1
So when I think about confidence, I first ground myself in the definition.
0:04.17 – 0:08.71 (4.5s)
2
Confidence is just the reliance or assurance that we believe in someone's abilities or qualities.
0:08.76 – 0:16.35 (7.6s)
3
But how do we know someone's abilities or qualities?
0:16.39 – 0:18.89 (2.5s)
4
How does anyone believe in mine?
0:18.93 – 0:21.31 (2.4s)
5
It's simply through actions.
0:21.35 – 0:23.35 (2.0s)
6
So the best way to drive and build confidence, whether we’re looking to hone it or build a reputation for it or encourage people to have it in us, is to drive action.
0:23.39 – 0:34.16 (10.8s)
7
Interestingly, many people think you need a lot of confidence to take bold action.
0:34.16 – 0:38.87 (4.7s)
8
I think the opposite is true.
0:38.87 – 0:40.75 (1.9s)
9
It’s action. Just getting comfortable with it over time.
0:40.74 – 0:43.87 (3.1s)
10
Doing more and better regularly.
0:43.91 – 0:46.08 (2.2s)
11
It's reps of action that drive confidence.
0:46.13 – 0:49.63 (3.5s)
12
And that action, and that confidence is what allows us to learn and grow.
0:49.67 – 0:53.38 (3.7s)
13
I'm someone who wants to continue to learn and grow.
0:53.42 – 0:56.39 (3.0s)
14
No matter how old I get, how many successes or challenges, how long I've been in a role or company, I want to get better.
0:56.43 – 1:04.06 (7.6s)
15
And you’re here, so I know you do, too.
1:04.10 – 1:06.48 (2.4s)
16
So the question is, what techniques or practices can help us cut through the challenges that are in our way to acting our way to confidence and growth.
1:06.48 – 1:15.36 (8.9s)
17
Many people believe some of the best actions are when we show up in tough times, and that's true.
1:15.36 – 1:19.99 (4.6s)
18
But it's almost easier to take bold action when things are hard.
1:19.99 – 1:23.04 (3.0s)
19
There aren't a lot of options.
1:23.04 – 1:24.79 (1.8s)
20
The more special muscle is the ability to coach ourselves to be greater, to do more, to be better, even when times are pretty good, and to recognize that complacency is a very real thing, and we are all blinded by our own progress.
1:24.83 – 1:39.89 (15.1s)
21
So one of the tools in my toolbox to drive action and confidence and growth is the ability to cut through that complacency.
1:39.93 – 1:47.39 (7.5s)
22
And I first learned this lesson from my mom.
1:47.44 – 1:51.11 (3.7s)
23
When I was nine years old, my mom came to me and said, "That's it, I'm done. We're leaving." And what she meant was we were leaving my father.
1:51.11 – 1:57.91 (6.8s)
24
My father was and is a very good man.
1:57.91 – 2:01.62 (3.7s)
25
But at the time, he was an alcoholic and a terrible husband and father.
2:01.62 – 2:05.66 (4.0s)
26
So when my mom came to me at the age of nine, I didn’t cry, and I didn’t get upset.
2:05.66 – 2:11.63 (6.0s)
27
I remember thinking, "What took you so long?
2:11.67 – 2:14.88 (3.2s)
28
Finally, it's about time." So often there are people around us just waiting on us to take the action, to do the thing, to do the right thing.
2:14.92 – 2:25.22 (10.3s)
29
And since then, I've been inspired to have practices that drive action over and over.
2:25.27 – 2:30.73 (5.5s)
30
Little ones every day, or bigger ones, like what my mom did that day.
2:30.73 – 2:35.48 (4.8s)
31
We did leave my dad.
2:35.49 – 2:36.78 (1.3s)
32
My mom fed us on a meager food budget, worked multiple jobs for many years, and over the course of my young life, I got to see her day-to-day example.
2:36.78 – 2:45.12 (8.3s)
33
Someone without resources, without a playbook.
2:45.12 – 2:47.66 (2.5s)
34
She had no coach. She had no one to mentor her through this experience.
