So when I think about confidence, I first ground myself in the definition.
0:04.17 0:08.71 (4.5s)
2
Confidence is just the reliance or assurance that we believe in someone's abilities or qualities.
0:08.76 0:16.35 (7.6s)
3
But how do we know someone's abilities or qualities?
0:16.39 0:18.89 (2.5s)
4
How does anyone believe in mine?
0:18.93 0:21.31 (2.4s)
5
It's simply through actions.
0:21.35 0:23.35 (2.0s)
6
So the best way to drive and build confidence, whether we’re looking to hone it or build a reputation for it or encourage people to have it in us, is to drive action.
0:23.39 0:34.16 (10.8s)
7
Interestingly, many people think you need a lot of confidence to take bold action.
0:34.16 0:38.87 (4.7s)
8
I think the opposite is true.
0:38.87 0:40.75 (1.9s)
9
It’s action. Just getting comfortable with it over time.
0:40.74 0:43.87 (3.1s)
10
Doing more and better regularly.
0:43.91 0:46.08 (2.2s)
11
It's reps of action that drive confidence.
0:46.13 0:49.63 (3.5s)
12
And that action, and that confidence is what allows us to learn and grow.
0:49.67 0:53.38 (3.7s)
13
I'm someone who wants to continue to learn and grow.
0:53.42 0:56.39 (3.0s)
14
No matter how old I get, how many successes or challenges, how long I've been in a role or company, I want to get better.
0:56.43 1:04.06 (7.6s)
15
And you’re here, so I know you do, too.
1:04.10 1:06.48 (2.4s)
16
So the question is, what techniques or practices can help us cut through the challenges that are in our way to acting our way to confidence and growth.
1:06.48 1:15.36 (8.9s)
17
Many people believe some of the best actions are when we show up in tough times, and that's true.
1:15.36 1:19.99 (4.6s)
18
But it's almost easier to take bold action when things are hard.
1:19.99 1:23.04 (3.0s)
19
There aren't a lot of options.
1:23.04 1:24.79 (1.8s)
20
The more special muscle is the ability to coach ourselves to be greater, to do more, to be better, even when times are pretty good, and to recognize that complacency is a very real thing, and we are all blinded by our own progress.
1:24.83 1:39.89 (15.1s)
21
So one of the tools in my toolbox to drive action and confidence and growth is the ability to cut through that complacency.
1:39.93 1:47.39 (7.5s)
22
And I first learned this lesson from my mom.
1:47.44 1:51.11 (3.7s)
23
When I was nine years old, my mom came to me and said, "That's it, I'm done. We're leaving." And what she meant was we were leaving my father.
1:51.11 1:57.91 (6.8s)
24
My father was and is a very good man.
1:57.91 2:01.62 (3.7s)
25
But at the time, he was an alcoholic and a terrible husband and father.
2:01.62 2:05.66 (4.0s)
26
So when my mom came to me at the age of nine, I didn’t cry, and I didn’t get upset.
2:05.66 2:11.63 (6.0s)
27
I remember thinking, "What took you so long?
2:11.67 2:14.88 (3.2s)
28
Finally, it's about time." So often there are people around us just waiting on us to take the action, to do the thing, to do the right thing.
2:14.92 2:25.22 (10.3s)
29
And since then, I've been inspired to have practices that drive action over and over.
2:25.27 2:30.73 (5.5s)
30
Little ones every day, or bigger ones, like what my mom did that day.
2:30.73 2:35.48 (4.8s)
31
We did leave my dad.
2:35.49 2:36.78 (1.3s)
32
My mom fed us on a meager food budget, worked multiple jobs for many years, and over the course of my young life, I got to see her day-to-day example.
