We always tell them, Do not let people think you do not belong.

Because I promise you, you...

Once you sit at these tables, at these fancy places, with folks with fancy titles.

and they got a big bank account.

And you talk to him?

And you go, "Oh." They ain't all that.

They've been given the confidence of feeling like they belong, But if you...

sit down and talk to 'em.

Turns out Hmm.

Obama is one of the best communicators in the world but he wasn't born that way.

Early on his communication was actually pretty average and his small talk often super awkward.

But over time he developed a few very specific habits.

In this video I'll show you the five communication habits you can steal to speak like Obama.

First habit: Let me show you a quick clip where Obama is interviewed by the comedian Mark Maron.

Check out if you can spot what Obama does here.

"I can't imagine anything tougher or more terrifying than doing stand -up comedy.

Did you spot it?

Before making a point, before asking a question, before talking about himself, he starts with a compliment.

Now he acknowledges the other person and that's a powerful communication habit.

Now because compliments break the ice, they make the other person feel respected and they make them like you more.

And obviously when people like you, well communication becomes so much easier.

Now, here's how you can start this habit yourself.

The key is to make your compliment specific.

Don't say, "Oh, great job." Instead say, "I love the example you used earlier about customer feedback.

So vivid." Instead of saying, "Mmm, nice presentation." The way you explained the strategy in three steps made it so easy to follow.

I love this.

Do you see?

Specific compliments feel genuine.

But let's now move to the next communication habit Obama uses all the time.

Second habit: Check out this short clip where Obama is interviewed by Trevor Noah.

I just want to say thank you so much for being on the show.

thank you for being an inspiration and most importantly

Thank you for giving me an opportunity to see what i

would look like of the eight years of the toughest job in the world you know i i will say

that i uh...

I resent

how young and good looking you are because I used to think of myself in those terms and

It's been downhill for quite some time.

Did you know this?

Instead of defending himself or trying to look impressive, he loves it himself.

And that's a powerful communication habit.

Because self -deprecating humor lowers the tension, it makes you more relatable and makes you more likeable.

Research actually shows that leaders who occasionally make fun of themselves, they're often seen as more confident, not less confident.

Because it shows that you are secure enough to laugh at yourself.

But here's how you can use this habit yourself: The key is to make fun of something small and harmless, not something that completely undermines your competence.

"Hmm, that sounded much better in my head." Or if you're presenting after someone that was an amazing speaker,

say, Well, I was hoping that the person before me would be terrible, but Unfortunately, that was not the case.

Now small jokes like that instantly lighten the room.

They make people smile.

And when they smile, communication becomes so much easier.

Alright, let's now move to the next communication habit Obama uses all the time.

Third habit.

Let's check out those next two clips and see if you can spot the next communication habit.

Two things I guess.

I do for myself.

Two things happen.

Now, did you notice?

He doesn't just launch into this big explanation.

He structures his answer upfront, saying two things.

That instantly makes us relax because we know that there's a plan, that there's a structure behind what he's saying.

So, before you go into the content, tell them what to expect.

For example: Well, there are two main reasons for this.

First, duh duh duh.

Or, well, it comes down to three simple steps.

Step one: da da da.

Or here's one thing that changes everything.

That one sentence, that's something powerful.

It tells your listener: "Oh, I can relax.

I know where this is going." Habit number four: In that next interview, Obama is explaining why public debates have become so difficult.

But he does that in a way that is super memorable.

"One of the most pernicious things

that has happened is we have a situation now where we're not just arguing policy or values or opinions,

but basic facts are being contested.

And that is a problem, because then the marketplace of ideas of the democracy don't work.

I've said this before, but I always repeat it.

You and I can have an opinion about...

this little side table.

You know, you might not like the design, you might not like the color or how it's finished, but we can have that discussion.

If I say to you,

this is a "Lawn mower?" "You'll think I'm crazy." And if I really believe it,

I'll think you're crazy.

And we're now in a situation in which we are having These just basic factual arguments.

Now, instead of explaining this issue in abstract political language, he turns the idea into a picture.

A table and a lawnmower.

Now, that's something everyone can instantly visualize.

Great communicators don't just explain ideas.

They help the listeners see their ideas.

You can use this technique anytime you need to explain something more complex.

Just take that complex idea and compare it to something the audience already knows.

new thing is like that thing you already know.

So for example instead of saying "oh this new software will

take some time to understand" you could say "learning the software is like learning to drive.

At first sure it feels very awkward

but after a few weeks it becomes automatic."

Or instead of saying "our strategy is too complicated" you might

say "oh Our strategy right now feels like a Swiss army knife.

Sure, it does a lot of things, but none of them particularly well.

When people see the picture, they understand the idea much faster.

But let's now move on to the next communication habit.

100

Habit number five.

101

This might be the most powerful habit of all.

102

If you want to become more memorable when you speak, this is the one you need to master.

103

- You know, we get mobbed, we have to leave the zoo.

104

I'm kind of depressed about the whole thing.

105

And Malia, who's sitting in the back seat with Sasha, she says, "Dad, you need an alias." And Sasha's like, "What's an alias?" And it's like,

106

"Well, it's like a fake name you use, so you disguise your identity." So it should be like Johnny McJohn John.

107

I said, "You think that should be my name?" Yeah, she said, "But the problem is, you also have to disguise your voice, because it's too distinctive.

108

You talk really slow.

109

You need to speed up how you talk and use a higher voice." So she had a whole plan.

110

Sasha agreed to the plan.

111

We get home.

112

They explain the plan to Michelle.

113

Michelle says, "Hun, you know, the only way that, uh...

114

Daddy's gonna disguise himself as if he has surgery to pin back his ears.

115

Which I found somewhat offensive.

116

This is a communication superpower and Obama knows it.

117

In almost every interview, he shares personal stories.

118

Now why?

119

Because stories change how people listen.

120

The moment you tell a story, your listener's brain releases oxytocin.

121

Oxytocin is often called the trust hormone or love hormone.

122

It makes people feel more connected to you and trust you more.

123

So, try to tell a story in your next conversation.

124

Share this small personal moment.

125

And don't worry, you don't need to have this massive life -changing story.

126

Often a tiny moment is enough.

127

For example, instead of saying, "My daughter thinks that I work too much," you could tell this micro story where you say like,

128

"Last week, my daughter looked at my phone and she asked me, 'Daddy, do you work for your phone

129

or do you work for your phone?' "Does your phone work for you?"

130

or instead of saying "Our customer support is overloaded." You might tell this micro story

131

and say: "Yesterday one of our support agents told me.

132

I answered 84 emails before lunch and my inbox still looked the same." Moments like

133

that make your message more emotional and more vivid.

134

People can see it, they can feel it and they'll remember it for the rest of their lives.

135

But I know, storytelling can feel overwhelming when you're starting off.

136

storytelling techniques.

137

See you there.

Что такое техника Shadowing?

Shadowing — это научно обоснованная техника изучения языка, изначально разработанная для подготовки профессиональных переводчиков и популяризированная полиглотом доктором Александром Аргуэльесом. Метод прост, но эффективен: вы слушаете аудио на английском от носителей языка и немедленно повторяете вслух — как тень, следующая за говорящим с задержкой в 1–2 секунды. В отличие от пассивного прослушивания или грамматических упражнений, Shadowing заставляет мозг и мышцы рта одновременно обрабатывать и воспроизводить реальные речевые паттерны. Исследования показывают, что это значительно улучшает точность произношения, интонацию, ритм, связную речь, понимание на слух и беглость речи — что делает его одним из самых эффективных методов для подготовки к IELTS Speaking и реального общения на английском.
