1
You are one of the smartest women in every room you walk into.
2
You know it.
3
The people around you know it.
4
And yet somehow there's always that woman.
5
The moment she walks in, the energy shifts.
6
People lean in, opportunities find her, conversations bend in her direction.
7
And you've watched it happen enough times to know that whatever she has, It isn't on some resume.
8
And I know you.
9
You've spent so much time building your career, getting hotter, smarter, richer, becoming someone who's truly undeniable and impressive on paper.
10
But no one ever taught you the other game that runs underneath every room you've ever walked into.
11
That ends today.
12
Hello my muses!
13
Welcome back to my channel where women who want everything learn to have their cake and eat it too.
14
I'm your host Nadine and I'm rebuilding the village woman once had
15
so we can have the right conversations and create lives that feel as good as it looks.
16
Please subscribe if you're new so you don't miss any of our chats.
17
Here's what I've come to understand about truly socially intelligent women
18
they are playing a completely different game than everyone else in the room.
19
They understand power, they understand people, and they understand how to position themselves without ever looking like they're trying.
20
I think of it as social chess, and it is one of the most under leveraged skills an intelligent woman can develop for her career and for every relationship,
21
every room, every version of the life she's trying to build.
22
And the great thing about it is you can absolutely learn it.
23
It's one of those things where once you see it, you can't unsee it.
24
So here are five things you need to master to be the social chess grandmaster.
25
As always, we don't gatekeep, so let's step into it.
26
First, every room has a power map, so learn to read it within 60 seconds.
27
Most people walk into a room
28
and immediately start performing a version of themselves they think they need to be in that room.
29
They're thinking about how they're coming across, what to say, who to approach.
30
And because all of their attention is pointed outward at themselves, they completely miss what's actually happening in the room.
31
The first move in social chess is to flip that entirely.
32
You walk in and instead of asking, how's my hair?
33
How do I look?
34
You ask, what is actually going on here?
35
Every room, dinner party, work meeting, social gathering has what I call a power map.
36
Anchor.
37
This is the person the room is emotionally organized around.
38
This is the person whose mood sets the tone.
39
Pay attention to where people's eyes go to when something funny happens, who they turn to look at to watch their reaction.
40
That's the anchor.
41
That's the person whose social approval the people in the room wants.
42
The second is the connector.
43
This is the person who knows everyone and is actively introducing people and initiating conversations and getting people together.
44
They are almost always the most genuinely liked person in the room and the most trusted.
45
If you want to integrate into a new social environment quickly, find the connector and treat that relationship with care.
46
The third is the observer.
47
This is the person who was saying the least, but watching everything that's happening carefully.
48
The observer is the most underestimated person there.
49
They are usually the most valuable to have on your side because they have seen everything and said nothing,
50
which means they know things nobody else knows that they know.
51
So here's the move.
52
In any new room you step into, spend the first five minutes identifying these three people before you engage deeply with anyone.
53
It takes practice.
54
It's not comfortable at first.
55
It pushes you to get out of your comfort zone.
56
But once you can do it, you will never walk into a room not knowing how to position yourself again.
57
Second, learn to actually read people past their personalities.
58
We live in an era obsessed with personality frameworks, Myers -Briggs, Engrams, attachment styles, and look, I love them and I think they're so much fun,
59
but they only tell you about a person's general wiring, okay?
60
They don't tell you what that person needs right now, in this very moment, in this dynamic.
61
I've always found that people always tell on themselves, but not directly in what they say.
62
I like to pay attention what they brag about, what they complain about, or what they ask questions about.
63
What someone brags about shows their insecurity.
64
Really pay attention.
65
The person who is constantly talking about their title or their salary
66
or their connections is telling you that those things feel fragile to them and they need them validated.
67
But don't confuse this with people who are actually just genuinely excited to share positive news, okay?
68
That's different.
69
Now, what someone likes their values.
70
If someone is always frustrated that people don't listen to them, they deeply value being heard and understood.
71
If someone is always complaining that people are flaky, they value reliability and follow through.
72
Isn't that kind of interesting that you can tell?
73
And like when someone asks questions, pay attention to what they ask about because that shows their desires.
74
The questions people ask in conversations are windows into what they're actually thinking about, working through, or wanting for themselves.
75
Once you start listening at this level, conversations become very interesting and provide a lot of information.
76
You start actually hearing people and when you can hear what someone actually needs,
77
saying, you become someone they feel very comfortable around and trust because you make them feel understood.
78
This is active, deep listening, and it helps build genuine connections and trust.
79
Third, stop trying to be interesting and become interested.
80
One of the most counterintuitive truths in social intelligence is
81
that the women who are the most magnetic in social situations are almost never the ones who are trying to be impressive.
82
They're the ones who are the most genuinely curious about the people in front of them.
83
When someone is clearly very accomplished or intelligent, people expect them to be somewhat self -centered.
84
When you, a smart, beautiful woman, turn the full beam of your attention onto the person you're speaking with
85
and asking them questions that really show you were listening, it is a little disarming because it's unexpected.
86
So it creates an instant bond.
87
Your intelligence is not your most powerful social asset.
88
Your curiosity is.
89
And here's a real life application.
90
Most people ask surface level questions and conversations.
91
What do you do?
92
Where are you from?
93
How do you but they're not memorable.
94
The woman playing social chess asks what I call second layer questions.
95
She takes whatever answer you just gave her and goes one level deeper.
96
You say you just got back from a work trip.
97
She doesn't say, oh, how was it?
98
She asks, what was the most unforgettable thing about it?
99
You say you're thinking about changing careers.