2:47.71 – 2:52.42 (4.7s)
35
She just acted her way to growth and improvement over time.
2:52.46 – 2:56.80 (4.3s)
36
As a result of this childhood, I started working at a very young age.
2:56.84 – 3:00.09 (3.3s)
37
At 15, I worked in malls.
3:00.13 – 3:01.51 (1.4s)
38
At 17, I was a restaurant hostess, at 18, a waitress.
3:01.55 – 3:04.56 (3.0s)
39
At 19, I began my leadership journey, opening franchises around the world.
3:04.60 – 3:09.10 (4.5s)
40
By the age of 26, I was an executive in a very large company.
3:09.14 – 3:14.02 (4.9s)
41
And while I had fantastic supervisors and managers who helped me through my career, I lacked some of that outside-in perspective.
3:14.02 – 3:23.45 (9.4s)
42
The mentoring, the things that could help stretch me beyond my day-to-day job.
3:23.45 – 3:28.00 (4.5s)
43
So I started developing some self-coaching practices.
3:28.00 – 3:31.62 (3.6s)
44
And one day I heard from a restaurant consultant that you should sometimes imagine someone else in your role to help motivate you to take action.
3:31.67 – 3:40.26 (8.6s)
45
So I started doing that, and it helped.
3:40.30 – 3:42.30 (2.0s)
46
So I started thinking about people I admired, someone specific, and there was something about thinking of someone I admired that brought this element of additional capabilities and excellence.
3:42.34 – 3:53.48 (11.1s)
47
It also made me feel a little accountable to act on whatever came to mind.
3:53.48 – 3:58.40 (4.9s)
48
And these practices evolved into today what is the “hot shot rule.” The hot shot rule is simply this.
3:58.40 – 4:05.66 (7.3s)
49
It is the act of regularly thinking about my role, everything I have, the challenges, the opportunities, envisioning someone I admire in my role, asking myself what's one thing that person I admire would do differently to make that situation better, acting on it within 24 hours, and then -- that's not the last step -- telling those involved once things get put in motion.
4:05.66 – 4:30.02 (24.4s)
50
I say something like, "Hey, I could have or should have done this thing, but I didn't.
4:30.06 – 4:34.39 (4.3s)
51
And now we are..." And so let's practice it.
4:34.39 – 4:37.61 (3.2s)
52
So I think first of my role as a mother.
4:37.61 – 4:42.74 (5.1s)
53
I think of how I can be a better mom.
4:42.74 – 4:44.61 (1.9s)
54
I think of my role as daughter.
4:44.61 – 4:46.32 (1.7s)
55
I think of how I can be a better daughter, and I envision someone I admire.
4:46.32 – 4:49.91 (3.6s)
56
But often, and we're here to talk about work, I think about my professional role.
4:49.91 – 4:53.79 (3.9s)
57
So I think about my role as CEO of AG1.
4:53.83 – 4:57.00 (3.2s)
58
I have this incredible opportunity to be the leader of a phenomenal, foundational nutrition company with millions of customers who rely on us to empower their health journeys, and so many team members who rely on me to be my best.
4:57.04 – 5:10.35 (13.3s)
59
Our customers and my team deserve for me to be the best over time.
5:10.39 – 5:13.52 (3.1s)
60
Not comfortable because we've had multiple years of success, but always starting with that day one energy.
5:13.56 – 5:19.44 (5.9s)
61
Then I envision someone I admire.
5:19.44 – 5:21.44 (2.0s)
62
So I just met all of you, I think of you.
5:21.44 – 5:24.86 (3.4s)
63
Now I envision you in my seat tomorrow.
5:24.86 – 5:27.45 (2.6s)
64
I’m gone, and I’m just watching you in my role.
5:27.45 – 5:30.08 (2.6s)
65
And I ask, what's one thing and the first thing you would do differently to make the business better?
5:30.08 – 5:34.83 (4.8s)
66
And something comes to mind, something actionable.
