1
You're making these communication mistakes right now that you can't see.
2
Yes, you.
3
And it's costing you your career.
4
I've made those mistakes for the last 10 years before anyone even told me.
5
You see, I was building my career and as a keynote speaker, I thought I was bloody brilliant.
6
But within many of my key interactions in high-stake meetings, my communication skills, well, they let me down, which caused me to be overlooked for the bigger opportunities that existed.
7
My name is Vin.
8
I'm a communication skills expert and after training some of the biggest companies in the world like Zoom, Microsoft, and teaching millions of people to improve the way they speak,
9
I keep seeing these five same mistakes show up again and again.
10
By the end, you'll know how to spot them and the exact behaviors to replace them with.
11
Mistake number one, you forget the question you're being asked.
12
This happens to all of us, and I know it's happened to you too, where someone on your team asks you a simple question about a project like...
13
Vin, are we still on track for Project Neo this Friday?
14
Oh, um, yeah, well, yeah, yeah, um, Project Neo.
15
So, so, uh, we, we, we kicked off a bit later than planned, because we decided we needed a bit more time on the wireframes, and then the dev found a couple of issues,
16
and there was integration problems next week to make sure things are great! Of course!
17
It was so funny you had to be there.
18
Oh, wait, wait, what was I asking you?
19
No, no, sorry, sorry, wait, um, I think, were you asking me something?
20
What was the question again?
21
Oh man, did you notice that?
22
Why does this happen to you?
23
Why does it happen to me?
24
Why does it happen to all of us?
25
Well, there's a few things that's happening in your subconscious mind.
26
When you first get asked a question about your project, you might be too focused on trying to prove that you're on top of everything.
27
So you share all the details as evidence.
28
You're anxious about leaving something important out.
29
So you overcorrect and you include every single detail.
30
You haven't actually thought in your own head what the actual answer is.
31
So you talk your way towards the point instead of just starting with the point.
32
When you do this, you actually think you're adding value.
33
You think, well, they asked me about the project, so I should tell them about the project.
34
But most of the time, they're just seeking a high-level status check, not inviting you to dump all the context.
35
And the unfortunate thing is when this happens too often in front of your leaders and your managers, they don't see you as brilliant and thorough.
36
They see you as unclear and hard to follow.
37
Which is why the next time a question gets thrown your way, here's a three-part communication framework I want you to use.
38
It's called ACQ.
39
The A stands for answer, the C stands for context, and the Q stands for question.
40
Answer their question with just one clear sentence and add a little bit of context only if you need to.
41
And then after that, ask them a clarifying question like do you want more detail
42
so then they can pull more from you if they actually need it and here is what that looks like.
43
Hey Vin are we still on for project neo this Friday?
44
Yes we are still on track for Friday.
45
We started a bit late because design needed a little more time but the plan is aligned with next week's QA window.
46
Did you need any more detail?
47
No that's That's all I need to know.
48
Now, wasn't that way better?
49
By using a communication framework like ACQ, when answering questions, especially in a work context,
50
it ensures you actually do answer the question and you don't lose yourself in a rambling mess.
51
That's invisible mistake number one.
52
But invisible mistake number two is even sneakier because when you do it, you think you're coming across as thoughtful, but people actually perceive it as confusing.
53
And mistake number two is when you externalize your thought process.
54
This is when you think out loud when the situation calls for a formed thought.
55
I was in a meeting last week with a highly credible individual.
56
I had zero doubts about their knowledge and expertise.
57
But when I asked them a simple question, the way they answered it suddenly made me question everything.
58
Instead of pausing, finding a clear answer, and then responding, he just spoke his thinking process out loud.
59
Led me down different paths and left me more confused than I was when I started.
60
It sounded something like this.
61
So Vin, what do you think our next step should be?
62
Oh, I think it should be option A.
63
Wait, maybe not.
64
Because if we do go with option A, then we'd have to actually- hold on.
65
What if we went with option B?
66
What if we did that instead?
67
No way, that doesn't make sense.
68
We should circle back to option D.
69
What do you think of that?
70
Actually, you know what?
71
Stuff it, okay?
72
Stuff it.
73
We're gonna go with option G, which stands for what?
74
Elephant.
75
I used to do this all the time.
76
I share this with you for the simple reason that many of us, We know internally that we are smart, we are knowledgeable, we're capable.
77
But the moment we open our mouths and we speak, our communication skills let us down.
78
It causes people to undermine us and overlook us.
79
And hey, by watching this video, by applying the frameworks that I teach you, the ones you're learning right now, you're not just speaking better,
80
you're actively reshaping the way people perceive you.
