Shadowing Practice: How To Make Anyone Respect You Instantly - Learn English Speaking with Video

I spent years swallowing disrespect until I realized that I was literally training people to walk all over me.

And now I'm the CEO of Acquisition.com.

I help thousands of business owners to grow because I stopped tolerating that bull and I started commanding respect through actions.

So if you're sick of being talked over, torn down, or treated like a joke, here are six tactics that will help teach people to respect you.

Number one is that respect starts with you.

Let's start with the biggest lie that you've ever been told.

Respect is earned from others.

You don't earn respect.

You set the standard for it and most people set the bar way too low.

Self-respect is built.

It is not begged for and chasing respect is actually the quickest way to lose it.

Every day people walk into rooms begging, pleading, being desperate to be respected.

Okay, maybe it's a boss because they undervalue you.

Maybe it's a partner that doesn't honor you and they respect you.

Or maybe it's a friend that just takes you for granted all the time.

But the truth is this, okay, you do not get respect by asking for it.

All these like tips and tricks videos teaching you how to get respect with like long stares and body language.

They are stupid and they're not reality.

The real foundation starts with the fact that you don't even respect yourself.

And so you get it by becoming the person who wouldn't tolerate that disrespect in the first place.

Because if you tolerate it with yourself, then you'll tolerate it from other people.

Respect isn't earned from other people.

It's actually maintained within ourselves.

And then other people catch on to the respect that we already have with ourselves.

So people respecting you is actually a lagging indicator of you respecting yourself, meaning the world catches up, but you're the one who has to go first, right?

And so you have to respect yourself before anybody else is going to.

And the fastest way to lose respect is to beg for validation from people who don't even respect themselves.

I had a woman that came to me, it was about four years ago, and we had a meeting, and I had 40% of my room was female executives, 60% was male executives.

And one of the female executives came to me, and she said, oh, you know, Larry doesn't respect me.

It's funny because the way that I actually saw the conversation go was that she has such little respect for herself.

She didn't advocate for herself in the room.

She didn't speak like somebody who respected herself.

And she taught other people in the room how to talk to her because of the way she showed up.

She didn't have certainty.

She didn't advocate for herself.

And she allowed people to speak over her.

So many times that we catch ourselves pointing to the other person.

And it's so often in the workplace, especially with women, we're saying, well, that person doesn't respect me.

It's like, well, have I actually learned how to respect myself?

Do I even know what self-respect looks like?

And I asked her that question.

I said, do you know what it looks like to respect yourself?

And she was like, I actually don't.

I really don't.

And it's a loop a lot of people get caught in.

Someone disrespects you.

It makes you feel small.

You know, you feel pissed off.

You feel frustrated.

You feel angry.

And then you think, I've got to prove everybody wrong.

So what do you do?

You try harder to prove your worth.

And then what happens?

They might actually respect you less, not more.

And that's exactly what happened to her.

She kept trying to prove that she needed to be respected.

I saw she would escalate in the room.

She would raise her tone of voice.

She would do all these things that they weren't respectable.

They were actually rude.

They were mean.

They seemed like somebody would do those things if you were talking to an enemy, not somebody on your own team.

And then here's what happens when she realized that was her behavior.

She lost more self-respect.

And that's what happens in that cycle.

Then you lose more self-respect because you're trying to appease another person rather than yourself.

And then you repeat the cycle.

I know what you're thinking, which is like if I stop trying to earn other people's respect, doesn't that make me look arrogant or selfish?

But here's the thing, respecting yourself doesn't make you selfish.

It makes you stable.

Because when you respect yourself, your boundaries are clear, you have standards that are non-negotiable, and people around you know where they stand.

And ironically, it's like one of the kindest, most generous things that you can do because nobody has to guess who they're dealing with.

They understand what your standards are and how you treat yourself.

And trying to earn respect by tolerating disrespect is like trying to get healthy by eating cake

and hoping your body's just not going to notice.

We want to break that cycle.

And that takes us to our next point.

Number two, we measure people by what they cost you, not what they say.

