1
You are not under-confident.
2
You are just under-trained.
3
Let this thought settle in.
4
Because this sentence can actually change the way you look at confidence.
5
Hi everybody, this is Shruti and I welcome you to another video with English Yari.
6
Today we are going to discuss how you can become dangerously confident.
7
Whichever room I walk in, whoever I talk to, I always come across as a strong person or a confident person.
8
How did I achieve that is what I will share today, maybe the secret sauce of my confidence.
9
Now in this video, I'm not going to motivate you
10
or give you tips and tricks or probably share a form with me.
11
I can do that.
12
I am confident.
13
Not really.
14
We are going to look at some practical roadmaps by which you can be confident wherever you go.
15
So I've divided this video in three parts.
16
Number one, first, we will focus on how your brain function.
17
If you don't understand the functionality, you will not be able to train it.
18
Number two, we will train your brain so that confidence comes to you automatic.
19
Third and foremost, the practical executioner steps, which will take you closer to your confidence.
20
It's like you have confidence, but it is just in a box.
21
Now we have to tap in and open that box so that you can become unstoppable.
22
Stay tuned and let's do this one after the other.
23
So let's begin with our part number one.
24
Part one, understand your brain.
25
Before I tell you something about confidence, I want you to answer this.
26
Have you tried anything scary in your life?
27
Something that you were really, really scared of?
28
For me, it was bungee jumping.
29
The moment I jumped from height, my God, it was a crazy experience.
30
Now, people often ask me, Shruti, were you confident the moment you jumped?
31
and my answer is absolutely not you know what my heart
32
was racing my body was shivering every cell of my brain was telling me buddy don't do it
33
but eventually i did the moment i landed the first thing
34
i said was wow i actually did it now i want
35
you to understand something from this was i confident before the
36
jump not really did confidence come before jump no it came after jump Your brain functions exactly this way.
37
People come and say, Shruti, I don't feel confident.
38
Confidence will never come to you before you do something.
39
It comes after it.
40
So when you take action, that's when you get confidence.
41
That's what you have to do.
42
Take example of people who climb mountains or people who climb Mount Everest.
43
Do they wake up one day saying, okay, today I have to climb the highest mountain in the world.
44
Not really.
45
They try, they fail, they struggle, and eventually they achieve it.
46
But once they complete that, once they climb the highest peak, their confidence is unshakable.
47
That's exactly how your brain functions.
48
Brain actually understand the idea of experiences.
49
Through experiences, it feels, okay, my action is proven.
50
Take example or take an idea of your brain like AI.
51
Will AI give you better answers if your prompt is weak, not really, versus if your prompt is well structured, it will give you better result, better output.
52
I brain is like a storage box, memory box, right?
53
So maybe it has some of the memory from your past events where you didn't feel confident.
54
Maybe any moment in the past where you wanted to speak in English, but you somehow couldn't.
55
When you tried speaking, somebody mocked you
56
or made fun of you your relative said something to you
57
when you were in office somebody cut you off
58
because of your communication so all these memories are now in your brain
59
which is stopping you to become confident that's why i tell people standing in front of the mirror
60
and saying i'm confident will not help you
61
because your brain will eventually ask where is the proof where
62
exactly how come you have to get the state in your head
63
that if you will feed your brain fear it will create fear
64
if you'll feed success or victorious moment it will show you
65
that it will eventually give you confidence
66
so confidence comes after the action you take
67
and in this video we are going to learn those actions i'll tell you a small incident from my school
68
and college days
69
so once in my college i was uh participating in a debate competition i went on stage
70
and let me tell you before
71
that i was always confident in speaking in front of 20 to 30 people that was something i had done before, right?
72
But this very competition, I'm telling you, the moment I stood on stage, I saw that the auditorium is filled today.
73
It was filled with people that I lost count on how many are sitting, how many are standing, and I panicked.
74
So as far as I remember, I introduced myself, introduced the topic I'm going to talk about, and then my brain froze completely.
75
After a second, I said, sorry, everyone cheered.
76
Maybe they just wanted me to feel that it's okay, Shruti, not every day is a good day.
77
But deep in my brain, I felt so bad.
78
The Shruti, you goofed up.
79
I was completely guilty and nervous.
80
I didn't face my teacher for good one week.
81
If she used to come, I used to change my path that I don't want to cross and share this with my tutor.
82
What exactly happened?
83
Now, this was a bad memory.
84
Maybe you also had this bad memory, as I just said.
85
But I didn't let this bad memory settle in my brain.
86
I started participating or giving my name in every second competition in college.
87
Because the role here was not for me to win.
88
I just wanted to make myself comfortable.
89
So initially, I used to speak for a minute, slowly two minutes, three minutes.