2:36.78 2:45.12 (8.3s)
33
Someone without resources, without a playbook.
2:45.12 2:47.66 (2.5s)
34
She had no coach. She had no one to mentor her through this experience.
2:47.71 2:52.42 (4.7s)
35
She just acted her way to growth and improvement over time.
2:52.46 2:56.80 (4.3s)
36
As a result of this childhood, I started working at a very young age.
2:56.84 3:00.09 (3.3s)
37
At 15, I worked in malls.
3:00.13 3:01.51 (1.4s)
38
At 17, I was a restaurant hostess, at 18, a waitress.
3:01.55 3:04.56 (3.0s)
39
At 19, I began my leadership journey, opening franchises around the world.
3:04.60 3:09.10 (4.5s)
40
By the age of 26, I was an executive in a very large company.
3:09.14 3:14.02 (4.9s)
41
And while I had fantastic supervisors and managers who helped me through my career, I lacked some of that outside-in perspective.
3:14.02 3:23.45 (9.4s)
42
The mentoring, the things that could help stretch me beyond my day-to-day job.
3:23.45 3:28.00 (4.5s)
43
So I started developing some self-coaching practices.
3:28.00 3:31.62 (3.6s)
44
And one day I heard from a restaurant consultant that you should sometimes imagine someone else in your role to help motivate you to take action.
3:31.67 3:40.26 (8.6s)
45
So I started doing that, and it helped.
3:40.30 3:42.30 (2.0s)
46
So I started thinking about people I admired, someone specific, and there was something about thinking of someone I admired that brought this element of additional capabilities and excellence.
3:42.34 3:53.48 (11.1s)
47
It also made me feel a little accountable to act on whatever came to mind.
3:53.48 3:58.40 (4.9s)
48
And these practices evolved into today what is the “hot shot rule.” The hot shot rule is simply this.
3:58.40 4:05.66 (7.3s)
49
It is the act of regularly thinking about my role, everything I have, the challenges, the opportunities, envisioning someone I admire in my role, asking myself what's one thing that person I admire would do differently to make that situation better, acting on it within 24 hours, and then -- that's not the last step -- telling those involved once things get put in motion.
4:05.66 4:30.02 (24.4s)
50
I say something like, "Hey, I could have or should have done this thing, but I didn't.
4:30.06 4:34.39 (4.3s)
51
And now we are..." And so let's practice it.
4:34.39 4:37.61 (3.2s)
52
So I think first of my role as a mother.
4:37.61 4:42.74 (5.1s)
53
I think of how I can be a better mom.
4:42.74 4:44.61 (1.9s)
54
I think of my role as daughter.
4:44.61 4:46.32 (1.7s)
55
I think of how I can be a better daughter, and I envision someone I admire.
4:46.32 4:49.91 (3.6s)
56
But often, and we're here to talk about work, I think about my professional role.
4:49.91 4:53.79 (3.9s)
57
So I think about my role as CEO of AG1.
4:53.83 4:57.00 (3.2s)
58
I have this incredible opportunity to be the leader of a phenomenal, foundational nutrition company with millions of customers who rely on us to empower their health journeys, and so many team members who rely on me to be my best.
4:57.04 5:10.35 (13.3s)
59
Our customers and my team deserve for me to be the best over time.
5:10.39 5:13.52 (3.1s)
60
Not comfortable because we've had multiple years of success, but always starting with that day one energy.
5:13.56 5:19.44 (5.9s)
61
Then I envision someone I admire.
