1
People that are supremely confident, when they enter the room, they feel comfortable in that room.
2
They don't hesitate to look around.
3
Their gestures are smooth, but they're very broad.
4
And that has to do with confidence.
5
And for a lot of people, this is very difficult.
6
I remember the great actress, Helen Mirren, saying, one of the most difficult things to learn as an actress is how to walk onto a scene.
7
I've thought about that even in my career, how early on the difficulty of mastering that, how do you walk onto a crime scene?
8
How do you walk into the public and demonstrate that I am confident and so forth?
9
We can all work a little bit on our nonverbal so we come across as more confident.
10
When we talk about confidence, it's so many things.
11
It has to do with our posture, the way we present, how we look.
12
Where's our chin?
13
Where are the eyes looking and gazing?
14
Our gestures are loose, but they're smoother.
15
As we walk about, we walk as though we are on a mission.
16
I'm walking out to shake your hand, or I'm walking out to a podium, or I'm walking to where I'm going to sit.
17
So the less confident we are, the less eye contact we make.
18
The less confident we are, the more reluctant we are to look about.
19
You know, when I look at someone I admire, like Colin Powell, when he walks onto a stage,
20
Even before he speaks, he has total command of the room, and he does that because he brings two things into this equation.
21
One is a tremendous amount of knowledge and experience.
22
Plus, he has shaped and defined himself into a statesman.
23
We've got to think of America as a family, where every member of the family cares about every other member of the family.
24
I think sometimes people mistake machismo or theatrical displays of power as confidence.
25
Confidence can be very quiet.
26
Jane Goodall hears this ethologist, very meek, very mild, and yet wherever she goes, she commands the room.
27
One of the things you notice is they sort of have this command of themselves, and in doing so, that command transmits outward.
28
The other thing that confident people realize is the temporal aspect of leadership.
29
If you're in charge, you're in charge of time.
30
I'm going to take my time to walk out.
31
I'm going to take my time to answer your question.
32
I will answer it in the pace, manner, and tone that I choose.
33
And in doing that, we are demonstrating that we are confident and in control.
34
Where do we get that confident voice?
35
Where do we get those confident gestures?
36
This is what's called socialization.
37
We notice the principal who acts this way.
38
We like this leader because of this or that trait.
39
So I try to model their behaviors and say this is a shortcut.
40
And if I have to work on my vocabulary, that's what high status people do.
41
If I have to change my gestures, to fit in in this society, and then that's what I'm going to have to do.
42
That doesn't mean it changes me completely.
43
It just means that this is what is required of me, and this is what I want to achieve at this moment in time.
44
I think of Cary Grant.
45
Here's an individual born in the UK, grew up very poor, and as he said in his biography, I became Cary Grant.
46
I adopted all the behaviors that I saw from high -status individuals.
47
Just think about that, but make up your mind.
48
And it is difficult to prescribe this, but one of the easiest things that we can do, you know, if you're a woman,
49
maybe you want to model yourself on the actress Cate Blanchett or some other actor and say,
50
you know, when they're being interviewed, how do they look?
51
They look so confident.
52
They look interesting.
53
They have such a command presence.
54
You know, we're not born this way.
55
These are things that we have to develop and say, how do I want to be perceived and what can I do to achieve that?
56
Are there better behaviors that you can do?
57
Here's a simple one.
58
How many of you, somebody says, where'd they go?
59
And you go like this.
60
And as it turns out, this is one of the most hated signs around the world.
61
And yet if we just go like this, he went that way.
62
were already perceived differently.
63
Little things.
64
I tell the story often of when I first came into law enforcement, they said, well, you know,
65
you've got to get out there and make some arrests.
66
And the first time I went out there and my voice just went really high, stop, you're under arrest.
67
That sounds horrible.
68
And you have to work at having that command presence where you say, stop right there, don't move.
69
That's almost theatrical.
70
Yeah, but it's what is needed.
71
So let's do this exercise.
72
I want you to say no. Just go ahead.
73
Say it out loud.
74
All right, now let's do it right.
75
Say it as I say it.
76
No. No. No. Do you see the difference between the way you said it and this way?
77
Did you notice that your voice kept getting deeper?
78
But did you also notice that the fingers became wider and wider?
79
The more confident you became, the wider your fingers were spreading.
80
There's a big difference between saying no, stop, and going no, stop.
81
This potentiates the message.
82
But to get to this, we actually have to practice it.
83
So let's do it again.
84
No. Now go out there and teach your children how to do that.
85
I love sometimes selfies in the mirror.
86
One of my pet peeves is what we hear every day with what's called up talk.
87
Up talk is where someone says something and then they end making it sound like a question mark.
88
So it sounds like this.
89
Four score and seven years ago.
90
Four score and seven years ago.
91
Our fathers brought forth on this continent, our fathers brought forth upon this continent, a new nation.