Just because somebody talks up a big game doesn't mean that they should be in your life.

So here's a good decision-making filter.

If somebody makes it harder to behave like the person I respect being, they are too expensive to have in my life.

Like no matter how charming, how connected, or how important they are.

So here's the questions that you ask yourself to evaluate, is that person worth your time and energy?

One, do I like who I am when I'm around them?

Two, do they challenge me in ways that elevate me or in ways that confuse and derail me?

Most important, does my behavior with them, when I'm around them, move me closer or further from my values?

A lot of people say, I know my boyfriend cheated on me, but he says, what he says, he is causing you to lose respect for yourself by staying with him.

And it's not about him, it's about you.

It's not that he inherently makes you disrespect yourself.

It's that you choosing to stay makes you disrespect yourself.

The same goes in the workplace.

People ask me all the time, Leila, what do I do?

My boss, I know they don't respect me.

It feels toxic.

It feels like they're constantly disrespecting me.

How do I manage them up?

You don't, you leave because you aren't going to change the other person.

You just have to change the situation by changing how you've responded to the same situation over and over and over again.

100

Person's not going to change because of you.

101

People barely can get themselves to change.

102

Think about yourself watching this video.

103

You're trying to figure out how to respect yourself.

104

You think for some reason you're going to have more pull over somebody else's behavior than your own.

105

That's just not the case.

106

And so you can't expect somebody's going to leave.

107

You have to leave the situation.

108

And I know that you're probably thinking, well, but this job, I can't get another job.

109

Or like, this is my business partner.

110

Like I have to make it work or I've been married for this.

111

Like, I understand.

112

But at the same time, there's a quote that comes to mind every time I think of this, which is like, the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and over again, expecting a different result.

113

The situation won't change unless you do.

114

And you don't change by wanting, you don't change by wishing, and you don't change by feeling.

115

You change by doing something different.

116

Someone saying or doing something disrespectful doesn't inherently make them toxic.

117

It's allowing the disrespect is that what makes it toxic, is that you allow yourself to remain in that situation.

118

Someone can't disrespect you if you leave the situation.

119

And so allowing someone to continually disrespect us is when you give away your own power, and then you lose respect for yourself in the process.

120

Here's where things get interesting, is that self-respect is a system, not a feeling.

121

Okay, most people think that self-respect is something that you earn, but the truth is self-respect is a daily set of behaviors.

122

You don't feel self-respect, you do self-respect.

123

So let's break down the behaviors that actually build self-respect.

124

Number one, keep your f*ing word to yourself.

125

I don't know how many times I have to say this.

126

Keep your f*ing word to yourself.

127

If you don't keep your word to yourself, and you are pissed that people disrespect you, then you have nothing to complain about.

128

You don't respect yourself.

129

Of course they don't respect you.

130

And you might say, oh, this person disrespected me by saying they were gonna do something and then they did something else or whatever it might be.

131

Okay, but if you don't even keep your word to yourself, how can you be pissed that somebody else doesn't keep it to you?

132

This happens all the time in relationships.

133

There's a saying that people say, which is, it only takes one person to change a relationship.

134

And that goes for this as well, because if you change, the other person has to change their behavior.

135

But a lot of people don't see that.

136

They just see, I need them to change, for me to change, or for me to feel better.

137

But we don't have control over what other people do.

138

We only have control over how we respond to ourselves and what we do.

139

The second thing you need to do is you need to leave environments that make you behave out of alignment.

140

For example, when I was 18, I lived in a house with six people, and I realized that everything they did, smoking weed, drinking, partying, stealing,

141

lying, cheating, it was all out of alignment with the person I wanted to be.

142

And so I left.

143

I didn't say, you guys need to respect me by upholding these standards

144

that I want you to have of your life because for some reason that will make me feel better.

145

No, I just said this, I'm leaving the situation.

146

They can do whatever they want to do.

147

I'm gonna live my life how I'm gonna live my life.

148

And so I left and then I went and I lived in a house by myself because I said, it makes it harder for me to respect myself when I'm surrounded by these people.