90
And later on, the moment I stepped out, I could speak for 15-20 minutes at a stretch as well, without hesitation.
91
that's what so i gave my brain one low effort maybe one failure it recorded
92
but i gave 10 victories so that next time it remembers
93
that okay you have done it in the past i can give you
94
that confidence this brings me to point number two is train your brain confidence comes from repetition
95
and repetition builds reputation let's take example of gym
96
when you go to gym do you just lift one dumbbell
97
and eventually say okay i'm done for today no whatever exercise you do you repeatedly do certain things maybe
98
if you are doing squats you don't just do one squat
99
and that's it no you do maybe 10 15 20 why
100
because repetition helps you grow your muscles your brain is actually a muscle it needs repetition not motivation
101
because motivation is not sustainable that's what exactly we do at English Yari.
102
Our learners do not get confidence just by attending one amazing session.
103
They get confidence through repeated actions every day.
104
They speak for 25 minutes, they learn, they commit mistakes, understand what's wrong.
105
And day by day, they get this clear idea, oh my lord, I've done this 100 times.
106
That is what builds confidence in them and they become unstoppable.
107
Now, here is a thing.
108
You do not have to just practice speaking.
109
You have to practice speaking in situations to all my people
110
who are watching me right here till now I want I'll give you certain situations
111
and after this video try speaking on the situations imagine you're
112
introducing yourself to a group of 100 people how would you
113
introduce now take a situation where you your manager said something
114
but you do not actually go by what he said
115
or you want to say something differently how would you make
116
your point number three is your meeting a friend after 10 years
117
what would be your initial way of starting a conversation
118
or striking a conversation give yourself multiple situations start speaking about it
119
so that when in real life these situation comes you actually are prepared how to speak on it
120
or you've played in your brain a hundred times
121
if you know bruce lee he always said one thing
122
that i'm not scared of somebody who has who knows 100
123
different moves i am always scared of somebody who has done one or practiced one single move for 100 times.
124
So it's OK.
125
Practice that particular mindset and you'll see the improvement when you do this.
126
Please do not forget your body it's good
127
that you're training your brain you're training on certain words
128
but your body reveals a lot about you too your eyes
129
your shoulder your body language your spine the way your hands move everything tells about it
130
so have that focus
131
while speaking do i smile enough do i make eye contact
132
do i engage with my body do i have open body language all those things actually help you in your journey
133
So train your body along with your words.
134
And this brings me to part number three.
135
Part number three, challenge your brain.
136
The biggest confidence killer is not failure, it's avoidance.
137
Every time you stop or you stay silent in meetings, your brain records.
138
Speaking is dangerous.
139
You do not ask questions.
140
When a lot of people are present, your brain records.
141
People might judge me.
142
You do not introduce yourself.
143
what is happening right now every time you're staying silent your brain is getting evidence
144
that okay he is not confident now here is a part
145
challenge yourself you know what you get confidence out of your comfort zone never in your comfort zone
146
so every day you have to do one thing
147
that makes you uncomfortable it could be starting one conversation talking
148
to anybody recording yourself in for a minute on any topic maybe approaching somebody networking yourself staying into a conversation,
149
asking a question in meeting, anything.
150
You ask yourself what makes me uncomfortable, try doing that.
151
Feed your brain enough memory that it understands you are born confident, you have it in you.
152
You know, courage comes before confidence.
153
If you don't have the courage, how would you have the confidence?
154
Courage will give you a space to present and your presentation will help you achieve confidence.
155
Before I end this video, remember these three parts.
156
Number one, understand how your brain works wherever i feel under confident what are those past moments
157
which have created this feeling change
158
that number two is strain your brain practice different situations you
159
can also connect to our whatsapp community to know certain things about
160
that third and foremost challenge yourself one actionable challenging moment every day before i wrap this video
161
firstly thank you so much for staying
162
so long over here i want you to understand one thing confident people are not born
163
or the ones you see they're very confident they're not born
164
confident they actually train themselves to be confident next time do not tell yourself how do i
165
or ask yourself how do i become confident rather give enough experiences to your brain than excuses
166
that it believes that you are dangerously confident thank you so much everybody for watching i'll see you in another video

Qu'est-ce que la technique du Shadowing ?
Le Shadowing est une technique d'apprentissage des langues fondée sur la science, développée à l'origine pour la formation des interprètes professionnels. Le principe est simple mais puissant : vous écoutez de l'anglais natif et le répétez immédiatement à voix haute — comme une ombre suivant le locuteur avec un décalage de 1 à 2 secondes. Les recherches montrent une amélioration significative de la précision de la prononciation, de l'intonation, du rythme, des liaisons, de la compréhension orale et de la fluidité.