81
Because when you improve your communication skills, you amplify the best parts of you to those around you.
82
Now, how do you avoid externalizing your thought process?
83
I've already given you the answer in mistake number one, by using communication frameworks.
84
Communication frameworks are your best friend, especially when you need to answer questions on the spot or you're put in high pressure situations.
85
When you're put on the spot, generally what happens is you get nervous, which causes your mind to go blank and then you lose your train of thought, which causes you to ramble and externalize your thinking.
86
Frameworks allow you to lean on structures when your mind is in chaos.
87
And I've actually recorded a free training where I've distilled three
88
of the most powerful communication frameworks I use every single day in high stakes meetings or in everyday conversations
89
so that I stop rambling, I speak in a way that's more clear, in a way that's more concise, in a way that's more coherent.
90
Click the link below or scan the QR code on screen if you want to access that free training.
91
Speaking with frameworks is the difference between sounding scattered and being the person people listen to, trust and promote.
92
So make sure you check it out.
93
So what's the best framework to avoid speaking your thinking process out loud?
94
I actually posted a video recently sharing the exact process I'd use to stop rambling.
95
So go watch that if you want the process in detail.
96
But I'll quickly summarize it here for you too.
97
Don't answer immediately.
98
Pause.
99
take a deep breath and move into the thinker pose
100
which is this this gives you time to actually think about the answer
101
and when you do this you might think oh man it's
102
so weird to pause like that
103
but trust me it makes you come across more thoughtful
104
and it creates more anticipation for what you're about to say
105
next once you've thought of the answer in your head then go ahead
106
and use acq the framework we learned earlier again it's answer context question i'll show you what
107
that looks like in action all of it
108
so Vin what do you think our next step should be look I recommend we go with option B
109
because if we go with option a we're gonna hit scaling issues in quarter three how's
110
that sound to you see
111
that in the first version I verbalized the entire decision tree
112
in the second version I delivered the decision that's not to say you shouldn't ever verbalize your thoughts out loud, there are times for this where it's useful.
113
Like when you're brainstorming or you're collaborating with other people where this is necessary.
114
But when someone needs a decision, a position, verbalizing your thoughts in those particular moments, it costs you credibility.
115
You're showing them a rough draft where what they want is actually the final version.
116
And look, I get it.
117
A lot of us were trained to show our work, especially if you've got a technical role like being an engineer.
118
You were rewarded for transparency for showing the exact steps that you took.
119
That's great for problem solving but when it comes to communicating especially in high-stakes situations it can come across overwhelming and confusing.
120
Alright let's get into mistake number three.
121
You're defaulting to agreement without a position.
122
It took me years before I could recognize this mistake within my own communication.
123
It's when you remain neutral in every decision or question that comes your way.
124
Imagine someone on your team asks the following.
125
What do you guys want to eat for lunch?
126
Yeah, look, I don't really mind where we go.
127
Okay.
128
Dan?
129
I'm easy.
130
Whatever the team wants.
131
Vin?
132
Oh, yeah.
133
Well, look, I'm just going to be vague like everybody else
134
because I don't want to bear the weight of the decision of where we have lunch, because if I pick a place and then nobody likes it and then you all blame me.
135
So I don't know, whatever you guys want to eat, I'm cool with that, whatever.
136
Oh man, can you see the problem?
137
How annoying is that?
138
Not only is it frustrating when your friends can't make a decision on where to go to eat, you end up not bloody going anywhere.
139
But in a work context, it gives off the impression that you just go along with other people's decisions, that you don't have an opinion yourself,
140
and you're scared of making the wrong move.
141
But by not actually taking a position, it makes you forgettable.
142
And look, this one's relatable to so many of us, because growing up, a lot of us were taught that being agreeable is the right thing.
143
It helps us avoid conflict.
144
Especially early in your career, you don't wanna seem difficult, you don't wanna seem overly opinionated, so you stay neutral.
145
But being neutral doesn't make you easier to work with.
146
And it's invisible to you because you think you're being flexible, but to others it signals a lack of decisiveness.
147
And if you do this too often, you slowly exclude yourself from key decisions.
148
Maybe you do have an opinion.
149
Maybe you're just not sure yet.
150
So you default to being neutral because you think it's safer.
151
And again, maybe you're scared if you're too direct, it makes you difficult to work with.
152
But what happens as a result?
153
People stop asking you for your opinion.
154
In other words, you're making yourself irrelevant.
155
So how do you avoid this?
156
Here's exactly what you do.
