1
As a kid, do you remember the absolute adrenaline rush of hearing the ice cream truck?
2
I lived at the top of my neighborhood,
3
so I took it as my civic duty to hop on my bike and alert the rest of the kids.
4
Looking back on this experience,
5
did I care how I looked,
6
frantically knocking on people's doors during dinnertime, drenched in sweat?
7
No. Did I care how I sounded shrieking,
8
the ice cream truck is coming,
9
smash your piggy banks, grab your flavors?
10
No. Why didn't I care?
11
Because I knew I had critical information.
12
that they wanted to know.
13
So public speaking wasn't about me.
14
It was the information I had that I knew could serve them.
15
With AI on the rise,
16
to say lightly, public speaking and human-to-human connection is becoming increasingly important.
17
Sure, you can go on ChatGPT to help craft an email to your boss asking for a raise.
18
But what about when she calls you into her office to discuss.
19
You can't interrupt her mid-sentence and go to AI and be like, Line?
20
Public speaking is becoming increasingly more important,
21
whether it is giving a presentation to your peers,
22
talking to your spouse, or working up the courage to call your favorite restaurant for takeout because they're not on Uber Eats.
23
Public speaking is the fuse that brings us all together.
24
It's also the gateway to opportunity.
25
The first step in a multi-million dollar deal,
26
or a partner saying yes to a proposal
27
or landing your dream opportunity was someone out there who knew how to deliver what they wanted to say
28
so why do people fear public speaking more than they fear sharks spiders and heights
29
or as Jerry Seinfeld says most people would rather be in the casket than giving the eulogy at the funeral
30
because public speaking is one of the most vulnerable exposed human experiences.
31
Personally, I blame school spelling bees or performances where we felt like we couldn't miss a letter,
32
that we had to deliver every line perfectly.
33
But the standard of perfection puts our nerves into a pressure cooker.
34
And so we've been told to combat our nerves,
35
especially as women, to just speak up.
36
Stand tall.
37
Or my favorite one, take up space.
38
But what this kind of advice does is it shifts the attention back onto ourselves,
39
which is ineffective.
40
Great speakers believe they are delivering great information,
41
whether it is about an ice cream truck or about something that'll increase your lifespan.
42
But the other thing that we get wrong is we believe that in order to be a great public speaker,
43
you have to be the center of attention.
44
You have to be the loudest one in the room with the most boisterous personality,
45
or you have to have the super dramatic story about how you single-handedly saved a species on the verge of extinction,
46
or how you climbed Mount Everest blindfolded.
47
So it makes us believe that inherently extroverts are great speakers and introverts aren't.
48
But I deeply identify as an introvert.
49
And here I am standing on this stage talking to you.
50
So let me tell you my experience.
51
I've made a career out of public speaking,
52
both speaking at companies and conferences all over the world,
53
or teaching it to women through my company.
54
But like anything you eventually become decent at,
55
you have to flop before you can fly.
56
And boy, did I flop.
57
Because you see, I thought that public speaking was about convincing people that you deserved to be there,
58
that you deserved to be worthy of their attention.
59
And so anytime I would get in front of people,
60
I would just like fire hose my resume or accolades
61
or press or name drop someone that I was in the room with for like more than two seconds.
62
Because that's what I thought that public speaking was was about showing them that I was important.
63
And as you might guess, it wasn't landing.
64
And so what did I do?
65
I started to study other speakers.
66
And I was like, why am I seeing speakers lose their train of thought on stage
67
or stumble over a word and still get standing ovations?
68
Or why did I trip going up to the stage for the whole audience to see my Spanx?
69
And I still had women wanting to talk to me afterwards.
70
Because being relatable doesn't make you unreliable.
71
It makes you a great speaker that is wired for connection.
72
The pressure to be impressive creates fear within ourselves,
73
lack of authenticity in our delivery,
74
and drives a wedge between the speaker and the listener.
