Transcriber: Glenny Lapaix Reviewer: Vivian Lim When I was in high school, my mom asked me to order a pizza for the family on a Friday night.
2
I looked up the number in the phone book and promptly handed the phone to my older brother to place the call.
3
I was too shy to talk to a stranger.
4
Fast-forward to college at the University of Illinois, my first time away from my small town.
5
I spent the first several weeks crying in my dorm room, too homesick to partake in early freshman partying.
6
The one frat party I did attend was so disappointing; I wanted to trade in my books, abandon my major and head back home to my small town.
7
The confident behaviors I needed to pursue this dream were not yet available.
8
And when I looked around at the confident students walking around me on campus, heads held high, pursuing a dream that they had set out to achieve, I wanted that kind of confidence too.
9
But my behaviors did not align with these confident attitudes.
10
Crying in my dorm room, shying away from social engagement, not showing up for class because I was worried others were smarter than me - these were not going to lead me to achieve my goal.
11
So all I knew was that I needed to change.
12
Research tells us that in order to get people to change, you need to not start with the attitudes, but with the behaviors associated with those attitudes.
13
When people can see themselves behaving differently, they then begin to act differently.
14
So the questions for me were, “Who am I?” “Who do I want to become?” and “How does this person I want to become behave?” The answers were that I wanted a successful career, one that meant something, allowed me to contribute.
15
And for me, that was defined as a career as a sports executive.
16
In order to achieve this goal, I needed to begin to act more confidently.
17
And I did. Because 13 years later, I became the first female general manager of a Triple-A baseball team in nearly 20 years.
18
(Cheers) Thank you.
19
(Applause) I also went on to host the “Leadership is Female” podcast, where I’ve interviewed over 90 female executives in sports, an industry that’s over 80% male at management level and above.
20
And time after time, these women have told me that the number one skill they’ve improved in order to earn their spot at the top of the sports industry is confidence.
21
They, like me, did not possess this confidence necessary to increase their level in their career from the get-go.
22
They had to work on the behaviors associated with this attitude in order to propel their career forward.
23
So I’m here today to share with you six behaviors you can start today to increase your confidence.
24
Why is it important to increase our confidence?
25
Well, think of this: How would you behave or what could you achieve if you were 10 times more confident?
26
Number one, count yourself in.
27
I spoke with a woman about her first time doing sideline reporting at a nationally televised basketball game.
28
She was shaking in her heels, standing courtside, nerves overtaking her until she heard something familiar in her headset.
29
“We’ll be on in five, and three, two, one, you’re live.” And she performed with excellence.
30
The nerves melted away.
31
She’s an athlete, a former basketball player used to performing on the court by the clock.
32
And the tactic remained true.
33
Counting will get you started, and momentum will keep you going.
34
I have used this technique.
35
I’ve had more uncomfortable conversations than I care to recall, but one I’ll share with you today.
36
I vividly remember standing on the warning track of the baseball field 45 minutes before game time, looking at the opposing manager and his team wearing the wrong color uniform.
37
I wanted to turn and run back up to my office and hide.
38
But instead, faced him head-on, and I said in my mind, “Three, two, one, go.” And I started walking towards him.
39
And when I arrived, we had a very uncomfortable conversation about his team wearing the wrong color uniform.
40
Yes, I had to ask these grown men to change their clothes.
41
It was so awkward.
42
But when I asked myself, “Who am I? And how do I behave?” The answer was that I’m a person who’s not too shy to stand up for what I believe, what is right and stand up to conflict.
43
Counting got me started, and momentum kept me going.
44
Number two, what if you only had to be brave for a total of 20 seconds?
45
Give yourself 20 seconds of courage.
46
This behavior helped me enormously when I published my podcast “Leadership is Female,” bold title and all, for all the world to see, hear, critique and have their opinions.
47
I vividly remember sitting on the carpet of my closet floor, holding my computer, looking at the “Upload” button, thinking to myself, “Does it need any more edits? Should I listen to it one more time?” And I told myself, “Emily, give yourself 20 seconds of courage.” And I hit “Publish,” and it was done.
48
And guess what?
49
I kept breathing, and the world kept turning.
50
And the podcast grew into what it was meant to be.
51
All because of 20 seconds of courage.
52
Number three, take a seat at the table.
53
Not metaphorically speaking; actually, take a seat at the table.
54
I spoke with a woman who represents some of the biggest names in baseball, and she told me a story about taking a seat at the table.
55
She noticed women waiting around the edges of the room, waiting for the seats to be filled.
56
And worse yet, she was doing it too.
57
In order to become the more confident woman that she envisioned herself to be, she needed to go in, sit down, speak her mind and get the deal done.
58
That started with one simple action: Taking a seat at the table.
59
Number four, cheer for other people’s success.
60
They say that women will pull up the ladder behind them.
61
What if you didn’t?
62
What if you extended a hand back to lead her forward?