5:34.87 – 5:37.38 (2.5s)
67
I take action on it within 24 hours, and then once it's in motion, I tell my team.
5:37.42 – 5:42.42 (5.0s)
68
Practicing the hot shot rule over time has led to things like flying to meet a business partner to hold them accountable when I had made excuses for them.
5:42.46 – 5:50.39 (7.9s)
69
Or calling someone to apologize or acknowledge a situation I could have handled better or differently.
5:50.43 – 5:56.10 (5.7s)
70
It's led to me thinking about someone who has recently lost a parent or a loved one and envisioning them in my role.
5:56.14 – 6:04.03 (7.9s)
71
And it’s led to me just picking up the phone and calling my mom, and saying, “I love you, and how are you?” It's led to me saying "thank you" to my husband for being a great partner.
6:04.03 – 6:12.95 (8.9s)
72
It's also led to me stopping initiatives in the company that I was allowing to perpetuate because things were just comfortable, but they were no longer serving the business.
6:12.95 – 6:22.46 (9.5s)
73
So that’s what the hot shot rule is.
6:22.50 – 6:24.38 (1.9s)
74
And you can use it as a technique in a time of need anytime.
6:24.42 – 6:27.88 (3.5s)
75
But its power lies in it being a regular, proactive practice.
6:27.93 – 6:32.18 (4.3s)
76
It used to be quarterly and then monthly, but now I practice it weekly.
6:32.22 – 6:35.73 (3.5s)
77
Every Sunday at 1pm, when my kids, now five and seven, used to have naps -- RIP naps -- (Laughter) I take just a minute for myself.
6:35.77 – 6:45.78 (10.0s)
78
I envision my role, I envision someone I admire.
6:45.78 – 6:48.82 (3.0s)
79
I ask myself, what's one thing they would do differently in my role.
6:48.82 – 6:52.08 (3.3s)
80
The answer comes to mind.
6:52.07 – 6:53.41 (1.3s)
81
I send the email, I schedule the flight, I put it in motion, and then once it's in motion, I tell my team.
6:53.41 – 6:58.79 (5.4s)
82
And over a year of practicing this weekly, a few things will happen.
6:58.83 – 7:02.04 (3.2s)
83
One, there are 52 things you've done that you otherwise might not have done or done as quickly.
7:02.08 – 7:06.97 (4.9s)
84
It builds a reputation of vulnerability and bias for action.
7:07.01 – 7:09.84 (2.8s)
85
My team brings things to me now because they know I'm constantly calling myself out.
7:09.88 – 7:14.76 (4.9s)
86
This practice has changed my life, and I believe it will change yours if you apply it.
7:14.81 – 7:20.10 (5.3s)
87
The idea of having a practice of reflection, intention and action to drive growth, to show up and do something we otherwise wouldn’t have, to break through complacency or past patterns is a superpower.
7:20.14 – 7:33.37 (13.2s)
88
So be like my mom.
7:33.37 – 7:35.20 (1.8s)
89
Don't let patterns of the past get in the way of doing something different tomorrow.
7:35.20 – 7:39.20 (4.0s)
90
Ask questions that help motivate action.
7:39.25 – 7:42.00 (2.8s)
91
And act your way into growth and confidence.