149

It's a question I ask myself a lot.

150

Am I surrounding myself with people that make me lose respect for myself

151

because maybe I'm tolerating stuff from them that I wouldn't tolerate from other people.

152

Maybe I'm acting in a way when I'm around them that makes it harder for me to respect myself,

153

or maybe I feel that their disrespect for themselves makes it hard for me to respect myself around them.

154

A really big one is when people are drinking and doing drugs.

155

Like I still to this day get uneasy when I'm around somebody

156

that drinks a lot because I feel they don't have respect for themselves.

157

And I'm like, I just hold myself to a higher standard of how much I respect my body, my mind, all these things.

158

It's really hard for me to be around that now because I know what it was like.

159

And so I don't sit there and try to preach to them.

160

I'm not like, oh, you should stop drinking.

161

I'm just like, I just won't be hanging out with you.

162

I'm not even gonna tell them.

163

You're just not gonna be there.

164

You don't need to make other people feel bad for the fact they don't respect themselves.

165

You just need to respect yourself by leaving the situation.

166

Now, the third behavior is that you wanna choose discomfort over self abandonment.

167

Most people, and this happens all the time, they would rather abandon themselves, their values, their principles, their sense of self, than be uncomfortable.

168

Instead, we wanna say this.

169

I will choose discomfort if it means keeping the respect I have for myself.

170

So I'll give you an example of when this happened to me in the workplace.

171

So when I got a job at a gym when I was 21, I joined a gym and it was the one that I felt like I could make the most money, the fastest, which I had moved all the way across the country.

172

I didn't have much money.

173

So I was like, it, whatever, I'll just work here.

174

And when I was there, I remember it was like four days in and one of the managers, he was like, hey, you should go talk to those guys over there.

175

And it was like this group of older men.

176

And I was like, why?

177

And he was like, well, I think that those would be your ideal clients.

178

And I was like, definitely not my ideal clients.

179

My ideal clients are women in their 20s.

180

Why?

181

And he was like, listen, I remember he looked me dead in the eye and he grabbed me on my shoulder, he put his hand right there.

182

And he was like, pull down your shirt, pull up your shorts, go talk to them.

183

In the moment, I was like, I don't even know what's happening right now.

184

And I ended up leaving.

185

Later that day, I said, oh, I have a stomach ache.

186

I've got to go.

187

And I just called them after and I said, I'm not working here.

188

I'm done.

189

And they were like, why?

190

And I was like, not for me.

191

I'd rather be uncomfortable knowing that I don't have the money, don't have all this.

192

You know, now I'm uncomfortable with the fact that like, I don't know how I'm going to make ends meet, but at least I keep my dignity.

193

At least I'm keeping my values.

194

Like, that's just not how I roll.

195

And by the way, if you roll that way, whatever you do, you like, I just don't roll that way.

196

And so I was like, I just got to exit the situation and doing little things like that over time, that's how you build respect for yourself.

197

It's by keeping the promises, keeping the boundaries, and deciding it's okay to be uncomfortable as long as I'm aligned with my values.

198

The fourth behavior is speaking truthfully without emotionally vomiting.

199

This one's insidious.

200

A lot of people lose respect for themselves because of what they say to other people, and then they walk away thinking, I shouldn't have said that.

201

I think I said too much.

202

I'm not happy with how I showed up.

203

I don't know if I should have said that.

204

And that's because they speak out of impulse and emotion.

205

This is when people speak from unmanaged discomfort rather than speaking truthfully in alignment with the results they want.

206

A question that I ask myself all the time is, what do I want to have happen from this conversation?

207

Like what's the action I want this person to take?

208

What would I like them to do when we get done talking?

209

I don't ask myself, how would I like to feel?

210

I ask myself, what would I like to have happen?

211

And that's a huge one because if you think about it, a good example is if you're mad at your spouse because they didn't get you the gift you wanted on your birthday.

212

You say, okay, well, why am I mad?

213

Because I'm uncomfortable with the fact that I think about them so much on their birthday that I would never forget this, but they forgot it for me.

