1
Have you ever been in a situation where you're at work and your manager or a senior leader comes up to you,
2
asks you a question out of the blue,
3
and for some reason your mind just blanks out?
4
You find that it's in these impromptu conversations where you didn't get a chance to prepare ahead of time,
5
where when you're trying to give an answer,
6
you sound unclear, uncertain, and you're stumbling over your words.
7
And then what happens is once they walk away,
8
you, within a few minutes,
9
you realize that you do know the answer
10
and you're asking yourself why didn't I know it or say it properly when I had the chance.
11
If this has ever happened to you I want you to know you are not alone
12
and more importantly that there is a solution and a way out of
13
that fright or freeze mode
14
and today in this video I want to teach you how to stop freezing in conversations even
15
if you're not a natural talker,
16
even if English isn't your first language,
17
and even if you've always been the quiet one in your workplace.
18
And by the end of this video,
19
you're going to have a simple framework that will help you to share your progress updates,
20
to share your insights, your recommendations in any conversation,
21
in any meeting, in a calm, confident way.
22
And by doing this often enough,
23
you'll be seen as going from invisible to influential so that you can get promoted to the next level in your career.
24
And as someone who has struggled with my own confidence and communication issues early on in my corporate career,
25
I have now since helped thousands of professionals to advance and move up in their careers.
26
And I have seen this transformation over and over.
27
Just like my client Iris,
28
who initially went from anxious and feeling self-doubt
29
and not sure of how she was showing up at work
30
to now being seen as the go-to leader in her organization
31
or like my client who once felt powerless
32
and super anxious in meetings to now having clarity
33
and intention every time she walks into a meeting knowing what she's going to say
34
and becoming more and more visible on a daily basis.
35
Now before we dive in I have compiled all of these steps
36
that I'm sharing with you today in my speak confidently in meetings pdf guide.
37
You just have to put in the word confident in the comments below
38
and we'll be sure to send you the link so
39
that you can have the step-by-step strategy
40
and framework on how you can deliver a clear and confident work progress update in your next meeting.
41
So firstly, let's talk about the number one mistake that you're making that's causing you to freeze up in conversations at work.
42
And that is you are too focused on yourself.
43
Many corporate professionals make the mistake of focusing on themselves,
44
how they sound, how they look,
45
how people are perceiving them when they're speaking in a meeting.
46
And when you are only focused on yourself and you're only spotlighting yourself,
47
you are not able to articulate an idea or a thought
48
or a recommendation that will land to the other person across the table.
49
Because you're so focused on yourself.
50
You're thinking about yourself.
51
You're super self-conscious.
52
You're anxious.
53
You're nervous.
54
And that blocks your ability to come up with any fresh ideas,
55
any good opinions, any insights or perspective,
56
because again, you're too focused on yourself.
57
So instead of focusing on yourself,
58
you're now going to focus on having the right structure,
59
knowing the right structure, memorizing this structure so that every time that you want to say something in a meeting,
60
whether it's an update or sharing an idea or opinion,
61
you're going to be able to say it in a cohesive, logical, flowing way.
62
You're not going to just focus on yourself.
63
You're going to walk them through the journey of your thought process to the end result.
64
So let's start with step number one.
65
So step one to this method,
66
which is known as SAR,
67
is S, which is situation.
68
Situation means that you need to get everyone on the same ground,
69
on the same page.
70
Setting the context, getting everybody to understand what the situation is,
71
is the first step.
72
The most common mistake when it comes to giving updates for many corporate professionals is that they don't set the scene.
73
They don't talk about currently what's going on in the situation.
74
They just jump straight to their recommendation.
75
If you don't give people context and the lay of the land and understanding of what you're actually talking about,
76
they won't be able to follow along and buy into your idea or your recommendation.
77
So instead of jumping in with your data and your recommendations,
78
you want to lay out the landscape first.
79
Laying the landscape means talk about what's been going on since the last meeting.
80
What do people need to know to put things into context?
81
So for example, instead of saying we're behind schedule as your update,
82
you can say, as you know,
83
our main goal for this quarter is to launch the new product by March 31st. When we last checked in,
84
we were on track with development,
85
but in the last two weeks,
86
we've run into some unexpected hurdles.
87
Notice the details that are incorporated in that.
88
We're talking about what is this project about?
89
What is the impact?
90
What is the goal that we're trying to achieve?
91
What has been happening?
92
That's all laid out within those few sentences.
93
And notice the impact that you're making when you're speaking from this perspective.
94
You're able to get everyone on the same page,
95
you're speaking with authority, and you're giving everyone information and context
96
that they can understand so that they can follow along with your thought process and ultimately your recommendation.
97
The key to confident communication is first knowing how to paint the picture.
98
You're setting up the environment.
99
You're setting up the landscape.
100
You're making sure that everyone is on the same page and understands what you're talking about.
101
So that's step number one.
102
And by the way, if you're listening along and you're thinking,
103
okay, this sounds great and I really would love this all in writing,
104
then put in the word confident down in the comments below.
105
And don't forget to get a link to download my Speak
106
Confidently at Work free PDF guide that's going to give you the step-by-step framework,
107
the strategy and prompts that will help you to deliver your next update
108
or idea in your next meeting in a calm and confident way.
109
Again, confident down in the comments down below.
110
All right, so step two of the SAR framework is action or analysis.
111
Now, this is pretty self-explanatory.
112
This is where you're going to either talk about the action steps
113
that you took related to this situation or project or assignment,
114
or you're going to talk about the analysis that you did related to this project or assignment,
115
or you might incorporate a little bit of both.
116
This is the step that I took.
117
This is the analysis that I did.
118
Now, bear in mind, you don't want to make the mistake of being overly detailed.
