Many non-native English speakers struggle to sound natural and strong in leadership conversations.

By the end of this video, you'll know the exact expressions that top executives use and how to use them with confidence.
4
For those of you that don't know me, I'm Grant and this is exactly what I do every day.
5
I am a Business English Confidence Coach for CEOs and what I try to do is share this information with you.
6
I talk about this topic and all of these expressions with all of my clients, I understand this.
7
This is not just some video of some guy making a conversation topic about CEOs.
8
This is what I do.
9
And I help people doing this all the time.
10
So, this is a really great and genuine video on how to really sound like a CEO.
11
So, let me go through this with you.
12
CEOs, they don't just speak - they influence.
13
Their words inspire action, build trust, and show the ability to make decisions.
14
This is NOT about using big words - it's about speaking clearly, confidently and accurately.
15
Here are 10 Essential CEO Phrases and How to Use Them.
16
1. "Let's circle back on that." Now, you'd use this when you're postponing a decision or discussion in a professional way.
17
Here's an example sentence: "Great points - let's circle back on this after we have all the latest data." 2. "What's the key takeaway?" Now, you'd use this when you're cutting through unnecessary details and getting to the main point.
18
Here's an example of using it: "We're short on time - what's the key takeaway from your report?" Really nice!
19
3. "Let's double down on what's working." And you would say this when you're reinforcing successful strategies and maintaining momentum.
20
Things are going well.
21
Let's do twice as much of it.
22
Here's an example sentence how you can use this like a CEO: "This campaign is exceeding expectations - let's double down and scale it." Powerful!
23
4. "I want us to be proactive, not reactive." And a CEO would say this when they're encouraging forward-thinking and strategic planning.
24
Here's an example sentence that you could use: "Instead of waiting for problems to arise, let's be proactive with customer feedback." Beautiful!
25
5. "This needs to be a top priority." You'd say something like this when you're setting really clear expectations and there's a lot of urgency, something has to be done right away.
26
Here's an example: "Improving client retention is our biggest challenge - this needs to be a top priority." That makes you sound like a CEO.
27
6. "Let's table this for now." This is a great phrase and as a leader, what you're trying to do here is use this in a strong but diplomatic way to put off an idea without killing it completely.
28
Take a pause.
29
Here's an example sentence of using this: "This is a great idea, but with limited resources, let's table it for now." That will make you sound like a leader.
30
7. "What's the opportunity cost?" Now, this is a great question the CEO is going to ask and what it really means is that this is a high-level way of trying to evaluate the trade-offs and making executive decisions.
31
An opportunity cost is what would this cost if we didn't do it and think about it that way.
32
So, here's an example sentence: "If we invest in this project, what's the opportunity cost for our main initiatives?" 8. "We need to align on this." Many of my CEOs have alignment meetings and this is real.
33
So, you'd use this for making sure everyone is on the same page before moving forward.
34
Here's an example sentence: "Before we go live, we need to align on the final details." 9. "I trust you to take the lead on this." A CEO would use this when they're delegating powerfully and motivating a person or a team.
35
An example could be: "You've got this - I trust you to take the lead and make it happen." That is speaking like a CEO.
36
And finally, 10. "We need to be agile and adapt." Now, this can be used when you're handling some type of uncertainty and handling it well, like a leader.
37
Here's an example sentence: "The market is shifting - we need to be agile and adapt quickly." So, we need to be flexible and change quickly when there's lots of things going on.
38
But it sounds beautiful.
39
Now, with all of these expressions, you got to remember that how you deliver them really matters.
40
It's not just about the words - it's how you say them.
41
You have to speak calmly, slowly, and with intention.
42
Use strategic pauses for emphasis.
43
It really matters.
44
The most important thing we're going to do today is "pause, pause, pause." Then everybody's listening.
45
Works really well.
46
And finally, you need to get rid of all your filler words.
47
You can't be a great CEO and say something as, "Um"... "ah"... "ah"... Let's... "ah"... table on... "ah"... this... "ah"... for now." There's nothing there.
48
You got to get rid of your filler words, your "um's" and your "ah's" if you want to sound that you're the leader.
49
You have confidence that you're speaking clearly.
50
Get rid of your filler words.
51
I'll ask you, which of these expressions do you already use?
52
Or maybe if you don't use them, which one would you like to use?
53
Give one a try.
54
See what happens.
55
Speak like a CEO.
56
Have some power and feeling in your voice.
57
Enjoy!