214

And so I'm uncomfortable, I don't feel good.

215

Well, what do I want to have happen?

216

Well, I want them to think of me on my birthday.

217

Then do you think emotionally vomiting all over that person is going to result in them thinking about you on your birthday?

218

Or do you think it's going to result in them liking you less

219

because you made them feel bad for something they didn't even know that was an expectation of themselves?

220

And so that's why you have to ask yourself these things.

221

And people go around in the workplace, in their friendships, in their relationships, emotionally vomiting, because it feels good in the short term

222

and it feels really bad in the long term because you don't build that self-respect.

223

And so if you think about it, self-respect is like fitness.

224

You just do it one rep at a time every time you choose not to betray yourself.

225

And every time you betray yourself, you lose self-respect.

226

Every time you break a promise to yourself, you're showing the world how to treat you and you show yourself how to treat you.

227

But here's the thing, people who really respect themselves, they just leave situations and people who don't respect them.

228

They don't complain about it and they certainly don't YouTube, Google search videos about it.

229

They just dip.

230

They ghost them and they leave.

231

So self-respect is built in systems that make it easy for us to keep promises to ourselves.

232

The fourth tactic is that respect is taught through consequences, not conversation.

233

Saying to somebody, you need to respect me, is useless unless there is no consequence when they don't respect you.

234

Nobody disrespects us without our permission.

235

And so respect is taught by what you accept, not what you explain to people.

236

So let's go back to the cheating example.

237

My boyfriend cheated on me and I told him, if you ever do this again, you have to respect me.

238

You can't treat me like this.

239

Words, just words.

240

Words don't mean s*.

241

If you really wanted him to respect you, you would leave.

242

And then maybe at that point, you have a chance at salvaging the relationship because he has now learned there's a consequence.

243

If I cheat, she leaves.

244

Versus before it was, if I cheat, she just says some s* up to my face.

245

She talks at me.

246

I get yelled at for a day.

247

The same goes for teammates.

248

If they disrespect you and all you do is say words, nothing changes.

249

But if you say, I'm taking this project away and you just take it away.

250

If you demote somebody, if you suspend somebody, okay, now there's a consequence.

251

And that is likely not going to happen again.

252

So here's the thing.

253

Nobody is going to respect you unless you demand it through action, not through talking.

254

There was a time when somebody said something to me.

255

I remember this.

256

There was an employee and they made a joke about me in front of my team.

257

And I was in a meeting with them.

258

There was like probably six of us.

259

And I didn't say anything.

260

I just left.

261

And me leaving, it taught me something, which was that there was nothing I could have said that would have been more powerful than me leaving that room.

262

Not only did I get an apology, I got the most remorseful letter I've ever read.

263

I can't believe I offended you so badly you left the room.

264

And the thing was is that I didn't feel bad about myself for leaving the room.

265

I didn't regret it later because what would I have done otherwise?

266

Say something?

267

Emotionally vomit?

268

Then I'm doing something that feels out of alignment with my values

269

because I don't like yelling at people in front of people.

270

I don't like making people feel bad.

271

I also don't like being made to feel bad, so I just left.

272

And that's why people will respect us through our actions, not our words.

273

Which brings me to point five, which is mastering emotions is one of the highest forms of self-respect.

274

People who are really, really powerful, people who have true personal power, they don't yell at people.

275

Emotional outbursts, they can feel satisfying, but they don't teach people anything calm, decisive action does.

276

And so mastering our own emotions is how we successfully create boundaries without all the drama.

277

You don't need to yell.

278

You don't need to shout to explain yourself.

279

You decide ahead of time what happens the next time somebody does something and then you follow through with it.

280

When the thing happens, when they do this thing, when they say this thing, when they have this action, no yelling, no emotional vomiting, no explaining, you just do the next thing.

281

That means that if somebody cheats on you and you're thinking to yourself, I will leave, you don't need to yell at them.

282

You just f*ing leave.

283

The next time your boss yells at you, say something demeaning to you.

284

They talk about how you're not worth something.

285

They do something unethical.

