### Segment 1 (00:00 - 05:00) []

You're about to learn how to speak like a CEO, leader in 2026. I imagine you've had this goal for a long time, but you haven't quite hit it. What I have here are all the lessons from the thousands of students that we have trained this year from our coaching, from our programs, from our master classes, and I've listed down some of the biggest lessons that will save you months, if not years on your journey to learning to speak with confidence. And if you don't know who I am, my name is Yaser Khan. I'm a CEO, speech coach, and I travel around the world teaching executives to speak with confidence, clarity, and credibility. Here we go. Number one, I've got about nine of these. The first one is Confidence comes from evidence. Now, a lot of people when they join our programs, the first thing they tell us, Yaser, I want to speak more confidently. I want to be more confident. And I'll ask them, how do you know when you are confident? Will you just wake up one day and hey, all of a sudden, I have achieved confidence. Do you even know what confidence is? How would you define it? And whenever I ask this question, they never really have a good answer. They don't quite know what it is to speak with confidence. So, let's describe that first. For me, speaking confidently means you trust your ability to communicate clearly and achieve the objective of your communication. So, if you open your mouth and you say something for whatever purpose, whether it's say a job interview, a client meeting, you feel like there's a very good likelihood that when you open your mouth, you're going to do a reasonably good job. Now, why do a lot of people not feel confident? If you think about it, the brain needs a reason to believe that you are likely to get a certain outcome. If you have never played the guitar and I handed you a guitar and I put you on stage and I said, "Hey, just be confident. " Will it work? Obviously not. Because your brain simply does not have any evidence. It has never seen you perform. play the guitar. It has nothing to tap into to show you that you can do it confidently. So you have no evidence. Similarly, for a lot of people who are about to step into a presentation, go into a speaking engagement, they don't feel confident because they have no evidence. So maybe you've never practice your speaking, which is most people. We speak every day, but we don't consciously practice it. But when you're thinking about a specific speaking engagement, you can be specifically confident for that speaking engagement. So let's say you have a 20-minut presentation, okay? And for that presentation, the night before you just threw some slides together. The next morning you showed up and you just got on stage and you started presenting in front of 500 people. How much evidence do you have that you can do this confidently? Not a lot of evidence at all. So this is why you'll be anxious. This is why you don't quite know what's going to happen because you feel uncertainty. You don't have no evidence. Take the same exact situation. Now, instead of preparing the night before, you prepared the slides weeks in advance. You said the words out loud over and over again till if I wake you up, if I woke you up in the middle of your sleep, you could just say it. Now, when you get to the venue, your brain already knows, hey, you've done those 15 rehearsals start to finish. You know this inside out. You don't have a lot to worry about because you have evidence. You have confidence. So confidence requires evidence. And look at any athlete in the world. Do you think they step on court? the field without warming up, without having done rigorous practice before getting there? Of course not. But this is what we do with public speaking. We never do it. Then we just show up and we think, "Why don't I have confidence? " Maybe because your brain has no reason to believe it. So give your brain some reason. Do rehearsal. Say the words out loud. Prepare. Make yourself believe I have done it before. I can do it again. And for perspective for my TEDex talk, I prepared about a month and a half in advance. It was a 20 minute talk and I did the entire thing about 140 times start to finish. So, I got to that level where I couldn't wait to get on stage and just get it over with because I didn't want to rehearse one more time. I was so sick and tired of it. But I had probably the most confidence in that moment than at any other moment because I knew every single thing I was going to say. It was just ingrained in my body. So, lesson number one, confidence comes from evidence.

