1
Do you ever find yourself choking on your words in a work meeting where you go in,
2
you know what you want to say,
3
you're prepared, but then when it comes time to actually saying it,
4
it doesn't come out the way that you want it to?
5
You know what I mean.
6
Instead of sounding smooth and clear,
7
your voice gets shaky, your heart beats a thousand miles a minute,
8
your hands tremble, you're overfilled with anxiety.
9
and instead of saying things in a clear,
10
calm, confident way, you are saying things out of order,
11
your words are kind of jumbled,
12
and people are feeling a little confused by the end of you speaking.
13
So if this happens to you often,
14
you've probably gotten to a point where now you ask yourself,
15
I know I'm good at what I do,
16
I know my stuff, so how do I sound polished
17
and professional when I'm speaking in work meetings and come across as composed and confident in my communication?
18
In this video,
19
I'm going to share with you my key process on how you can go from quiet to confident at work.
20
The same process that I've taught thousands of professionals over the years in enhancing their communication.
21
And it all comes down to three key things.
22
Knowing these three things and how you communicate will eventually help you to advance your career to that manager,
23
senior manager, director level role.
24
I'm an author, a speaker,
25
a leadership and communication coach.
26
My name is Linda Rayner,
27
and I wrote the book, The Quiet Achiever.
28
It's a bestseller in Canada, US, and Singapore.
29
And this is what I teach.
30
Like my other client, Sahidi,
31
who initially felt unsure and low confidence in the way that she was sharing her story,
32
how she talked about herself,
33
how she communicated, to then being able to move up in her career
34
and go from manager to lead to a senior manager role in product management.
35
If you have gotten to the point where you recognize that communication is the thing that you want to address and enhance,
36
then type the word confident down in the comments below,
37
and I will be sure to send you the link to download our free confident communication at work guide
38
so that you can go from quiet to confident yourself.
39
So firstly, let's talk about the exact reason why you are really struggling to sound polished,
40
professional, smooth, composed when it comes to speaking up at work.
41
Because as I teach in my program,
42
self-awareness is the key to change.
43
And that reason is this.
44
Deep down, you don't feel as though you belong in the room.
45
This is something that I often see with quiet achievers,
46
especially when they have to go into meetings with management,
47
senior management, directors, executives, people at the C-suite level.
48
A lot of quad achievers get extremely uncertain and insecure in these settings
49
because you're feeling as though you don't belong in the room.
50
You feel as though they know so much more than you.
51
And if you say something wrong,
52
they're going to judge you for it.
53
They're going to criticize you and it's going to impact your ability to get promoted.
54
You might say to yourself,
55
they're going to judge me if I say something wrong or stupid or they know more than me.
56
So I have to sound perfect or I won't be considered leadership material.
57
But this is what happens.
58
And this is why self-awareness is key,
59
is that if you are not aware that you're actually carrying these beliefs
60
and these preconceived notions when you're walking into these meetings,
61
what happens is that it impacts your ability to communicate confidently.
62
Because when you are subconsciously feeling less than the people around you,
63
you will energetically shrink.
64
You will try to make yourself small because you don't feel your belonging there.
65
You don't want to become the center of attention because you feel vulnerable.
66
You feel uneasy within yourself.
67
And like I said, that then impacts the way that the words that you want to speak come out of your mouth.
68
It impacts the delivery.
69
It impacts the level of conviction that you have.
70
It impacts how calm you are.
71
and ultimately it does mess up your ability to sound composed professional and polished.
72
How do we change that?
73
By understanding the three key components you need to have
74
when preparing for any interaction or meeting at work
75
and these three components are the exact things
76
that I teach in our quiet to confident program
77
that has helped professionals to elevate their communication and be able to be seen as leaders in their careers.
78
Now before I get into them remember to comment the word confident down in the comments down below
79
so that we can send you the link so you can get access to our confident communication at work guide.
80
And again, this guide will teach you the exact steps
81
or the frameworks that you need in order to go from quiet to confident in your workplace
82
and be seen as a leader in front of your coworkers and boss.
83
Overall, the three-part formula that you need to have before preparing for any interaction,
84
meeting, team meeting, or conversation is this.
85
What, who, and how?
86
The first component is what,
87
knowing what your expertise is specifically.