286

You just leave.

287

You don't say something.

288

This is not about your boss.

289

This is about you.

290

It's about you respecting yourself enough to walk away from the situation and not need to emotionally vomit on somebody.

291

Because that again is going to make you respect yourself less.

292

So what does handling your emotions look like in practice?

293

We do not fight.

294

We don't argue.

295

We don't yell.

296

We We don't call people names that are derogatory.

297

Instead, we choose silence and action over conflict.

298

We use our actions, not our words.

299

It's funny how we're taught that when we're young.

300

Like, use your words.

301

Like, no, use your actions.

302

We distance ourselves rather than trying to prove a point to somebody.

303

And then we calmly exit situations instead of emotionally exhausting ourselves in front of people.

304

And I know it feels like you have to confront everybody every time they wrong you,

305

but you leaving and enacting a consequence says more than any word could ever say to somebody.

306

And so anytime you create drama, think about it, you end up respecting yourself less.

307

So you have to learn to master your emotions, stay calm and use your actions.

308

The sixth tactic is that high respect people never argue to be respected.

309

They just leave.

310

So you'll never see a confident person begging to be valued.

311

They've already decided their worth before they walked in the door.

312

An example of this is like when I was in college, I had a boyfriend that I was with for a year and a half.

313

I found out he cheated on me and he told me

314

and I remember sitting there and the first thing that came out of my mouth was, okay, well, I guess we can't be together.

315

And I remember he was like first shocked that I wasn't yelling, secondly shocked like, oh, wait, what?

316

He was like, he was like, he could not compute.

317

I'm sure that guy had never had a girl not scream

318

and rip his head off when he had cheated because he'd definitely done it before.

319

And I was just like, yeah, well then we can't be together.

320

And I remember I made a choice consciously in that moment.

321

I was like, I want to respect the woman I am and how I handle this situation.

322

Because guess what?

323

I had already decided.

324

If anyone ever cheated on me, I would walk away in silence.

325

I'm not gonna yell, I'm not gonna scream, I'm just gonna be done.

326

And why is that?

327

Because it's not about them.

328

It's not about how they feel in the situation.

329

It's not about if they know they disrespected me.

330

It's because I wouldn't respect myself if I turned into the girl who screamed, who cried, who begged.

331

I don't want to be that person.

332

I don't want to carry that with me.

333

I don't want to wake up the next morning and think about that.

334

And so I said, we can be friends, if anything.

335

He was a nice guy, I liked him, he made a mistake, but I was like, I've already decided I'm done.

336

We're not gonna be together in a situation.

337

I know a lot of people think, well, shouldn't I try and talk it out?

338

Am I just giving up?

339

And it's like, why do we talk?

340

Why do we talk to people?

341

We talk to people because we want to change something about what they do.

342

So my favorite thing that my husband and I do is that when we have tension, when we have anything we disagree on, we just say, what would you like me to do differently?

343

Because we have all this drama in relationships.

344

People stay up until three...

345

I've never done that in the last 10 years of my marriage, by the way.

346

I do not stay up till 3 a.m.

347

We do not have late night fights.

348

It's very short to the point.

349

Like, we get it.

350

We have this down.

351

What do you want me to do differently?

352

I don't need you to yell at me.

353

I just want to know what behavior would you like me to change.

354

And then I can decide if I'm willing to do that or not.

355

And if I'm not, we'll just come up with a different way of doing this.

356

And the second piece is that leaving doesn't mean that you give up.

357

It means that you grew up.

358

You recognize that some conversations don't need to be had.

359

Not every conversation needs to be had.

360

It really doesn't.

361

And if they didn't change after the first time that this situation occurred, then they're probably not going to change after the fifth or the sixth.

362

And so walking away from a situation is not quitting.

363

It's choosing to respect yourself more than the situation.

364

And that is why respect doesn't start with other people.

365

It starts with you, with how you behave, with how you show up, and it's what you tolerate.

366

And the version of you that you're trying to be can't survive in an environment where you're constantly disrespected by yourself.

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?

Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