### Segment 2 (05:00 - 10:00) [5:00]

Lesson two, You are not special. Now, this might sound harsh, but this is what I mean. When I step on stage, I am terrified. I am nervous. I know this sounds like the opposite of what I just said. If I am doing a 4hour workshop, if I'm doing a full day workshop, if I'm speaking to a highlevel celebrity client, I get nervous because I know there's some pressure and I want to impress them even though I don't want to think about that, but it tends to happen. But I know it's normal to feel that way. Feeling pressure is normal. Feeling stressed out and important situations is normal. However, when I started, I did not think that was the case. I thought the vast majority of people just never feel nervous. They're never stressed out. So, I thought I was some special case. Yaser, whatever is working for these people, it's not going to work for you because you have that thing, right, where you're really anxious and these people don't get anxious. So, whatever techniques they're using, they're not going to work on you. In other words, you are special. Your problem is special. And the bad news is you are not special. Just about everyone else goes through the exact same thing that you are going through. everyone and I can tell you because we work with thousands of executives even at the very top level in fact those people feel even more nervous because now they're a role model they're leading a company a lot of people look up to them and they have to speak and live up to all those expectations so a lot of my students who join and they want to overcome their fear of public speaking they think there's something wrong with them that they have some disease Why am I experiencing this? I don't want to feel this. How do I get rid of this? I had this feeling. No one else understands it. No, you're not special. I experience it. You experience it. Every athlete that steps on the field, gets on the court, they experience pressure. Managing pressure is a skill in itself and it is normal. So, a lot of things that we think are not normal are actually part of the process. A lot like if you went to the gym and you started lifting weights and you start sweating and you say, "Why am I sweating? I don't want to sweat. Something's wrong with me. " No, it's just part of the process. If you're working out rigorously, you're going to sweat. But because we don't know it's part of the process, we think there's something wrong with us and we think we need some miracle cure. So, if you're afraid of public speaking or if you stutter or if you speak too fast or you don't quite know what to say when you're on the spot, maybe you get frazzled in the moment, you're not special. It happens to everyone. And the price of entry is practice, which let's face it, if you had these issues, just go back and think, how much have I practiced? And most people can tell you, yeah, I went to a public speaking meeting. I went there once a month for about two months and never did it again. Well, that isn't really enough practice, right? It's like saying, I went to the gym twice a year. Why don't I have a six-pack? So, you are not special. That is lesson number two. Number three, see it with your own eyes. Hear ears. A lot of times when we are training our students, we try not to train them to expect feedback from us. You might think, wait, what do you mean? You're a coach. That's the whole point. What happens is a lot of them don't want to see how they speak. They don't want to listen to how they sound because it feels uncomfortable in their body. So they figure, okay, I'm going to hire a coach. this coach will just tell me what to do and I will do it. But there is a huge gap in your understanding of what to fix if you can't see it with your own eyes. So, for example, here here's a weird analogy, but go with me here. Let's say you have spinach in your teeth. Okay? And I tell you, hey, you've got spinach in your teeth. Now, you're thinking, "Oh, I've got spinach. I didn't even know there was spinach. Where is it? " Now, you start poking around your teeth and I say, "Oh, a little bit to the left. " And you're like, "No, no, no. That's too much to the a little to the right. No, up. Now, I'm just trying to guide you and it's taking forever to you to really find the issue, right? It's going to take a long time. But if I said, "Hey, there's spinach in your teeth. " And I just put a mirror in front of you, you will know exactly where that spinach is lodged in your teeth, and you will immediately take it out. You won't even need my advice. It's because you saw it