88
A lot of the times as quiet achievers,
89
you may be second guessing the amount of knowledge that you have.
90
You may feel that you don't know everything.
91
You pay more attention to what you don't know than what you do know.
92
And because of that, there's an insecurity that I don't know enough.
93
I need to learn more.
94
I'm not sure fully.
95
And what happens is when you walk into meetings with that feeling that you don't know enough,
96
you're not leaning into being the expert at what you do.
97
And what happens is you're then not able to answer even
98
the most simplest questions sometimes related to your own work because you're worried that you already don't know the answer.
99
And this is where that needs to shift.
100
You need to understand that you are an expert at what you do.
101
Out of everyone else in your company,
102
you are the one doing your job and you're doing it well.
103
As a Quiet Achiever, we know that.
104
You know your stuff.
105
You know the technical aspects to your work.
106
And if you really think about it,
107
even though you're sitting in a meeting with executives and directors and senior management,
108
they don't know the level to the extent of the work that you've been doing.
109
They don't know the level and depth of your work the way that you do.
110
And because of that, you can lean in on that.
111
If you anchor in that knowing that these executives,
112
these directors, they don't know everything that's going on with my work.
113
I know everything that's going on with my work.
114
So when I go into a meeting,
115
I'm going to anchor in my expertise.
116
I'm going to have my point of view coming from my expertise.
117
I know what I know.
118
If you know what you know,
119
you can speak to what you know.
120
And there's going to be topics that are discussed in a meeting where it's not fully related to what you fully know.
121
However, if you know something related to that,
122
because you're doing work that relates to that thing.
123
So as an example, they're talking about a certain report,
124
and you don't really work on that report.
125
However, you work on a certain set of data that then gets funneled into that report.
126
You can speak to that part of it.
127
You can say, well, when it comes to this report,
128
this information does get funneled to that,
129
and that helps it to do this,
130
this, and that, if that's relevant, if that's needed.
131
Of course, there's awareness and situational awareness that needs to happen when we're talking about sharing our ideas and opinions,
132
and that we can talk about in another video.
133
But the idea is there is that you need to know what you know.
134
You can't question what you know.
135
And in the case that you don't know the answer,
136
you can always simply say,
137
I don't have that answer right now,
138
but let me look into it and I'll get back to you this afternoon.
139
I'll get back to you tomorrow.
140
I'll get back to you in a couple of days,
141
whatever the case may be.
142
So that component of knowing what you know is extremely important in being able to communicate confidently.
143
Let's move on to the second key component,
144
and that is who is at the table.
145
In other words, who will you be talking to?
146
Who is the audience?
147
Who are the other members of this meeting?
148
who are the people that you're going to be interacting with.
149
If you understand your audience,
150
if you know who they are,
151
meaning you know their job titles,
152
you know what they're responsible for,
153
their roles and responsibilities related to the project or topic at hand,
154
you know what their motives are,
155
what their goals are, what their intentions are,
156
what they want to achieve from a company perspective, from a team perspective.
157
You also know and are aware of their concerns that really helps
158
that helps to shape your messaging as an example think of a VP of Finance
159
or a senior manager of Finance
160
if they're in the meeting they're probably more concerned about how your project is going to impact the budget
161
or the finances how it's going to impact the forecasts let's just say on the other hand
162
if you're also meeting with a senior manager
163
or director of operations they're going to be concerned about how your project impacts the specific timelines for the resources
164
that they need to get the operations and the supply chain
165
and all of those things done another example could be
166
if you're going to be also talking to
167
or meeting with the senior manager of marketing
168
or the director of marketing they're going to be concerned about how this project is going to increase brand recognition
169
so you see how each individual even though they all are working at the same company they all have slightly different goals,
170
they all have slightly different concerns.
171
And when you're coming in to speak at a meeting,
172
you need to understand what their goals,
173
what their concerns are so that you can position your messaging appropriately.
174
This is all about knowing your audience,
175
knowing who you're talking to.
176
And that is the second key component to sounding polished professional and speaking clearly and confidently at work.
177
And as a quick reminder,
178
if this is stuff that you like,
179
if you like learning about this,
180
make sure that you type in the word confident down below in the comments
181
so that you can get your free Confident Communication at Work guide where you'll learn how to go from quiet to confident.
