1
This is you.
2
You have all the knowledge in your mind.
3
Now you are presenting to people who in your mind,
4
in your mind, they are senior and they potentially have more knowledge than you
5
and they have some sort of authority or leverage over you.
6
What do I mean?
7
If you do a bad job, if you give a bad explanation, you are going to embarrass yourself in front of them.
8
They will think you're not that smart.
9
They will not trust you as much anymore.
10
They decide your career, whether you get promoted, whether you get a pay raise.
11
So you have a lot hanging in the air.
12
So in your mind, what you start to do is you start to question yourself.
13
why do you do this you're thinking I know my stuff
14
but these people are more senior than me what
15
if they know something that I don't know what
16
if I think I know the right answer but
17
when I say it it's actually not the right answer
18
and I'm going to make a fool of myself
19
so now in your mind what you're doing is you're trying to manage risk
20
if I say something will I say the right thing
21
Will they find out that it's not actually the right thing?
22
What if I think this is the right thing, but it's not?
23
So you're trying to, you're looking for some sort of safety in this situation.
24
So you're scared.
25
I think I know my stuff, but if I say it out loud, they don't like me.
26
All of a sudden, they think I'm stupid and I might lose status.
27
This fear of being wrong, this fear of people will find out that I don't actually know, it holds you back.
28
So then you have the words, but all of a sudden when they come out, you start hedging the words like,
29
yeah, so maybe we could try this.
30
Like I had a little bit of a look on this thing and maybe, you know, one of the things we could try.
31
Notice the language tends to soften.
32
What I'm doing is I'm not committing to my words.
33
So instead of saying, I've looked at the data.
34
This is what we should do.
35
This is me committing.
36
I have looked at the data.
37
This is what I think we should do.
38
I have high conviction in what I'm saying.
39
But if I had the same knowledge, but I'm afraid I might be wrong, then the words come out differently.
40
Yeah, so maybe this is one thing we could consider.
41
Of course, if you have other plans, that's okay.
42
So I look into the data, and I'm thinking, what if we try to do it like this?
43
Can you see the difference?
44
So what am I trying to do?
45
I'm trying to soften the impact of what I'm saying.
46
Because if I don't, if I'm not committing to what I'm saying too much, then you might not think I'm stupid.
47
You might think, oh, well, it was just an idea Yasser was sharing.
48
He wasn't going all in on it.
49
So even if he's wrong, whatever, it's okay.
50
But if you go all in on the idea, all in on the thought, you say something with high conviction, and you tend to be wrong,
51
then people will think, well, this was a terrible idea that Yasser came up with.
52
We can't trust him for anything ever again.
53
So that's why people don't commit when they speak.
54
And when they don't commit, they hold back, they shrivel, and it doesn't come out with certainty, okay?
55
So this is my first theory, that you are speaking to superiors, and you keep second -guessing that whatever you're saying might not be right,
56
or these people are the judge of the information.
57
They know better than me, so I just need to give enough information to appease them.
58
Like, is this right?
59
Is this right?
60
Am I saying this the right way?
61
You're trying to put out a fire before you even know there's a fire.
62
A lot of us do this.
63
When we go into a job interview, we're very defensive.
64
When you go into a pitch, we're very defensive.
65
So two things you can do about this.
66
One is realize some things you know about more than the other people.
67
They want you to speak because they weren't there.
68
So if you were a project manager, you were leading a project, they want to know, hey, what's happening with this project?
69
They have no knowledge of it.
70
So they're relying on you.
71
So take that as a privilege that, hey, they're asking for my opinion.
72
I want to share that with them.
73
Number two is you want to ask yourself, why does your mind believe that there is a risk in you opening your mouth?
74
Now, this might very well be the case
75
because maybe your boss is the type of person who you open your mouth
76
and all of a sudden you say something to them and they don't like it and they publicly berate you.
77
Now you're afraid of embarrassment so you don't open your mouth anymore.
78
Maybe there's no psychological safety built in there.
79
So maybe there's a real consequence of opening your mouth.
80
For a lot of people, what also happens is this, talking to superiors, there's something called authority anxiety,
81
which is you have an anxiety of people who are superior than you in the social hierarchy.
82
So this could be your parents, this could be your teacher, this could be your boss.