157
When someone asks you a question, actually take a moment to pause and think of your position, and then follow the PRO framework.
158
The P stands for position, which means state your position, and then the R stands for reason,
159
which essentially means give a reason for the position that you have, and then the O stands for open,
160
which essentially is you opening it up for questions.
161
And remember, if you want to learn the three most powerful communication frameworks that I use on a daily basis, remember to check out my free training in the description below.
162
So, for example, if you're in a team meeting and your manager says the following, we have two options.
163
We can either post one video a week on YouTube or two videos.
164
What do you say?
165
My position is we should be posting two videos a week.
166
We've seen a 200% increase in subscribers over the last month, and we need to double down on this while the channel has momentum.
167
If we did move to two videos a week, what's the one thing you'd want new viewers to do when they land on one of our videos?
168
Peter, the answer's simple.
169
They should like the video they're watching and hit subscribe because we're not gonna move on from this skit until they do.
170
I love how creative we can be with getting you to subscribe.
171
I mean, did you do it?
172
No, but seriously, if you want to support us, that teeny weeny action goes a long way.
173
All right, back to the point.
174
Did you see how powerful that example was in the skit?
175
Did it come across difficult?
176
Absolutely not.
177
So remember to use the PRO framework more often when you're asked about your input on something.
178
Because people who actually stand for something are the ones who influence decisions.
179
Okay, this next mistake is something I can guarantee 99% of people do.
180
Mistake number four is not leading the energy.
181
When you're in a room with a group of people, you let the room decide how you show up.
182
If they're quiet, you're quiet.
183
If they're energetic, you're energetic.
184
And there's nothing particularly wrong with that because this is how you build rapport with people, fast.
185
By meeting people where they are and matching their energy.
186
What I am talking about is understanding
187
that you have the power to shift the energy in the room
188
and setting the tone for the people to match you instead of just you matching others.
189
This is one of the traits of great leaders.
190
They don't just copy the energy in the room, they set the tone.
191
For me, when I'm talking to my team every single day, there are moments that require high levels of passion.
192
Then there are moments that require deep levels of focus.
193
As we move from light to funny topics to more serious and thoughtful ones, as a leader I deliberately shift the way I show up.
194
I'm guiding the energy of the people around me.
195
And this is what makes you magnetic and charismatic as a communicator.
196
You don't just contribute a thought, you shift people's energy.
197
So practically, how do you do this?
198
How do you not only match people's energy but actually set the tone of the room so that others follow your lead?
199
Well, step number one, you have to learn to read the room.
200
Understand how people are currently showing up with their level of energy.
201
Think about how people are using their voice.
202
Are they loud?
203
Are they quiet?
204
Are Are they talking fast or slow?
205
Is the topic playful or is it serious and heavy?
206
Once you get a good read of the room, step two is to match and mirror them.
207
If they're calm and thoughtful, don't engage them with a loud volume, meet them with calmness.
208
Again, why is this important?
209
Because it creates harmony and makes people feel like you get them.
210
And only once you feel you're in rapport, then you move to step three,
211
which is to shift your voice slowly to guide them to the energy level you want it to be at.
212
If you're calm and thoughtful and you want to shift the energy to something more light and playful, you add a bit more volume, a bit more warmth and melody into your voice.
213
You're still with them.
214
You're just inviting them to a different level.
215
In a leadership context, your job is to meet people where they are
216
and then take them to where the conversation needs to go.
217
And yes, this is hard.
218
You don't need to be a motivational speaker on standby 24 seven, but the people who grow the fastest and create the most impact,
219
they aren't afraid to set the tone of the room and not just conform.
220
Here's the last one.
221
This is the one that kept me stuck the longest.
222
Mistake number five.
223
Not playing your instrument to its fullest potential.
224
Imagine a friend gifted you a guitar but he never actually taught you how to play it.
225
That guitar will sit on the shelf, collect dust and become wasted potential.
226
Most of you don't realize this, but your voice is also an instrument.
227
And just like how my friend gave me this guitar without teaching me how to play it, no one actually gave you the instruction manual on how to use your voice.
228
When was the last time someone sat you down and taught you how to play with your instrument, your voice?
229
It took me over 10 years to master my communication skills.
230
And I can tell you right now, it's the one skill that has transformed my life.
231
And I don't say that lightly.
232
I've been lucky enough to help millions of people unlock their voice and play their instruments better.
233
And when they do, they unlock their potential in their careers.
234
They get promoted, they get recognized, and finally get seen for the value that they bring, not just the work they do in the background.
235
So what does playing your instrument actually look like?