### Segment 3 (10:00 - 15:00) [10:00]

with your own eyes. Similarly, when you are learning to speak, you know how you speak. You know better than any other coach will know because that's how you've spoken your whole life. So the moment someone points out, hey, when I ask you how many ums and you have, you told me you don't really say them very often. I'm not going to tell you how many you have. I just want you to watch this video of yourself and I want you to just count how many ums and os you have. When you watch that, you will develop such an innate understanding of precisely where you say um and uh why you say it and how you can stop it. So for example, most of my students they will say um and uh when they don't know what the next thing is. So if I ask them to read something from a book, they can just read it. They will have no issue with it because they know what the next thing is and they will not say um and uh but if they don't know what to say next, uh yeah. So, uh, what's the next thing that I want? Now, the ums and uh will come up. So, when they watch themselves, they realize, oh, I always say it at the end of the sentence or when I don't know what to say. All right, now I'm aware. Next time when I speak at the end of the sentence, I'm just going to stop there and pause, think about what I want to say, and then I'm going to say the next thing. So, I don't need to explain every single thing about how they speak because they can solve their own problems. And what this does because you're not relying on a coach, you can then fix yourself real time because when you're presenting on stage, when you're in a meeting, it's just you. There's no one else there to help you. So, you need to develop that self-awareness. So when you watch yourself, when you hear yourself, you can correct yourself and you can do that in every single conversation. That is what accelerates your progress because you are constantly making changes. Whereas if you're working with a coach, you'll work with them for an hour one week, then next week. In the middle, you have no awareness of all of your conversations. You're not making any adjustments. So see it with your own eyes. hear ears. That is lesson number three. Lesson number four, deadlines are everything. People that we work with, they have had the goal, and I'm sure if you're watching this, you have had the goal of becoming a better speaker for weeks, months, years, even decades. In fact, many of the executives that join our boot camp, they've been wanting to do this since they were in their 20s, and now they're in their 50s and 60s, but they just never got around to doing it. And this really is the story. Most people live the same month, the same few weeks over and over again. They make the same excuses I'll do it when the kids grow up. I'm not so busy anymore. I'll right now I'm focusing on my fitness. I'm joining this. So the time never arrives because there's no deadline. There's no consequence. So you don't wait for the perfect time to commit. You commit first and then the perfect time arrives. Right? So if I tell you, hey, pay for this program right now. The moment you've paid, you committed. Now you have to show up. You will find a way to show up. But if you say, you know what, let me wait for the entire universe to be perfectly in line. I'll check my horoscope. I'm going to ask my parents what they think, I'm going to sit on it and meditate for a bit and then once I wake up one day and I finally find the time, then I will join. This is why it takes people decades because they think and think and they watch videos all day every day, but they never do it because there's no deadline. So, if you are serious about developing your skills, there has to be a deadline. And the deadline has to be when you are most inspired to see it. So let's say you're watching this video right now and you're thinking, "hm, this Yaser guy, he's making a lot of sense. I really want to work on my speaking. " Well, first of all, you can go join my free master class down below. You will see how we help people speak like a CEO in 10 days or less. You will get backtoback proof and you'll be inspired to join one of our programs and we can help you, too. So that's one thing you can do. or two, just find a way to practice every single day. But do it now because right now is when you're inspired. The next video you will watch is some monkey jumping off a tree or someone washing their clothes in a satisfying way. I don't know if there's all types of things on the internet nowadays, but you will forget immediately. One thing to the next thing, and the next thing you know, the