75
I mean, let's be honest,
76
we've all been sitting across the table from someone who is 45 minutes into their monologue,
77
hasn't asked us a single question yet,
78
our coffee is empty,
79
and we are knee deep into hearing every detail of the story about how they actually had the idea for Uber first.
80
If only their college roommate didn't steal their whiteboard, you know.
81
Public speaking isn't about showing that you're important.
82
It's about proving to your audience or your listener that they are important.
83
Which brings me to my secret.
84
If you want to be a great public speaker, ask yourself one question.
85
Where are you shining your light?
86
I have determined there are two types of public speakers.
87
You have a spotlight speaker and you have a lighthouse speaker.
88
A spotlight speaker, the light is shining on you.
89
You are concerned with public perception.
90
You are asking yourselves, how do I look?
91
How do I sound?
92
Does everyone like me?
93
And it's not your fault because that's what we've been conditioned to believe that public speaking is,
94
being in the spotlight.
95
But a lighthouse speaker shifts the light from themselves to their listener.
96
If a spotlight asks, what does everyone think of me?
97
Then a lighthouse asks, what does everyone need of me?
98
When you're a lighthouse speaker,
99
not only you're going to be more impactful,
100
you're not going to get as nervous because it's not about achieving perfection,
101
it's about helping someone arrive at a solution.
102
We would all rather be guided by a lighthouse than a spotlight,
103
which proves that likability as a speaker doesn't come from being perfect.
104
It doesn't come from projecting some sort of forced confidence.
105
It comes from when you have a clear understanding of what your listener needs
106
and a rooted belief in what you know that can help.
107
So, if you want to be a great public speaker,
108
before you speak, ask yourself one question.
109
Where are you shining your light?
110
Thank you.

Contexto e Contexto
A oradora Jess Ekstrom, em sua palestra inspiradora, desmonta o conceito comum de que a confiança é a chave para uma boa oratória. Ela compartilha experiências da infância para ilustrar a importância de transmitir informações essenciais de forma que conecte o orador ao público. Em um mundo onde a comunicação humana está se tornando cada vez mais necessária, entender a dinâmica de falar em público pode ser transformador para o desenvolvimento pessoal e profissional. Jess enfatiza que o foco deve ser sempre na audiência e não no orador, abrindo espaço para uma comunicação mais autêntica e eficaz.
Top 5 Frases para Comunicação Diária
- “O caminhão de sorvete está chegando!” - Uma maneira divertida de expressar entusiasmo por algo que pode interessar ao seu público.
- “Vamos conversar sobre que sabores você gosta.” - Um convite à participação e à troca de ideias.
- “A comunicação é a chave para a conexão.” - Um lembrete de que se conectar com os outros é fundamental.
- “Para começar, você precisa ouvir antes de falar.” - A importância da escuta ativa na conversação.
- “O que você acha sobre isso?” - Estimula a interação e torna a conversa mais dinâmica.
Guia Passo a Passo para a Prática de Shadowing
Para dominar a arte da oratória e melhorar sua prática de conversação em inglês, considere adotar a técnica de shadowing em inglês. Aqui está um guia prático:
- Escolha um trecho curto da palestra: Comece com um pequeno segmento da palestra da Jess Ekstrom para não se sentir sobrecarregado.
- Escute atentamente: Preste atenção na entonação, no ritmo e na forma como ela se conecta com o público. O objetivo é absorver não apenas as palavras, mas também a emoção por trás delas.
- Repita em voz alta: Tente imitar a oradora, prestando atenção ao seu tom e postura. Considere usar termos como shadowspeak para descrever esse processo de repetição.
- Grave-se: Ouça sua própria gravação e compare-a com a original. Isso ajudará a identificar áreas de melhoria.
- Refine sua entrega: Pratique várias vezes, focando em suavizar sua pronúncia e aprimorar sua fluência, aproveitando a técnica de shadowspeaks.
Dominando essas etapas, você se tornará um orador mais eficaz, capaz de comunicar suas ideias de maneira mais clara e impactante. Lembre-se: a oratória vai além de simplesmente passar informações; trata-se de criar conexões com seu público.
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.