63
What if you celebrated the success of a colleague rather than feeling sorry for yourself that it was not you accepting the accolades?
64
Confident people celebrate the success of others rather than feeling threatened.
65
Think of this great quote from Amy Poehler: “Good for her, not for me.” It turns that pit in your stomach of “Oh, she did that? And I’m still here.” into “Yes! Good for her! Not for me.” This is her celebration, not mine.
66
And when my time comes, isn’t it going to be great to have the support of so many people around me?
67
Wins are so much better celebrated together.
68
Join in; cheer someone else on.
69
Here’s number four in action: Recently, a woman was promoted to chief marketing officer of a major sports league.
70
The offer to interview and ultimately land the job came after her public celebration and sincere congratulatory outreach to the newly named female league president.
71
Confident people support those around them.
72
Cheer for someone else’s success.
73
Number five, bolster your confidence for a new activity through your already great performance in another.
74
What are you really good at?
75
What is easier today than it was one year ago?
76
What is your most proud accomplishment?
77
Answer those questions. Think about those answers.
78
Those answers are where your confidence is born.
79
Confidence is born in all we’ve already done and already achieved.
80
Recently, a woman I interviewed on the “Leadership is Female” podcast was going after a big, big promotion at a top team.
81
Before she went in to pitch to her boss, she reviewed her current job description, made notes of her accolades in all areas mentioned, and then was prepared with examples and the confidence of the success she had in the past.
82
She got the promotion.
83
Use your prior success to propel yourself forward.
84
And number six, celebrate constantly.
85
How often do we reach our goals and then just immediately move on?
86
When we do this, the recollection of that success is diminished.
87
How can we confidently move forward if we can’t remember what we achieved, or worse yet, link that accomplishment to stress?
88
Find ways to celebrate that are meaningful to you, like creating a highlight reel on your cell phone of your most proud accomplishments.
89
Take your team out for celebratory drinks when you close the big deal.
90
Buy yourself a massage or maybe order a pizza when you reach your personal goals.
91
It doesn’t matter how you celebrate; it matters that you do.
92
This will create a marker in your brain to rewire and reinforce the behaviors that led to success in the first place.
93
I’ve come a long way from the girl who couldn’t order a pizza to the woman who became GM of a minor league baseball team, started a podcast and delivered a TEDx talk.
94
All because I made the decision to become a more confident person.
95
And I hope you do too.
96
Because how many runs could you score if you were 10 times more confident?
97
Thank you. (Applause) (Cheers)

背景与上下文
在这段TEDx演讲中，Emily Jaenson分享了她如何克服自信缺乏，从而在职业生涯中取得成功的经历。她回忆起上高中时的害羞与不安，以及在伊利诺伊大学的独处感。Emily的故事提醒我们，通过改变行为，可以更有效地增强自信。她强调了培养自信的重要性，并分享了六种行为来提升自我信心。这些教训不仅有助于职场发展，也适用于日常生活中的各个方面。
日常沟通中的五个重要短语
- “我能做到！” - 这一短语可以用来提醒自己在面对挑战时的信心。
- “给我20秒的勇气。” - 这是激励自己在短时间内行动的有效方法。
- “我会面对它。” - 提醒自己勇敢面对困难和不安的态度。
- “无限的可能性。” - 鼓励自己相信未来的潜能和机遇。
- “我值得这个机会。” - 让自己在各种情境下都能保持自我价值的认知。
逐步跟读指南
要充分利用Emily的演讲进行英语学习，尤其是提升口语能力，可以遵循以下步骤进行影子跟读（shadowing）练习：
- 选择视频片段：建议从Emily的演讲开始，关注她的语调和表达。
- 初次观看：观看一遍完整视频，了解演讲的主题和内容，这样会有助于后续练习。
- 分段练习：将演讲分为小段，重复听每个片段，注意Emily的发音和语气。
- 模仿发音：一边播放音频，一边大声跟读，尽量让自己的发音和节奏与之相近。
- 反复练习：如果遇到困难的句子，暂停并倒带多次重复，直到你感到顺畅。
通过这种方式，不仅可以提高英语口语能力，还能增强自信。记住，“看YouTube学英语”不仅是获取知识，还能通过模仿学习语言的运用。结合雅思口语练习和英语影子跟读，定能让你的英语水平更进一步。
什么是跟读法？
跟读法 (Shadowing) 是一种有科学依据的语言学习技巧，最初开发用于专业口译员的培训，并由多语言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。这个方法简单而强大：您在听英语母语原声的同时立即大声重复——就像是一个延迟1-2秒紧跟说话者的影子。与被动听力或语法练习不同，跟读法强迫您的大脑和口腔肌肉同时处理并模仿真实的讲话模式。研究表明它能显着提高发音准确性，语调，节奏，连读，听力理解和口语流利度——使其成为雅思口语备考和真实英语交流最有效的方法之一。