236
Well, most of us only play the same five keys on the piano regardless of what we're talking about.
237
They use the same melody, they use the same rate of speech, and they use the same volume, kind of like I'm doing right now.
238
The goal is to learn how to play all 88 keys of your piano or guitar, however many keys there are on that instrument over there.
239
The goal is to learn how to be dynamic as a communicator.
240
And what's a practical way to do this?
241
Learning how to control a few simple dials, your rate of speech, your volume, your melody.
242
When you speed up, it makes you sound more passionate.
243
When you slow down, it adds weight to your words and highlights what you're saying.
244
When you speak loud, you're showing confidence and vitality.
245
And when you speak quietly, you're forcing people to lean in.
246
And when you add a little bit more melody to your voice, not only does it make you more dynamic, it makes you more engaging and memorable.
247
The greatest communicators know how to control these dials when they're communicating, and they mix it up to keep you engaged.
248
Sometimes they speed up, sometimes they lower their voice, sometimes they use lots of melody.
249
This is what makes you more dynamic and also makes you easier to listen to.
250
These are the five mistakes that most people make when they speak and now you can't unsee it.
251
Sorry.
252
Replace these mistakes with the new behaviors I've shared with you in this video
253
and you've unlocked a whole new version of you that no longer is overlooked and ignored
254
but rather is respected and listened to.
255
Don't be so attached to who you are in the present that you don't give the future version of you a chance.
256
Make sure you check out the link in the description for my free training to dive deeper into communication frameworks.
257
I'll see you in the next video.

Contexto e Antecedentes
No vídeo "Você está cometendo esses erros de comunicação (sem saber)", o especialista em comunicação Vin compartilha insights valiosos sobre como os erros comuns na comunicação podem impactar a carreira profissional. Ele se baseia em sua experiência como palestrante e consultor, ressaltando a frequência com que se depara com falhas na comunicação durante interações importantes. Ao longo de anos de prática, Vin identificou que muitos profissionais, assim como ele mesmo, frequentemente perdem grandes oportunidades por falhas que parecem triviais, mas que na verdade são cruciais para a clareza e eficácia na comunicação.
As 5 Principais Frases para a Comunicação Diária
- Simplifique sua resposta: "Sim, estamos no prazo para o projeto." Essa abordagem clara ajuda a evitar confusões.
- Forneça contexto apenas quando necessário: "O design precisou de mais tempo, mas estamos alinhados com a janela de QA." Apenas adicione detalhes relevantes.
- Faça perguntas de esclarecimento: "Você precisa de mais detalhes?" isso mantém a conversa focada e produtiva.
- Comece com a resposta principal: "Estamos prontos para a sexta-feira." Assim você ganha atenção do ouvinte rapidamente.
- Evite se desviar do assunto: "O projeto está no caminho certo mesmo com alguns atrasos." Mantenha o foco para não parecer confuso.
Guia de Shadowing Passo a Passo
Para abordar as dificuldades de comunicação mencionadas no vídeo e melhorar sua pronúncia em inglês, siga este guia de shadowing:
- Ouça atentamente: Assista ao vídeo, prestando atenção às intonações e à escolha de palavras de Vin. Tente captar a maneira como ele estrutura suas respostas.
- Pratique o shadow speech: Repita frases seguindo o ritmo e a entonação do falante. Isso ajuda a internalizar a fluência e a clareza.
- Grave-se: Registre sua própria voz enquanto pratica. Isso permitirá que você compare com o original e identifique áreas que precisam de melhorias.
- Use feedback: Compare suas gravações com o vídeo, focando em como você pode ajustar sua pronúncia e entonação para soar mais natural.
- Integre as frases aprendidas: Incorpore as frases práticas em suas conversas diárias, tanto em contextos sociais quanto profissionais, para reforçar a prática de conversação em inglês.
Essas técnicas não apenas melhorarão sua comunicação, mas também aumentarão sua confiança em interações no idioma. Lembre-se, a prática leva à perfeição, e a prática de conversação em inglês é essencial para o seu desenvolvimento contínuo.
Gramática neste vídeo
As estruturas que o falante mais usa, com as palavras exatas do vídeo:
| Estrutura | No vídeo |
|---|---|
| Present perfect have/has + particípio passado — uma ação passada que ainda importa agora | I've made · haven't actually thought · I've already given |
| Voz passiva be + particípio passado — o foco está no que acontece, não em quem faz | be overlooked · being asked · is aligned |
| Orações relativas who / which + oração — informação extra sobre uma pessoa ou coisa | position, which means · people who actually · people who grow |
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.
