This is you.

You have all the knowledge in your mind.

Now you are presenting to people who in your mind,

in your mind, they are senior and they potentially have more knowledge than you

and they have some sort of authority or leverage over you.

What do I mean?

If you do a bad job, if you give a bad explanation, you are going to embarrass yourself in front of them.

They will think you're not that smart.

They will not trust you as much anymore.

They decide your career, whether you get promoted, whether you get a pay raise.

So you have a lot hanging in the air.

So in your mind, what you start to do is you start to question yourself.

why do you do this you're thinking I know my stuff

but these people are more senior than me what

if they know something that I don't know what

if I think I know the right answer but

when I say it it's actually not the right answer

and I'm going to make a fool of myself

so now in your mind what you're doing is you're trying to manage risk

if I say something will I say the right thing

Will they find out that it's not actually the right thing?

What if I think this is the right thing, but it's not?

So you're trying to, you're looking for some sort of safety in this situation.

So you're scared.

I think I know my stuff, but if I say it out loud, they don't like me.

All of a sudden, they think I'm stupid and I might lose status.

This fear of being wrong, this fear of people will find out that I don't actually know, it holds you back.

So then you have the words, but all of a sudden when they come out, you start hedging the words like,

yeah, so maybe we could try this.

Like I had a little bit of a look on this thing and maybe, you know, one of the things we could try.

Notice the language tends to soften.

What I'm doing is I'm not committing to my words.

So instead of saying, I've looked at the data.

This is what we should do.

This is me committing.

I have looked at the data.

This is what I think we should do.

I have high conviction in what I'm saying.

But if I had the same knowledge, but I'm afraid I might be wrong, then the words come out differently.

Yeah, so maybe this is one thing we could consider.

Of course, if you have other plans, that's okay.

So I look into the data, and I'm thinking, what if we try to do it like this?

Can you see the difference?

So what am I trying to do?

I'm trying to soften the impact of what I'm saying.

Because if I don't, if I'm not committing to what I'm saying too much, then you might not think I'm stupid.

You might think, oh, well, it was just an idea Yasser was sharing.

He wasn't going all in on it.

So even if he's wrong, whatever, it's okay.

But if you go all in on the idea, all in on the thought, you say something with high conviction, and you tend to be wrong,

then people will think, well, this was a terrible idea that Yasser came up with.

We can't trust him for anything ever again.

So that's why people don't commit when they speak.

And when they don't commit, they hold back, they shrivel, and it doesn't come out with certainty, okay?

So this is my first theory, that you are speaking to superiors, and you keep second -guessing that whatever you're saying might not be right,

or these people are the judge of the information.

They know better than me, so I just need to give enough information to appease them.

Like, is this right?

Is this right?

Am I saying this the right way?

You're trying to put out a fire before you even know there's a fire.

A lot of us do this.

When we go into a job interview, we're very defensive.

When you go into a pitch, we're very defensive.

So two things you can do about this.

One is realize some things you know about more than the other people.

They want you to speak because they weren't there.

So if you were a project manager, you were leading a project, they want to know, hey, what's happening with this project?

They have no knowledge of it.

So they're relying on you.

So take that as a privilege that, hey, they're asking for my opinion.

I want to share that with them.

Number two is you want to ask yourself, why does your mind believe that there is a risk in you opening your mouth?

Now, this might very well be the case

because maybe your boss is the type of person who you open your mouth

and all of a sudden you say something to them and they don't like it and they publicly berate you.

Now you're afraid of embarrassment so you don't open your mouth anymore.

Maybe there's no psychological safety built in there.

So maybe there's a real consequence of opening your mouth.

For a lot of people, what also happens is this, talking to superiors, there's something called authority anxiety,

which is you have an anxiety of people who are superior than you in the social hierarchy.

So this could be your parents, this could be your teacher, this could be your boss.

You're just afraid of disappointing people who have higher authority because if they don't like you,

it might affect your place in society and you might not have a job, you might get fired, you might get embarrassed, right?

For a lot of people, this develops early in their childhood.

early in their childhood.

So maybe your parents were, hey, do this, or I'm not going to love you,

or get good grades, or you're not going to get my approval, whatever it might be.

So now, as a kid, we have learned, I must bow down to my parents.

I know for me, in my culture, your parents can never be wrong.