### Segment 4 (15:00 - 20:00) [15:00]

priority is gone. And 6 months later, you will be back watching these videos again. So, give yourself a hard deadline. I need to do this right now. I'll give you a weird example of how I fixed my goal of quitting sugar. I was addicted to sugar. And I always kept telling myself, "Yeah, yeah, yeah. Eventually, I'll quit. Eventually, I'll quit. " I got the idea. I went to my partner and I said, "Listen, I'm going to give you I forgot what the exact amount of money was. Let's just say a,000 bucks. I'm going to give you $1,000. My goal is not to eat any sugar for 30 days. If you see me order anything, eat any refined sugar or cookies, you keep the thousand bucks. I don't get them back. But if I go all 30 days and I don't have the sugar, I can get that money back. Now, the trick is to invest first. Otherwise, you would always negotiate because you haven't lost anything. So, then you win it back, right? And then I quit sugar because I really wanted that $1,000 back. And that 30 days actually turned into two whole years without any refined sugar. So this is the power of committing. So you set yourself a deadline and if you can by joining a program, hiring a coach, whatever it is, because then you can't back out. Don't wait for the perfect moment. Number five, low expectations equals high resilience. High expectations equal low resilience. This is a quote by the CEO of Nvidia, Jensen Huang. I personally think it's a brilliant quote, which means people who are learning a skill, if they have very high expectations right away, they don't stick to it for very long. So, let's give let me give you an example. Early on, years ago, when we had our boot camp students join, the ones that would get the worst results were the ones who had never learned a skill before, they didn't know what goes into learning a skill. And they were also the people who expected the most in a very little time. So, let's say you were terrified of speaking. You can't even speak in front of your team. You can't even open your mouth. there's so much that even that needs to be done to get you to the starting point. So, because they don't know what progress looks like, they'll practice for one day and oh, this is not working. I thought I was going to get better. I've been practicing for two days, nothing is working. They don't realize how much work it really takes to unlearn your speaking behaviors and relearn new speaking behaviors. So because they had very high expectations, they had very low resilience, meaning they don't stick to it. But if you're someone who has very low expectations, hey, I'm just going to show up to Yasa's boot camp every single day. I'm going to do what he's telling me to do. I don't care if I make progress or not. I'm just going to follow it. I know I'm going to get better eventually. low expectations, high resilience, meaning you will stay in the process for much longer. And that is ultimately what will lead you to success. If someone sprints and they gas out in the first two minutes of a marathon, are they going to complete the marathon? No. But if you know the expectation, hey, I don't have to sprint right away. I can slowly walk and slowly run, but I just have to do it for a long time. eventually I'll get to my destination. You're going to be happy with it, right? So, with learning a new skill, especially one like speaking and learning a language or learning tennis or learning an instrument, your expectations have to be very low. And that's why when we start with our students, the first thing we do is set expectations because if we say, "Hey, if you start speaking by tomorrow, you'll sound like Tony Robbins or Bnee Brown. " They'll be, "Oh, wow. This is amazing. " And even though they're making progress, they will be disappointed. I have seen people who've made progress in two to three days. Mind you, for 40 years of their life, they spoke a certain way. And in 3 days, there's a drastic change, but because now they're not some award-winning motivational speaker, in 3 days, they're actually disappointed. So, this was a failure on my part. I did not establish expectations clearly enough with them. I gave them a recipe for low resilience. So now I tell them, listen, this is going to be an incredibly hard program. You're going to need 10 days of undivided commitment. You're going to hate me every single day and you will need more discipline than anything you have done in your entire life. But it will work. If you are down for that, then join the 10day CEO speaking boot camp. And when they have those expectations, when they join, they know what's required. They

### Segment 5 (20:00 - 25:00) [20:00]

know they're not going to just join and wake up and immediately they can speak better. So have low expectations. So you have high resilience. Number six, never stop doing the basics. This is a funny one. We had a student just in our past boot camp and she said, "I can't believe I paid you guys to teach me what I already knew how to do, but I'm not mad because I got the result I wanted. " So, if I didn't hear that second part of the comment, I would have been nervous. But she said, "I already knew everything. I just didn't know how long I needed to do it or how consistently it. " A lot of people think because they're not an amazing speaker, they need some closely guarded technique that's locked in a vault somewhere. And when you finally unlock that technique, oh, this is the thing that will change your life. No, it's just about doing the basics. Never stop doing the basics. So, if you want to stop saying um and ah, the answer is always going to be to become aware that you're saying it, replace it with a pause, and know what you have to say next. Does that sound like a groundbreaking technique to you? It is not. However, most people just don't consistently do it. They watch your video. Oh, yeah. That's what I'm supposed to do. Scroll. Buy this new washing machine. Scroll. Here's a cat playing with a dog. immediately it's gone. So it's buried in the back of your mind. But my job as a coach is to make you do it and every single day. So a big belief that I have to break for a lot of my students is don't come here expecting some amazing technique because there isn't one. There isn't some shortcut. Now obviously there are some shortcuts and instead of working on 12 things individually you can work on one skill set that helps you with all of those things. Those types of things come from experience. So when we've coached thousands of people we know how to do that but there's nothing revolutionary. In fact so when we do our boot camps every day is a 90inut session with our students. The first five to maybe 10 minutes is me explaining the technique, demonstrating the technique, and getting them to do it. 10 minutes. The other 80 minutes is a mix of different exercises to practice that technique, talking to other members on the Zoom about that technique, and just doing it over and over again. And people are always surprised. Yaser, whenever I join a public speaking class, if it's a three-hour class, for two hours, I'm taking notes, I speak for maybe two minutes, and then I come back the next week, 7 days later, and then I wonder, hm, are you getting more speaking practice or is your instructor getting more speaking practice? Who's supposed to be speaking more? And it's just a, wow, I never thought about that. So this is why I'm trying to change how speaking training is done. I would love to share techniques with you but you don't need them. You need to speak. I need to speak less. So never stop doing the basics. And that is number six. Number seven is what I call well I don't call it let's call it the tipping point. Okay the tipping point. The tipping point is this moment in your learning journey when you see the first milestone big change. So let me tell you a story. One of our recent students she had terrible speaking anxiety. In the first few days we are teaching her to be more aware of her speaking and the more aware she becomes the more discouraged she gets. So, for example, day one she realizes she speaks really fast. Day two she realizes she's not really moving her body at all. She's completely frozen and her eyes are all over the place. Day three, she realizes she's completely monotone. So, every day as she's becoming more aware, she's also becoming more and more insecure. Now, I know everything that I'm doing wrong. And she sends us a message. I'm feeling really discouraged today at work. I didn't talk at all because I was ashamed of opening my mouth. I think this is actually making me worse. Now, we know this. It's a lot like when you go to the gym, you first break down your muscle. You're actually literally getting smaller because you're