맥락 및 배경

오늘날 비즈니스 환경에서 CEO와 같은 강력한 리더십을 발휘하는 것이 중요합니다. 많은 비영어권 사용자들이 리더십 대화에서 자연스럽고 강하게 들리는 데 어려움을 겪고 있습니다. 이 비디오에서는 뛰어난 CEO들이 사용하는 표현들을 배울 수 있으며, 그 애쓰는 과정에서 자신감을 높일 방법을 알려드립니다. 이러한 표현들은 단순히 큰 단어를 사용하는 것이 아니라, 명확하고 자신감 있게 말하는 데에 중점을 두고 있습니다.

일상 커뮤니케이션을 위한 상위 5개 표현

  • "Let's circle back on that." - 결정이나 논의를 연기할 때 사용할 수 있는 표현입니다. 예: "좋은 점이 많습니다. 최신 데이터를 확보한 후, 다시 논의해 봅시다."
  • "What's the key takeaway?" - 불필요한 세부 묘사를 건너뛰고 핵심을 짚을 때 사용하는 표현입니다. 예: "시간이 부족하니, 보고서의 핵심 포인트는 무엇인가요?"
  • "Let's double down on what's working." - 성공적인 전략을 강화하고 추진력을 유지할 때 적합한 표현입니다. 예: "이 캠페인은 기대를 초과 달성하고 있습니다. 더 확대해 나가요."
  • "We need to align on this." - 진행 전에 모든 사람이 같은 방향으로 나아가고 있음을 확인할 때 사용하는 표현입니다. 예: "라이브 전에 최종 세부 사항을 조정해야 합니다."
  • "I trust you to take the lead on this." - 권한을 위임하고 팀이나 개인을 격려할 때 이상적인 표현입니다. 예: "당신이 잘 해낼 거라고 믿습니다. 이 일을 이끌어 주세요."

단계별 쉐도잉 가이드

이 비디오를 통해 더 효과적으로 배울 수 있는 방법은 쉐도잉 기술을 사용하는 것입니다. 쉐도잉은 원어민의 말을 따라하면서 발음과 억양을 개선하는 학습 방법입니다. 아래 단계를 따라해 보세요:

  1. 비디오를 처음부터 끝까지 시청합니다. 이 과정에서 표현의 맥락과 사용법을 이해하십시오.
  2. 각 표현을 들을 때, 그에 맞는 억양과 발음을 집중해서 들어보세요.
  3. 비디오를 일시 정지하고 각 표현을 반복해 보세요. 이때 자신감을 가지고 말하는 것이 중요합니다. 'shadowspeak'를 활용해 보세요.
  4. 쉐도잉 연습 후, 친구나 스터디 그룹과 함께 사용할 표현들을 정리해 보세요. 이를 통해 'shadow speech'를 연습할 수 있습니다.
  5. 마지막으로, 불필요한 filler words (예: "음", "그것은")는 제거하고, 명확하게 말하는 연습을 하세요.

이러한 쉐도잉 연습을 통해 당신의 영어 스피킹 수준은 크게 향상될 것입니다. 'IELTS 스피킹' 연습에 이 표현들을 활용해보세요. 유튜브 영어 공부를 통해 CEO처럼 자신감 있는 대화자가 되어보세요!

쉐도잉이란? 영어 실력을 빠르게 키우는 과학적 방법

쉐도잉(Shadowing)은 원래 전문 통역사 훈련을 위해 개발된 언어 학습 기법으로, 다언어 학자인 Dr. Alexander Arguelles에 의해 대중화된 방법입니다. 핵심 원리는 간단하지만 매우 강력합니다: 원어민의 영어를 들으면서 1~2초의 짧은 지연으로 즉시 소리 내어 따라 말하는 것——마치 '그림자(shadow)'처럼 화자를 따라가는 것입니다. 문법 공부나 수동적인 청취와 달리, 쉐도잉은 뇌와 입 근육이 동시에 실시간으로 영어를 처리하고 재현하도록 훈련합니다. 연구에 따르면 이 방법은 발음 정확도, 억양, 리듬, 연음, 청취력, 말하기 유창성을 크게 향상시킵니다. IELTS 스피킹 준비와 자연스러운 영어 소통을 원하는 분들에게 특히 효과적입니다.