5:19.44 5:21.44 (2.0s)
62
So I just met all of you, I think of you.
5:21.44 5:24.86 (3.4s)
63
Now I envision you in my seat tomorrow.
5:24.86 5:27.45 (2.6s)
64
I’m gone, and I’m just watching you in my role.
5:27.45 5:30.08 (2.6s)
65
And I ask, what's one thing and the first thing you would do differently to make the business better?
5:30.08 5:34.83 (4.8s)
66
And something comes to mind, something actionable.
5:34.87 5:37.38 (2.5s)
67
I take action on it within 24 hours, and then once it's in motion, I tell my team.
5:37.42 5:42.42 (5.0s)
68
Practicing the hot shot rule over time has led to things like flying to meet a business partner to hold them accountable when I had made excuses for them.
5:42.46 5:50.39 (7.9s)
69
Or calling someone to apologize or acknowledge a situation I could have handled better or differently.
5:50.43 5:56.10 (5.7s)
70
It's led to me thinking about someone who has recently lost a parent or a loved one and envisioning them in my role.
5:56.14 6:04.03 (7.9s)
71
And it’s led to me just picking up the phone and calling my mom, and saying, “I love you, and how are you?” It's led to me saying "thank you" to my husband for being a great partner.
6:04.03 6:12.95 (8.9s)
72
It's also led to me stopping initiatives in the company that I was allowing to perpetuate because things were just comfortable, but they were no longer serving the business.
6:12.95 6:22.46 (9.5s)
73
So that’s what the hot shot rule is.
6:22.50 6:24.38 (1.9s)
74
And you can use it as a technique in a time of need anytime.
6:24.42 6:27.88 (3.5s)
75
But its power lies in it being a regular, proactive practice.
6:27.93 6:32.18 (4.3s)
76
It used to be quarterly and then monthly, but now I practice it weekly.
6:32.22 6:35.73 (3.5s)
77
Every Sunday at 1pm, when my kids, now five and seven, used to have naps -- RIP naps -- (Laughter) I take just a minute for myself.
6:35.77 6:45.78 (10.0s)
78
I envision my role, I envision someone I admire.
6:45.78 6:48.82 (3.0s)
79
I ask myself, what's one thing they would do differently in my role.
6:48.82 6:52.08 (3.3s)
80
The answer comes to mind.
6:52.07 6:53.41 (1.3s)
81
I send the email, I schedule the flight, I put it in motion, and then once it's in motion, I tell my team.
6:53.41 6:58.79 (5.4s)
82
And over a year of practicing this weekly, a few things will happen.
6:58.83 7:02.04 (3.2s)
83
One, there are 52 things you've done that you otherwise might not have done or done as quickly.
7:02.08 7:06.97 (4.9s)
84
It builds a reputation of vulnerability and bias for action.
7:07.01 7:09.84 (2.8s)
85
My team brings things to me now because they know I'm constantly calling myself out.
7:09.88 7:14.76 (4.9s)
86
This practice has changed my life, and I believe it will change yours if you apply it.
7:14.81 7:20.10 (5.3s)
87
The idea of having a practice of reflection, intention and action to drive growth, to show up and do something we otherwise wouldn’t have, to break through complacency or past patterns is a superpower.
7:20.14 7:33.37 (13.2s)
88
So be like my mom.
7:33.37 7:35.20 (1.8s)
89
Don't let patterns of the past get in the way of doing something different tomorrow.
7:35.20 7:39.20 (4.0s)
90
Ask questions that help motivate action.
7:39.25 7:42.00 (2.8s)
91
And act your way into growth and confidence.
7:42.04 7:45.21 (3.2s)
92
Thank you. (Applause)
7:45.25 7:48.55 (3.3s)