### Segment 6 (25:00 - 30:00) [25:00]

damaging your muscle. But then you eat, you sleep, and your body starts to repair it. and then your muscles get bigger. That's the process. So you have to break it down first. So similarly with speaking, you have to first become aware of what issue you're fixing. If you have no idea what you're fixing, you can't just do endless repetition because you don't know what problem you're solving. So we knew that this was a part of the process, right? But she did not know that. Even though we remind them, she was not aware of that. So we said, "Listen, all I want you to do day one to day five, just show up every single day. Eventually, you will hit that tipping point where your brain has gone through enough of it. You might not be seeing all [snorts] the individual changes in your speech. But rest assured, your brain is making all those connections. You can't see them. A lot like when you plant a seed, first it grows the roots into the ground and then it starts to grow up top. " Similarly, right now you're only planting the roots. You can't see it on the top. So, keep going. Sure enough, the next day, all of it comes together. She learns to express herself. Her body starts moving. She starts getting really good feedback in the breakout rooms, and it's a night and day difference. Night. And from that moment on, she could not have been more excited. She's recommending it to everyone, and it just completely changed her life. But what if she had given up right before that tipping point? Most people in most programs never get to that tipping point. You know why? So, our program is structured in 10 days. I feel like I'm doing a giant ad here, but these are the only example I can give you. Our program is structured in 10 days. And it's every single day, not every other day. Every single day for 10 days straight, 90 minutes. So, it's quite a commitment, but that's why it works. Most classes are show up on a Monday for 3 hours, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, do something else, go watch TV, get completely distracted, lose motivation, and then when you come back the next week, hey, we're not learning what we did last week, we're doing something completely new, and then the next week completely new, and new. So, you have one week to lose motivation, lose motivation. And it takes so much time to make progress because you're not revisiting techniques. You're just relearning or learning new things every single week because the instructor wants to teach you a curriculum. Right? So this is why most people never hit that tipping point because to learn a skill, you must do something over and over again. You don't do it once and then never do it again. But this is what most public speaking classes are like. You show up one week for 3 hours. You listen to the instructor talking about body language. You get to speak for maybe 60 seconds. Hey, next week we're switching to how to present data on a slide. That's not how you learn. Imagine trying to learn tennis and they teach you how to do a serve and then you never learn again. You literally never do the serve ever after that. Wouldn't that be stupid? Well, that's how a lot of classes are laid out because they're not structured for transformation. They're structured for information. So, what we try to do is structure it for information for transformation. So, for transformation, you must reach a tipping point and reach it early on. So, when you reach it, you feel like, oh, I have seen a little bit of progress. Now, I believe this works. Let me continue. Now, I'm motivated. If it takes you four weeks to see a little bit of improvement, by that time your motivation has died out. You don't want to do it again. keep coming back. So this is why it's in your interest to do something in a short span of time, in an intense span of time, so you can see proof of your improvement and then you can tone it down. So don't stop before you hit your tipping point. Number eight, it's I used to think it was 50% mental and 50% repetition and skill set. I have changed that number. It's 80% mental and it's 20% skill. Here's an example. Let's say I [snorts] tell you on the other side of the street is a $100 bill. If you cross the street, you can go and pick up a $100 bill. What you would do is you would walk across the street and you would pick up the $100 bill and you would be $100 richer. But what if you didn't believe there was a $100 bill on the other side? How motivated would you be to cross the street? Now imagine it's not cross the street. you have to get in your car and go