83
You're just afraid of disappointing people who have higher authority because if they don't like you,
84
it might affect your place in society and you might not have a job, you might get fired, you might get embarrassed, right?
85
For a lot of people, this develops early in their childhood.
86
early in their childhood.
87
So maybe your parents were, hey, do this, or I'm not going to love you,
88
or get good grades, or you're not going to get my approval, whatever it might be.
89
So now, as a kid, we have learned, I must bow down to my parents.
90
I know for me, in my culture, your parents can never be wrong.
91
Even if they are wrong, you cannot say it because it's you speaking up to authority.
92
So your parents are always right.
93
Your teachers are always right.
94
Your boss is always right.
95
Whoever's the eldest, most superior, they're always right.
96
What does this train you to do?
97
It trains you to always appease to superiors.
98
So now whenever I'm opening my mouth, I'm second guessing it all the time.
99
So superiors, ask yourself why this is happening.
100
Why is it that you feel all frozen up and your conviction goes out the window, even though you know your material?
101
And that's one reason.
102
The second reason could be a more technical reason.
103
This could be, maybe you have no fear of superiors.
104
Maybe you have no issue around authority.
105
Maybe it's the tone with which you say it.
106
Maybe it's the tone with which you say it.
107
It's simply, you just don't know what certainty sounds like.
108
So, for example, if I said,
109
I am wearing a black shirt today.
110
let's say this is what i'm this is a sentence
111
that i want to say
112
if i were to say it with 100 conviction how would i say as
113
if i know for a fact
114
that my shirt is black i would say
115
i am wearing a black shirt today did you sense any hesitation in my voice did you sense
116
that i'm trying to appease you in any way did you sense that i'm scared about my opinion hopefully not
117
I'm wearing a black shirt today.
118
But what if I said, I'm wearing a black shirt today.
119
I am wearing a black shirt today.
120
Almost sounds like a question and I'm telling you something.
121
So you can tell me if I said it right and I can say all the right things.
122
But if I say it like this,
123
then it sounds like I'm asking a question and I'm not sure myself and I want you to tell me.
124
So can you see how the tone affects how much conviction you speak with?
125
So number one, superiors.
126
Number two, your tone.
127
Do you sound like you believe in what you're saying?
128
And number three, I'm just going to leave this last one in there.
129
Your face.
130
Now, you might think, what do you mean, Yasser?
131
You want me to get plastic surgery just so I can have more conviction?
132
Maybe.
133
I don't know.
134
No, don't do that.
135
Your face, the face that you make can affect how much conviction you speak with.
136
So for example, if I were to say, let's say the same phrase.
137
If I were to say, I'm wearing a black shirt.
138
If I just make my face, I give myself a giant grin before I speak like this.
139
I look like a psychopath, but go with me.
140
You're like this.
141
And then I say, I am wearing a black shirt.
142
Notice how the words just came out with high energy, with high excitement.
143
If I look like this, I'm wearing a black shirt.
144
Notice how I didn't purposely try to lower my volume.
145
It just followed my face.
146
Whatever my face did, my volume and my body followed.
147
So for a lot of people, when they speak with conviction, if someone's asked, if they're asked a question,
148
hey, tell me about this presentation or tell me about this project,
149
And immediately, yeah, so they lead with the face so the other person can just read their face right away.
150
All the conviction goes out the window.
151
So one of the first things you want to do if you want to speak with high conviction is, this is very strange, don't move.
152
Especially in a job interview, right?
153
When you're asked a question, some people have this deer in headlights look where it looks like they were just shocked by the question.
154
So I'm in a job interview and I'm just sitting and the interview asks, so why should we hire you opposed to the other five candidates?
155
Well, you know, there's many reasons that you should, can you just see it on my face?
156
How am I going to speak with conviction when I'm making that face?
157
So the first thing you do is, why should we hire you?
158
That's a good question.
159
There are three reasons that I believe that I can do X, Y, Z.
160
Notice how slow and controlled the movement is.
161
I'm not frazzled by your question.
162
So these are three things that you can look into that will affect the conviction with which you speak,
163
your relationship with superiors and people of authority, the tone with which you speak, and the face you make when you're speaking.
164
Aditya hope that answered your question.