182
Now the third component to confident communication is how.
183
Meaning having a clear structure in how you're delivering your message or your idea or your recommendation.
184
A lot of quiet achievers don't have the right structures in place in mind
185
when they're sharing an idea and opinion and this is what causes your communication to sound jumbled.
186
It causes ideas to sound sort of out of place and you're not able to deliver in a smooth,
187
composed, calm way.
188
And it can leave the people that you're speaking to feeling a little confused.
189
They feel a little lost in what you have to say,
190
and they don't fully get the point of that you're trying to make.
191
Now in our Quiet to Confident program I teach several key frameworks
192
when it comes to delivering ideas
193
but the easiest one I can share with you right now is one
194
that I talk about often and that is called SAY.
195
S-A-Y.
196
How do you say what you want to say in a clear and confident way?
197
You start with S and that stands for see the situation.
198
You need to get people on the same page as you when you're in a meeting before you share an idea.
199
A lot of the time,
200
Quiet Achievers, we just jump into, this is my idea.
201
This is the recommendation.
202
And we don't give any context.
203
Seeing the situation means being able to share with them what's the context of what you're about to share.
204
Meaning you want to share with them what you're seeing.
205
So you can say something like,
206
what I'm observing is, what I'm hearing is,
207
what I'm seeing is, whatever you want to say that resonates with you,
208
but you want to start off with that.
209
So you're going to share what you're seeing,
210
what you're observing based on what everyone's describing.
211
And then you would move on to A.
212
A stands for assess your thoughts or analysis.
213
Provide them with what is going on in your mind right now from a thought process perspective.
214
So you've shared just now what you've observed.
215
What I'm observing is that a lot of the deadlines
216
that we're trying to meet are not going to be met
217
or what I'm observing now is that the costs are being overrun in many areas for this particular project.
218
Okay so what is your thought process about that?
219
Meaning what does that mean?
220
What does that imply?
221
What is that going to lead to?
222
What are your thoughts around it?
223
Share.
224
I'm sure you have an opinion in this area.
225
You have a thought process.
226
Share what that is and to help you,
227
you could use words like this means that,
228
this implies that, this could lead to,
229
and then share what your thought process is.
230
From there, you would then move on to why, which is your recommendation.
231
Now is the time where you can share what your idea or your recommendation is.
232
Like I said, many quiet achievers coming from non-Western backgrounds,
233
if we were raised as children of immigrants or we're immigrants ourselves,
234
a lot of the time we are taught to be very blunt
235
and direct with sharing an idea and we'll just jump into sharing the idea.
236
Okay, this is what I think we should do.
237
This is what I want for us to do.
238
This is what I recommend.
239
When it comes to working in a Western workplace,
240
you need to give the context.
241
So you're going to say what you observe.
242
You're going to assess your thought process.
243
Then now everyone has an idea of what you're thinking and what you've been seeing and observing.
244
Now they'll be more likely to buy into your idea.
245
So now you can tell them what I recommend is.
246
The best path forward is.
247
Here's my suggestion on what we do next.
248
These are some phrases that you can use to help you to share your idea or recommendation.
249
And I promise you, you will be much more likely well-received
250
if you're able to articulate your idea or opinion in this way than
251
if you were to just blurt out your idea abruptly.
252
Communication is honestly, I would say, the key to success.
253
It is the key to future growth and advancement.
254
If you cannot communicate confidently,
255
you will not be heard and others will not be able to offer you the support
256
and the opportunities that you need to get to where you want to go.
257
Type in the word confident down in the comments below
258
and we'll send you the link to our confident communication at
259
work guide where you can take yourself from quiet to confident and help you to advance in your career.

O que é a Técnica de Shadowing?
Shadowing é uma técnica de aprendizado de idiomas com base científica, originalmente desenvolvida para o treinamento de intérpretes profissionais. O método é simples, mas poderoso: você ouve áudio em inglês nativo e repete imediatamente em voz alta — como uma sombra seguindo o falante com 1-2 segundos de atraso. Pesquisas mostram melhora significativa na precisão da pronúncia, entonação, ritmo, sons conectados, compreensão auditiva e fluência na fala.