### Segment 7 (30:00 - 35:00) [30:00]

there. Probably wouldn't do it, would you? Much less likely. So, most people, they just don't believe that the journey will get them to where they want to go. They don't believe So, I tell them, hey, if you just practice every single day, you're going to get better. They know that, but they don't believe it because they've never done it before. They've never seen what progress can do. So, hypothetically, if I told you wanted to learn French and you can't speak French already, I said, "All I want you to do every single day, show up. I'm going to teach you French for 90 minutes and in 10 days, you're going to become much better at French. All I want you to do is listen to what I say. Do not question anything, and just show up every single day. If you did nothing, if you did not ask any questions, doubt the process, you just showed up to the lessons in 10 days, you will speak significantly more French than you did on day zero, right? So, all you had to do was just practice every single day. But what gets in the way? The mind gets in the way. Because a lot of people, especially those like me who had or have low self-esteem, they cannot seem to detach learning a skill from their identity. If they are learning it fast, they feel like their worth, their self-worth is high. If they're not learning fast enough, they get frustrated and upset at themselves. Why am I not getting this? Why is this not happening? This is not working for me. I'm just not a good public speaker. And they get discouraged. So if you just remove those doubts, the self-judgment, the only thing between you and where you need to go is just practice. That's all it is. So that's not the difficult part. That's the 20%. Take this technique and do it. So if I told you your only goal is to remove your filler words, okay? Every single day, I want you to speak on your phone, watch yourself back, count how many times you say amen, then do it again, then do it again. You will become so aware of where you say amen. In 24 hours, 48 hours, most of your ums and will be completely gone. We see this quite typically. But what happens? You do it for one day. Oh, this is so hard. Oh my god, that's what I sound like. Oh my god, I don't want to do this anymore. And then we get discouraged. So this is why I used to think if I structure my program in a way where this is the technique, do the technique and the technique will work. I don't want to waste time on inspiration, motivation. I was completely wrong. Telling people what to do is the easy part. Getting them to do it, that's the hard part. Telling them part. And that is where you need to learn how to inspire people, motivate people. We know in our 10day boot camp, day three, day four, and day six and seven, that's when we usually see the biggest drop off because three and four is the hardest part of the boot camp where they're thinking, "Oh my god, this is not working. I've been doing this for three days. I'm not Tony Robbins yet. going on. So, we have to give them inspiring stories, motivational stories. Tell them, "Listen, I know it's hard. You're on the right path. " Day six and seven, that's your Saturday and Sunday. They're not in our Zoom session. I'm not there to motivate them. They're by themselves with their thoughts. I have to send them emails and motivate them. So, I've learned a lot of my job is managing mindset, is just managing mindset. So I say to my clients, I'm not your instructor. I'm your CMO. I'm your chief motivational officer. It's my job to make sure the train stays on the track. The moment the train is off the track, it is my job to bring it back on track. And sure enough, we have a lot of trains that go off track. I have to bring them on. Bring That's the real job. So anyone can instruct and inform. You don't have to be an amazing public speaker to do that. Chat GPT can do that. But it's a skill to speak in a way where people feel something. They feel inspired. They listen to you and they want to do something after listening to you. That's the skill. So 80% of learning communication skills is actually mental. And 20% of it is a skill. You know what to do. You just have to do it over and over again.