100
She doesn't say, oh, really?
101
Why?
102
Or to what?
103
She asks, what finally Second layer questions do something very important here.
104
It signals that you are actually listening to them and it invites the other person into a more interesting version of themselves, even if it's just for 10 minutes.
105
that woman for someone else, even for a moment, makes you unforgettable.
106
Fourth, understand the difference between social capital and social debt.
107
This is a framework I don't think gets talked about enough, and it completely changed how I think about every social interaction I have.
108
Every interaction you have with another person either deposits into
109
or withdraws from what I call your social capital account with that person.
110
account, the balance determines what's available to you when you need it.
111
Social capital deposits are small but consistent.
112
You remembered something that they said three months ago.
113
You sent them something that made you think of them.
114
You showed up and celebrated them even when it was inconvenient for you.
115
You defended their name in a room they weren't in.
116
You celebrated their wins without making it about you.
117
None of these are really grand gestures, but they are hallmarks of a good and also micro deposits you make that compound over time.
118
Social debt, on the other hand, is less obvious than most people think.
119
I mean, yeah, it can look straight up like selfishness,
120
but it usually looks like the friend who likes to process all of their thoughts out loud all the time, but never asks how you're doing.
121
Or it can look like the colleague who is warm
122
and charming when they want something from you and professionally distant the rest of the time.
123
can look like the person who shows up for the fun moments and disappears the moment things are difficult for you.
124
None of these people think of themselves as takers, but their social account is overdrawn and the people around them feel it even when they can't fully understand it.
125
If you are playing social chess, you need to understand that social debt compounds just like financial debt.
126
Small withdrawals that go unaddressed don't stay small.
127
They accumulate into this negative feeling And once people feel that way about you and they have that impression about you,
128
it is very hard to turn around.
129
I don't know about you girls, but there are some friends that I've dropped around my Saturn return dark night of the soul.
130
And it was mostly due to this selfishness or this lack of awareness.
131
And no matter how they try to explain themselves or whatever, you just have that impression of them and you can't really go back to how things work.
132
The framework is so useful because we're usually completely unaware about our social account balances.
133
why certain relationships feel transactional, why certain people seem kind of distant, why we don't get invited into certain rooms anymore.
134
And the answer is almost always that you have been overdrawing from an account.
135
Unless and less and less.
136
You meet an insecure girl The universe knows how much I have to say about that.
137
But I have a separate video in the works about insecure girls because ew, Anyways, the woman playing social chess is aware and mindful of this.
138
So she makes deposits before she needs to make withdrawals.
139
And she understands that the most valuable social capital you can build is the kind
140
that makes people feel like you're someone worth getting to know or being friends with.
141
The girlies around me who are great at doing this invest a lot of time
142
and energy into making plans and communicating and offering help where they can.
143
I don't know if there's even an Chinese,
144
there is a phrase called which pretty much means your fate or luck with people is just really good.
145
People like you, you're charismatic, people gravitate towards you naturally.
146
So make deposits before you make withdrawals.
147
The key to networking is thinking about what you can do for others before asking what they can do for you.
148
And the fifth and last one, master the energy of the room.
149
Now, here is something that took me honestly way too long to figure out and fully understand.
150
Communication is only partially verbal.
151
In fact, research suggests
152
that the feeling people walk away with from an interaction is largely determined by your energy than by what you actually said.
153
I'm sure you've heard of people say this.
154
It's not what you say, but it's how you say it,
155
feeling upset or uncomfortable, or you can say very little and leave people feeling completely at ease and in awe of you.
156
There's a concept I love called emotional contagion.
157
It's a scientifically documented phenomenon where we unconsciously absorb and mirror the emotional states of the people around us.
158
You walk into a room where two people just had an argument and even though nobody told you, you feel it.
159
You sit next to someone on the plane who is anxious and you start feeling
160
someone who is genuinely so positive and carefree that you leave feeling more inspired and excited about life.
161
And it's because we have what is called mirror neurons, cells in our brain that literally fire in response to the emotional states of others.
162
We are wired to catch each other's feelings, which is kind of cool, isn't it?
163
Like in some ways we're kind of telepathic.
164
So the social chess or social game implication of this is huge
165
because it means that the most powerful thing you bring into any room is not a talking point or a strategy.
166
It is a regulated, grounded, genuinely present, good energy.
167
When you are that woman, you become the emotional anchor of every room you walk into.
168
People feel better around you without knowing why.
169
They trust you faster.
170
They open up more easily.
171
They want to be near you.
172
And here's a little wisdom for my muses and may mays.
173
The energy
174
Your energy is the accumulated output of how you have been living pause rewind
175
that back okay your energy is the accumulated output of how
176
you have been living a woman who is genuinely at peace
177
with her choices who is building something she believes in who is not betraying herself in her relationships
178
or her work she walks into rooms feeling confident and expanded There's no performance because she has nothing to perform.
179
So the most magnetic version of you is the result of you actually living your best life.
180
And that is both the most inconvenient and the most liberating thing I can tell you.
181
So here's your homework for this week.
182
I want you to walk into one social situation, a work meeting, a dinner, a catch up with a friend.
183
It can be anything.
184
And I want you to practice one to two things from today
185
and then come back here and let me know in the comments how it went.
186
This is a challenge, okay?
187
Because I know it'll make you zone.
188
But just like any skill, social chess is built one move at a time.
189
That's all the cake I have for you today.
190
Thank you so much for watching until the end.
191
I appreciate it so much.
192
And if you enjoyed our little chat today, please like hype and leave a comment to share your thoughts and I'll see you in the next episode.

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。