92
My company has done research on this and we've asked CEOs and we've asked executives and some will say,
93
well, you know, I've gotten used to it and so forth.
94
But when we ask them, does it really matter?
95
They also, yeah, we'd rather not see it.
96
I get pushback from people that say, well, you know, this is just the way that I speak.
97
and no doubt, but don't expect the same results.
98
We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard.
99
Because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills.
100
The cadence in our speech is extremely powerful for a couple of reasons.
101
One, we know that when people machine gun a statement, when they talk very fast,
102
we are less likely to listen to them over a long period of time.
103
But when we talk in cadence, we are sort of held still listening to what will come next.
104
And I'll give you an example from that great speech
105
Martin Luther King gave, as you notice with a cadence, I have a dream.
106
And then he pauses, that one day, and then he goes on.
107
And Churchill used the same thing.
108
Churchill's notes literally would create spaces for how long he would pause.
109
From Stettine in the Baltic to Trieste in the Adriatic, an iron curtain has descended across the continent.
110
These pauses make people listen.
111
And one of the things that we teach is if you want people to listen to you, use cadence to get their attention,
112
hold their attention, but then look forward to what that next set of words will be.
113
It lets them know at a subconscious level, this is the person in charge.
114
And we know that they're in charge because they have temporal control over this.
115
They're not in a hurry.
116
So, you know, a lot of times people say to me, well, does confidence look like, you know, chest out, shoulders back, chin up?
117
Yeah, that looks pretty good.
118
But, you know, a lot of times confidence is just sitting comfortably in a chair.
119
And that may have more to do with how much space you control.
120
It may have to do with the gestures that you use.
121
You probably notice that I use a lot of steepling.
122
I tend to interlace my fingers and so forth.
123
Thank you.
124
These are gestures that contribute to that communication that I'm trying to get across, that I am confident about what I'm talking about.
125
So it's not just about puffing your chest out, or certainly not about talking louder or anything.
126
It's about controlling my environment, but making sure that what I'm transmitting at all times is confidence.
127
And that means I'm prepared.
128
I'm ready to answer.
129
I'm going to answer you now.
130
I'm going to answer you effectively and I'm going to make sure that you understand what I said.
131
I'm here to convey.
132
I'm not here to convince.
133
A lot of times people who are lacking confidence are trying to convince you of something.
134
Hey, if I'm confident, I just say it once.
135
It's this way and that's it.
136
I convey the information rather than sit there and try to beat it into you by repeating it 10 different ways.
137
Compare the gestures I'm about to do.
138
It's about temporal movement, controlling time, so the person in charge has the time to look up at their own pace.
139
The gestures are smooth.
140
There's no hesitation.
141
There's no quick movements.
142
There's no jitteriness.
143
There doesn't have to be.
144
I'm in charge.
145
When I feel this confident, I feel like I have to be in a hurry,
146
that I've got to look up and I've got to answer right away
147
and there's a lot of preening behaviors and these are detracting from me.
148
I was really shy a few years ago.
149
Probably this is changing a little bit.
150
People are horrified to speak in public.
151
I used to be horrified to speak in public.
152
I still get nervous to speak in public.
153
But here's some tricks I found that you might find useful.
154
The first one is don't hesitate ever to say, you know what, this is scary.
155
Be honest with yourself.
156
This is unnatural.
157
Number two, take refuge in knowing that if I sit down and study this material, I will know it better than my audience.
158
The third thing I always do is I rehearse.
159
It really helps so that the first time you hear it in a forum, it doesn't scare you.
160
When it's time to do the presentation, one of the things I like to do is to warm up.
161
I find a good solid wall and I will just lean into it like I'm holding this wall up,
162
pressing against it just as if I were doing a push -up.
163
And one of the things that that does is it releases a lot of muscular tension.
164
And because I'm doing it very wide, it makes me feel more powerful and I need to walk on that stage as though it's mine.
165
With full confidence, it is only then that I look at my audience.
166
And then I just take a second to get myself together and to begin.
167
With practice, obviously you're going to get better and better and better.
168
Let's face it, people are not born confident.
169
They're just not.
170
We can become confident with the assistance of our parents who encourage us.
171
We can become confident through our own achievements.
172
We can become confident by going beyond our boundaries.
173
But confidence is something that we can grow, we can nurture.
174
I mean, I have seen people in wheelchairs that are supremely confident.
175
I have seen elderly people in their 90s who are very confident.
176
I've seen children who are holding a violin with such confidence.
177
If you want to be confident, know your material, know the information, hone that skill, work at it,
178
have that mastery of things and of self, and that's how you will come across as confident,
179
no matter what your station in life is.
180
Thank you.

シャドーイングとは?英語上達に効果的な理由

シャドーイング(Shadowing)は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的:ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影(shadow)」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