The last one. Number nine. You don't need more techniques. You need to do the same technique more times. This once again is a very difficult concept to grasp for a lot of people starting off even though it sounds simple because the way the education system is set up it's set up to bombard you with information right you show up you learn this concept here's this diagram 43% of people do this I see these podcasts where they share these public speaking and communication tips 42% of people when they do this with their finger finger, they are seen as more confident. Or if one eyebrow is up like this, then they are more trustworthy. I'm sure there's some evidence to it. But when you're in a conversation, when you're on stage, how many of these tips do you remember to use? And how significant are they really? Are you going to be on stage? Let's say you're on stage or you're in a meeting and you're looking at 50 people, 20 people, 500 people. Are you going to be thinking about 45 different techniques? What to do with your hands? legs? What to do with your eyes? Where to look? At the same time, paying attention to the audience and doing crowd work at the same time paying attention to your curriculum. At the same time, managing time and inspiring you. Your brain cannot juggle that many things, right? So, education is so focused on throwing information at you. Whereas the real skill is not throwing information. It's knowing what information to hold back. There's a time and place for information. So if you deliver a speech and I'm giving you feedback and I give you 14 things to change, you are going to be overwhelmed and you won't know what to fix in which order. But if I said, "Yes, you have many things to improve. Only focus on this one thing. This will get you 80% of the way there. Now you know what to focus on. And because there are some techniques for our students, slowing down, enunciating the words, using their body, when they just do that, a lot of other things just line up. They just line automatically. So for example, if they move their hands, they move in a controlled fashion with their hands, automatically they'll start pausing. automatically they'll start talking louder. But if I said, "Hey, do this with your hands and talk louder and slow down and inunciate. " Now they have to focus on six different things at the same time while also thinking about what to say. They're not going to be able to do it. So you don't need more techniques in your mind. You just need to figure out what are the one or two things that make the biggest difference for you. So maybe slowing down and giving yourself time to think will make the biggest difference for you. Do that until it becomes second nature. Okay, great. Now I can slow down. I can structure my thoughts. Now let me focus on adding some variety. So I don't talk in a monotone way. Now you focus on just that. That becomes second nature. Then you move on to something else. This is how you build a skill set. Not doing everything all at once. So don't go around Tik Tok and Instagram just absorbing every single technique you can find. I promise you the next public speaking video, if you watch any of my channel, pick one technique that's important to you and just practice that and nothing else for a week and I promise you, you'll make more progress than you would have in the last 10 years. Okay, before I list everything down, if you are finding this valuable, I host a twohour live master class where I show you case studies of my own clients, what issues they had, and I'm sure many of them are very similar to yours. They ramble. They don't know how to speak on the spot. They're afraid of speaking. They don't quite know how to structure their thoughts and sound interesting. I'll show you where they were, how they used our methods, and how on the other side they completely changed in 10 days or less. Because that really is my company's specialty. We help people transform in 10 days or less. By far the fastest of any program on the planet. Nothing even comes close to the results that you will see from our students in 10 days or less. So, if you're interested, click the link in the bio, register there, and I'll see you in the master class. Now, let's do a quick recap.

Number one, confidence comes from evidence. Number two, you're not special with your issue or challenge. Everyone has it. They just need to pay the price to overcome it. Number three, you need to see your own issues with your own eyes and hear [snorts] them with your own ears to truly understand how to fix them. Number four, deadlines are everything. If you don't set a deadline, it'll take you years, if not decades, to get to the goal. Number five, high expectations means you have low resilience. Low expectations, high resilience. Meaning, have low expectations when you start learning to speak. Number six, never stop doing the basics. You don't need some unbelievable technique. You just need to do the basics. Number seven, the tipping point. Do something long enough, intensely enough, till you reach that tipping point where you see that initial change in your speaking, that initial result that will motivate you to go longer. Number eight, 80% of learning to speak is mental. 20% is repetition and skill. Meaning, if you just did everything, did one thing every single day, you'll get to your result. But most people's self-doubt and impatience with their results gets in the way. And that's why this stop. And lastly, you don't need to learn more techniques.