7:42.04 – 7:45.21 (3.2s)
92
Thank you. (Applause)
7:45.25 – 7:48.55 (3.3s)
关于本课
在这节引人入胜的课程中,我们将跟随TED演讲者Kat Cole的脚步,深入探讨“热门人物法则”(The “Hot Shot Rule”),学习如何通过行动而非等待自信来成为更优秀的领导者。Kat Cole分享了她从童年经历中汲取的宝贵教训,以及如何在没有外部指导的情况下,通过自我驱动和持续行动实现个人成长和职业突破。本视频内容非常适合进行英语口语练习,特别是关于领导力、自信建立和克服自满等话题的表达。
您将练习以下方面:
- 词汇主题: 领导力、个人发展、自信、行动力、挑战与机遇、自我提升。
- 语法模式: 表达因果关系、讲述个人经历、提出建议、描述假设情境。
- 口语场景: 分享个人观点、阐述理论、通过故事进行说服、进行自我反思和规划。
本课程不仅能帮助您提高英语流利度,还能为您提供思考如何持续学习和成长的全新视角。
重要词汇和短语
- ground myself in the definition: 使自己立足于定义;深入理解一个概念的本质。
- drive and build confidence: 推动和建立自信;积极地培养和增强自信。
- hone it: 磨练它;通过实践不断提高和完善某项技能或品质。
- cut through the challenges: 克服挑战;有效解决面临的困难。
- complacency is a very real thing: 自满是一种非常真实的存在;警示自满的普遍性和危险性。
- blinded by our own progress: 被自己的进步蒙蔽;因过去的成就而忽视潜在的问题或停止前进。

- self-coaching practices: 自我指导实践;通过自我反思和设定目标来提升自身能力的方法。
本视频练习技巧
为了最大化您的英语口语练习效果,请尝试以下跟读技巧:
- 语速与节奏: Kat Cole的语速中等偏快,但发音清晰,节奏感强。初学者可以先放慢语速,逐句模仿其发音和语调,然后逐渐加速,争取跟上她的自然节奏。这对于提升您的英语流利度非常有帮助。
- 发音与重音: 密切关注Kat Cole在词语和句子中的重音和语调变化,尤其是她在强调重要概念(如“action”、“confidence”、“complacency”)时。这对于改善您的发音练习和自然表达至关重要。
- 情感表达: Kat Cole在讲述个人故事时,语调富有感染力,充满真诚。尝试模仿她在讲述母亲经历和“热门人物法则”时的情感表达,这不仅能提升您的口语表现力,也能帮助您更好地理解和传递信息。
- 内容复述: 观看完一个段落后,暂停视频,尝试用自己的话复述该段落的核心观点和关键词。这不仅是很好的雅思口语Part 2和Part 3的练习,也能帮助您将新学到的词汇和短语内化。
- 应用与反思: 思考Kat Cole提出的“热门人物法则”如何应用到您的学习或工作中。尝试用英语描述您将如何实践这一法则,这将促使您进行批判性思维和个性化表达。
通过这些具体的跟读技巧,您不仅能提高英语水平,还能学习到宝贵的个人成长和领导力智慧。
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。
如何在ShadowingEnglish上有效练习
- 选择您的视频: 挑选一段语音清晰、自然的YouTube视频。TED演讲,BBC新闻,电影片段,播客或雅思口语范例都很好。将URL粘贴到搜索栏中。从较短的视频(短于5分钟)以及您真正感兴趣的内容开始——兴趣是最重要的导师。
- 先听,理解上下文: 第一次听的时候,将速度保持在1倍速并仅仅倾听。还不要尝试重复。专注于理解其含义,收集新词汇,并注意讲话人如何强调单词,连读声音及使用停顿。
- 设置跟读模式:
- 等待模式:选择
+3s或+5s——在每句话播放完毕后,视频会自动暂停以便您有时间大声重复它。如果您想完全控制并在每次重复后由您自己点击下一步,请选择手动。 - 字幕同步:YouTube字幕有时会在音频前或后略微出现。使用
±100ms使它们完美对齐以助您准确跟读。
- 等待模式:选择
- 大声跟读(核心练习): 这是真正发生改变的一步。当一个句子播放出来立刻——或在暂停期间——大声、清晰且自信地重复出来。千万不要只是张张嘴:要模仿说话者的准确节奏、重音、音高和连读。力求听上去就像说话者的影子,而不仅是逐字背诵。使用重复功能多次练习同一个句子,直到感觉自然为止。
- 提高难度: 当练习段落变得相对舒适后,就去挑战自我。将速度增加至 <code>1.25x</code> 或甚至 <code>1.5x</code> 以训练高速语言反射。或者将等待模式调整为 <code>关闭</code> 以进行连续跟读——这是最进阶同样收益最大的模式。持续的每日15–30分钟的练习将可以在几周内产生可见的效果。