165
If you're in a leadership role and you struggle to speak up in meetings and presentations and be perceived as a leader, this is for you.
166
Now, there's only so much you can learn watching a video, but if you are serious about transforming the way you speak,
167
you should consider my online speaking classes.
168
My team and I have coached more than 30 ,000 people at companies like JP Morgan, NASA, Google, Apple, you name it,
169
and we help them speak with a confidence, clarity, and credibility of a CEO.
170

171
or you feel like you sound boring and people stop listening to you, these classes can transform the way you speak.

Ngữ pháp trong video
Những cấu trúc người nói dùng nhiều nhất, kèm đúng cụm từ trong video:
| Cấu trúc | Trong video |
|---|---|
| Thì hiện tại hoàn thành have/has + quá khứ phân từ — việc đã xảy ra nhưng còn liên quan đến hiện tại | I've looked · have looked · have learned |

| Câu bị động be + quá khứ phân từ — nhấn vào việc xảy ra, không phải người làm | were just shocked · be perceived |
Phát âm cần chú ý
Người nói dùng 73 dạng rút gọn, ví dụ I'm, you're, don't. Hãy nói theo dạng ngắn đúng như bạn nghe.
- Âm “sh” và “zh”: conviction /kənˈvɪkʃən/, presentation /ˌpɹɛzn̩ˈteɪʃn̩/, shock /ʃɔk/, explanation /ˌɛkspləˈneɪʃən/, potentially /pəˈtɛnʃ(ə)li/
- Từ dài — đặt trọng âm cho đúng: superior /sʊˈpɪɹ.i.ɚ/, anxiety /æŋˈzaɪ.əti/, explanation /ˌɛkspləˈneɪʃən/, potentially /pəˈtɛnʃ(ə)li/, psychological /ˌsaɪ.kəˈlɑː.d͡ʒɪ.kl̩/
Những âm người Việt thường gặp khó:
- Cụm phụ âm cuối — đọc đủ từng âm, đừng nuốt âm cuối: transform /tɹænsˈfɔɹm/, excitement /ɪkˈsaɪtmənt/, consequence /ˈkɑn.sɪ.kwəns/, embarrassed /ɪmˈbæɹ.əst/, embarrassment /ɪmˈbæɹ.əs.mənt/
- Âm /tʃ/, /dʒ/ và /ʒ/ — tiếng Việt không có, đừng đọc thành “ch” hay “gi”: pitch /pɪt͡ʃ/, psychological /ˌsaɪ.kəˈlɑː.d͡ʒɪ.kl̩/, privilege /ˈpɹɪv.(ɪ.)lɪd͡ʒ/, leverage /ˈlɛv.(ə.)ɹɪd͡ʒ/, hedge /ˈhɛd͡ʒ/
- Âm /æ/ — mở miệng rộng hơn âm “e”: anxiety /æŋˈzaɪ.əti/, transform /tɹænsˈfɔɹm/, embarrassed /ɪmˈbæɹ.əst/, clarity /ˈklæɹ.ɪ.ti/, embarrassment /ɪmˈbæɹ.əs.mənt/

Phương Pháp Shadowing Là Gì?
Shadowing là kỹ thuật học ngôn ngữ có cơ sở khoa học, ban đầu được phát triển cho chương trình đào tạo phiên dịch viên chuyên nghiệp và được phổ biến rộng rãi bởi nhà đa ngôn ngữ học Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Nguyên lý cốt lõi đơn giản nhưng cực kỳ hiệu quả: bạn nghe tiếng Anh của người bản xứ và lặp lại to ngay lập tức — như một "cái bóng" (shadow) đuổi theo người nói với độ trễ chỉ 1–2 giây. Khác với luyện ngữ pháp hay học từ vựng bị động, Shadowing buộc não bộ và cơ miệng phải đồng thời xử lý và tái tạo ngôn ngữ thực tế. Các nghiên cứu khoa học xác nhận phương pháp này cải thiện đáng kể phát âm, ngữ điệu, nhịp điệu, nối âm, kỹ năng nghe và độ lưu loát khi nói — đặc biệt hiệu quả cho người luyện IELTS Speaking và muốn giao tiếp tiếng Anh tự nhiên như người bản ngữ.