語学学習者にとっては、英語スピーキング練習の優れた教材となります。特に、自身の経験や意見を構造的に語るスキル、抽象的な概念(自信、リーダーシップ、成長)を具体的な例で説明する能力を養うのに最適です。語彙面では、自己啓発、ビジネス、キャリアに関連する表現が豊富に含まれており、英語の流暢さを高めるための語彙力強化に役立ちます。また、過去の出来事を語る際の時制や、原因と結果を示す接続詞など、実践的な文法パターンも自然に学ぶことができます。

重要な語彙とフレーズ

  • ground myself in the definition: (定義に)立ち返る、基本に立ち返る。

    例:When I feel lost, I always ground myself in the definition of my goals.

  • hone it: (スキルや能力などを)磨き上げる、洗練させる。

    例:She works hard to hone her public speaking skills.

  • reps of action: 行動の繰り返し、反復。

    例:Consistent reps of action are essential for building new habits.

  • cut through the challenges: 課題を乗り越える、困難を突破する。

    例:Leadership is about helping your team cut through the challenges.

  • complacency is a very real thing: 現状維持は非常に現実的な問題である、現状に満足してしまうことは現実的に起こり得る。

    例:We must remember that complacency is a very real thing, even after success.

  • blinded by our own progress: 自身の進歩によって盲目になる、現状に満足してしまい、さらに向上する機会を見逃す。

  • outside-in perspective: 外からの視点、客観的な視点。

    例:Getting an outside-in perspective can provide valuable insights.

この動画の練習のコツ

この動画は、シャドーイング発音練習に非常に適しています。Kat Cole氏は明瞭なアメリカ英語で、比較的高めの話速でプレゼンを行います。このスピードについていく練習は、英語の流暢さ向上に直結します。

具体的な練習のコツとしては、以下の点に注目してください。

  • 話速とリズム: 彼女の話すテンポは速めですが、単語一つ一つがはっきりしています。まずは聞き取りに集中し、徐々に彼女のリズムとイントネーションを模倣するように心がけましょう。「行動が自信を育む」という主要メッセージの部分を重点的に繰り返し練習すると良いでしょう。
  • アクセントと強勢: 重要な単語やフレーズに置かれる強勢(ストレス)を意識的に真似ることで、より自然な英語の発音に近づけます。特に、感情を込めて話す箇所や、ストーリーの転換点での声のトーンの変化に注目しましょう。
  • トピックの応用: リーダーシップや自己成長といった抽象的なトピックは、IELTS対策のスピーキングセクションや、ビジネス英語のディスカッションで役立ちます。動画で紹介されている「ホットショット・ルール」の考え方を参考に、自分自身の英語学習やキャリアについて語る練習をしてみましょう。例えば、「もし憧れの英語話者が私の立場だったら、どのような学習法を選ぶだろうか?」といった問いかけを自らに行い、それを英語で表現してみてください。
  • 説得力のある話し方: Kat Cole氏は、自身の個人的な経験を交えながら、非常に説得力のある語り口をします。彼女の間の取り方や、聴衆に語りかけるような表現を真似ることで、英語スピーキング練習の質を格段に高めることができます。

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。

ShadowingEnglishでの効果的な学習方法

  1. 動画を選ぶ: 自然で明瞭な英語が使われているYouTube動画を選びましょう。TED Talks、BBC News、映画のシーン、ポッドキャスト、IELTS模範解答などが最適です。URLをコピーして検索バーに貼り付けてください。短い動画(5分以内)や、自分が本当に興味を持てるテーマから始めるのがコツです。
  2. まず聞いて内容を理解する: 最初は1倍速でただ聞くだけにしましょう。まだ繰り返す必要はありません。文の意味を理解し、話者がどのように単語を強調し、音を繋げ、間を取っているかに注目してください。内容を把握してからシャドーイングに入ると、はるかに効果的です。
  3. シャドーイングモードを設定する:
    • Wait Mode(待機モード): +3s または +5s を選ぶと、動画が一文を読み終えた後に自動で一時停止し、繰り返す時間が生まれます。完全に手動でコントロールしたい場合は Manual を選んでNextを自分で押しましょう。
    • Sub Sync(字幕同期): YouTubeの字幕と音声がずれることがあります。±100ms で調整して、正確なタイミングで追えるようにしてください。
  4. 声に出してシャドーイングする(最重要): ここが練習の本質です。文が流れると同時に——または一時停止中に——はっきりと自信を持って声に出して繰り返しましょう。ただ単語を読むだけでなく、話者のリズム、強調、高低、連音をそっくりそのまま真似することが大切です。「影」のように話者に重なるのが理想。Repeat機能を使って同じ文を何度も繰り返し、自然に出てくるまで定着させましょう。
  5. 徐々に難易度を上げて続ける: 一つのパッセージに慣れたら、さらに挑戦してみましょう。速度を <code>1.25x</code> や <code>1.5x</code> に上げれば、高速の言語反射を鍛えられます。Wait Modeを <code>Off</code> にして連続シャドーイングするのが最も上級で効果的なモードです。毎日15〜30分継続すれば、数週間で目に見える変化を実感できます。
