there are two ways.
88
So immediately my brain, I give it a framework to immediately go to.
89
Or I can give you three steps on how to prepare avocado.
90
First step, obviously, cut it in half,
91
whichever way you like, but get the skin off the avocado.
92
Step two, mash it.
93
Step three, salt and pepper and lemon.
94
Unreal.
95
So my brain immediately is able to do that.
96
So you're watching this you're thinking yeah,
97
yeah cool cool story, bro,
98
but can I do it you can because you're gonna do it so stand there All right,
99
so you get to pick whichever one you you don't have to do all three you're gonna pick one all right Okay,
100
so you ready for the random topic no and It's okay, you're never ready.
101
No one's ever ready.
102
It's fine.
103
No one's ever ready
104
You see I'm gonna give you the random topic and I want you to formulate your answer in three seconds.
105
I know it's crazy I'm gonna simulate pressure here for you, okay?
106
So the topic is, and pause.
107
Before I play the rest of the clip of my student absolutely crushing the 3-2-1 framework,
108
I just wanna remind you that this is just one of many communication frameworks that you can learn.
109
I recorded a free two hour training diving deeper into the 3-2-1 framework
110
and two other powerful communication frameworks that will help you avoid going blank while under pressure.
111
It's gonna stop you rambling and increase your confidence in everyday conversations.
112
If you want access to that training, it's super easy.
113
Just click the first link you see in the description below or check out the pinned comment.
114
I've put a link there as well.
115
All right, now please watch the rest of the video.
116
It's amazing how she handles this.
117
So the topic is travel.
118
Three, two.
119
The one thing about travel is it's magnificent.
120
You can go anywhere you want.
121
Perfect.
122
Love it.
123
Round of applause, Thank you.
124
Next, next.
125
Straight away into the mic.
126
Next one, two types.
127
Two types of travel is you can travel regionally and you can travel internationally by airplane.
128
Round of applause again.
129
That was fantastic.
130
Again, three steps to travel.
131
Three steps to travel is plan it, book it, go.
132
Big round of applause.
133
She did it, right?
134
It's so easy, yet when we don't have frameworks,
135
our brains just go to,
136
oh my god what do you mean travel I hate travel I don't want my kids to watch
137
and then your brain goes crazy you did that you did
138
that before I finished counting down to three that was so arrogant
139
I love travel I was still going and you went I got this man
140
and you see that that's the difference between being prepared with a framework
141
because now you're excited to communicate
142
when you're not prepared you're not excited you're scared you don't want to communicate whereas you leaned into it
143
if you noticed your body language you came into the market,
144
you walked towards me because you felt ready.
145
So when you fall back on a framework,
146
it just makes things simple.

- /z/ — sonora, no /s/: applause /əˈplɔːz/, preposition /ˌpɹɛpəˈzɪʃən/, verbalize /ˈvɜɹbəlaɪz/, browser /ˈbɹaʊ.zəɹ/, oppose /əˈpoʊz/

- Empieza a velocidad 0,75×, haz shadowing frase por frase y vuelve a la velocidad normal cuando te resulte fácil.
- Grábate y compara con el original, prestando atención a palabras como avocado, ramble, applause.
¿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.