119
This is where many corporate professionals who are hard workers,
120
high achievers, they get people confused because they get too much into the technical details,
121
the data, the analysis, the action steps that people lose their attention.
122
You lose people's attention.
123
You aren't able to engage with them.
124
They are lost.
125
They're confused.
126
And that's the last thing that you want to happen.
127
You want to make sure that people are able to follow along.
128
So you need to be able to speak from a high level.
129
What are the high level milestones?
130
What are the key phases of delivery that you went through?
131
What are the steps that you took that are at a high level?
132
Again, don't go into too much detail.
133
Just list them out briefly and make sure
134
that you're able to say it in a way that people are able to follow along.
135
They're able to visualize it and they're able to understand what you did from an action or analysis standpoint.
136
Remember, people want clarity, not a data dump.
137
Don't give everyone a list of facts.
138
You just want to walk them through a storyline.
139
So to continue our example,
140
you could say, to address the delays,
141
we set up daily check-ins with our developers and revise the timeline to prioritize testing.
142
We also flag the supplier issue with procurement so there wouldn't be further holdups.
143
That's it.
144
Just a few sentences, direct and to the point.
145
And here's the thing.
146
If you're not feeling as though you're giving enough detail,
147
you can say that.
148
You can say, if anyone wants a little bit more detail about how I did this,
149
I'm happy to clarify.
150
Just let me know.
151
You can say that in the meeting without going into the details right away.
152
You can let other people ask you.
153
So start off high level and let the conversation flow.
154
The questions come in and that's where you can showcase your expertise.
155
It's much better for you to do it
156
that way than for you to just dump people with all the information without them asking for it.
157
People are going to be much more engaged and they're going to be much more interested in what you have to say.
158
This is actually something that I've learned for myself in the work that I do,
159
coaching corporate professionals in their leadership and communication skills.
160
I've realized that you guys don't want every single little detail upfront.
161
You want to understand at a high level what the process is.
162
And from there, you ask me questions and I'm able to then give you the backup,
163
up the proof and the evidence so that you can further understand the concept.
164
That I find from a coaching perspective,
165
from a teaching perspective is so much more helpful because there's that back and forth.
166
And so the same goes in the workplace.
167
If you can engage people in conversation with you,
168
get them to ask you questions
169
that helps you to be seen more as the expert because you're able to really speak to what they're talking about,
170
what they're wanting to know from you.
171
Now, the third step of the SAR framework is R,
172
which stands for recommendation and result.
173
So you either close with your recommendation or the result if you're giving an update,
174
or you give a little bit of both.
175
Recommendation is the idea or the path that you suggest,
176
and the result is the impact that's going to make.
177
Always think bigger picture.
178
What does your recommendation do for the bigger picture goal that the team or the organization has?
179
You want to tie it into that bigger picture so
180
that people can be convinced that your particular recommendation is the best one.
181
So as for our example,
182
you could say, as a result,
183
we expect to recover our timeline and still hit our launch date.
184
I recommend we keep the daily check-ins until we're through this sprint.
185
Now, if you're just giving a pure update,
186
then you're going to talk about the result of the work that you've done.
187
So you could say the actions we took helped us clear the backlog
188
and our customer response times have already improved by 15%.
189
Don't shy away from stating the quantifiable impact.
190
This is how leaders speak.
191
You've already gone through the process of stating the situation,
192
giving them the context.
193
Then you've walked them through the analysis and the action steps.
194
And from there, you're telling them their recommendation you're telling them the results
195
that it's going to have on the bigger picture goal why
196
would they not want to follow along with what you have to say
197
that is how you deliver and speak up in a way
198
that is calm that is confident that is composed in any situation
199
and finally step four is to invite engagement
200
so don't just state what you have to say
201
but create the conversation make sure that it keeps it going
202
so you're going to say i'd love to provide any more detail if anyone has any questions,
203
let me know and open the floor up to questions.
204
Now, if this isn't in a meeting,
205
but this is more of a one-on-one conversation,
206
you wouldn't necessarily say it like that.
207
Instead, you would say, what are your thoughts?
208
And you allow that other person to share their piece.
209
That is how you create conversation.
210
That's how you deepen bonds and relationships at work, work relationships.
211
And that's how you create visibility for yourself.
212
It doesn't matter if you are the most junior person,
213
and it does not matter if you're new to the organization.
214
you can go from freezing up to speaking up if you follow the right structure and strategy.
215
So if you want this exact framework
216
and strategy in your pocket every single day so that you can use it in every meeting that you're going to attend,
217
make sure that you write in the comments the word confident
218
so that you can get the link to my speak confidently in meetings PDF guide where you will get the exact steps,

Gölgeleme Tekniği Nedir?
Gölgeleme, başlangıçta profesyonel tercüman eğitimi için geliştirilen ve çok dilli Dr. Alexander Arguelles tarafından popüler hale getirilen, bilim destekli bir dil öğrenme tekniğidir. Yöntem basit ama güçlüdür: ana dili İngilizce olan bir sesi dinler ve hemen yüksek sesle tekrar edersiniz — konuşmacıyı 1-2 saniye gecikmeyle takip eden bir gölge gibi. Pasif dinleme veya dilbilgisi alıştırmalarının aksine, gölgeleme beyninizi ve ağız kaslarınızı gerçek konuşma kalıplarını eşzamanlı olarak işlemeye ve yeniden üretmeye zorlar. Araştırmalar, telaffuz doğruluğu, tonlama, ritim, bağlı konuşma, dinleme anlama ve konuşma akıcılığını önemli ölçüde geliştirdiğini göstermektedir — bu da onu IELTS Konuşma hazırlığı ve gerçek dünya İngilizce iletişimi için en etkili yöntemlerden biri yapar.