Even if they are wrong, you cannot say it because it's you speaking up to authority.

So your parents are always right.

Your teachers are always right.

Your boss is always right.

Whoever's the eldest, most superior, they're always right.

What does this train you to do?

It trains you to always appease to superiors.

So now whenever I'm opening my mouth, I'm second guessing it all the time.

So superiors, ask yourself why this is happening.

100

Why is it that you feel all frozen up and your conviction goes out the window, even though you know your material?

101

And that's one reason.

102

The second reason could be a more technical reason.

103

This could be, maybe you have no fear of superiors.

104

Maybe you have no issue around authority.

105

Maybe it's the tone with which you say it.

106

Maybe it's the tone with which you say it.

107

It's simply, you just don't know what certainty sounds like.

108

So, for example, if I said,

109

I am wearing a black shirt today.

110

let's say this is what i'm this is a sentence

111

that i want to say

112

if i were to say it with 100 conviction how would i say as

113

if i know for a fact

114

that my shirt is black i would say

115

i am wearing a black shirt today did you sense any hesitation in my voice did you sense

116

that i'm trying to appease you in any way did you sense that i'm scared about my opinion hopefully not

117

I'm wearing a black shirt today.

118

But what if I said, I'm wearing a black shirt today.

119

I am wearing a black shirt today.

120

Almost sounds like a question and I'm telling you something.

121

So you can tell me if I said it right and I can say all the right things.

122

But if I say it like this,

123

then it sounds like I'm asking a question and I'm not sure myself and I want you to tell me.

124

So can you see how the tone affects how much conviction you speak with?

125

So number one, superiors.

126

Number two, your tone.

127

Do you sound like you believe in what you're saying?

128

And number three, I'm just going to leave this last one in there.

129

Your face.

130

Now, you might think, what do you mean, Yasser?

131

You want me to get plastic surgery just so I can have more conviction?

132

Maybe.

133

I don't know.

134

No, don't do that.

135

Your face, the face that you make can affect how much conviction you speak with.

136

So for example, if I were to say, let's say the same phrase.

137

If I were to say, I'm wearing a black shirt.

138

If I just make my face, I give myself a giant grin before I speak like this.

139

I look like a psychopath, but go with me.

140

You're like this.

141

And then I say, I am wearing a black shirt.

142

Notice how the words just came out with high energy, with high excitement.

143

If I look like this, I'm wearing a black shirt.

144

Notice how I didn't purposely try to lower my volume.

145

It just followed my face.

146

Whatever my face did, my volume and my body followed.

147

So for a lot of people, when they speak with conviction, if someone's asked, if they're asked a question,

148

hey, tell me about this presentation or tell me about this project,

149

And immediately, yeah, so they lead with the face so the other person can just read their face right away.

150

All the conviction goes out the window.

151

So one of the first things you want to do if you want to speak with high conviction is, this is very strange, don't move.

152

Especially in a job interview, right?

153

When you're asked a question, some people have this deer in headlights look where it looks like they were just shocked by the question.

154

So I'm in a job interview and I'm just sitting and the interview asks, so why should we hire you opposed to the other five candidates?

155

Well, you know, there's many reasons that you should, can you just see it on my face?

156

How am I going to speak with conviction when I'm making that face?

157

So the first thing you do is, why should we hire you?

158

That's a good question.

159

There are three reasons that I believe that I can do X, Y, Z.

160

Notice how slow and controlled the movement is.

161

I'm not frazzled by your question.

162

So these are three things that you can look into that will affect the conviction with which you speak,

163

your relationship with superiors and people of authority, the tone with which you speak, and the face you make when you're speaking.

164

Aditya hope that answered your question.

165

If you're in a leadership role and you struggle to speak up in meetings and presentations and be perceived as a leader, this is for you.

166

Now, there's only so much you can learn watching a video, but if you are serious about transforming the way you speak,

167

you should consider my online speaking classes.

168

My team and I have coached more than 30 ,000 people at companies like JP Morgan, NASA, Google, Apple, you name it,

169

and we help them speak with a confidence, clarity, and credibility of a CEO.

170

Now, whether you struggle with rambling when you're speaking on the spot, or you freeze in front of a room,

171

or you feel like you sound boring and people stop listening to you, these classes can transform the way you speak.

172

Because knowing is not the same as doing.

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。
