Excellent video. The best tips for better speech I have ever heard include 1. Be knowledgeable on many topics and be a subject matter expert in your area. 2. Prepare your speech. Think about what you are going to say. There is no shame in writing your speech out. 3. Read out loud every day. Just as a singer will not improve with mouthing the words silently an orator needs to practice saying words. 4. Speak slow. 5. Smile and look very comfortable. 6. Concentrate fully on your speech to get in the zone. Don't get distracted and don't lose focus. 7. Role model a great speaking. Watch videos from Obama, Jay Leno, Josh Hawley and other great speakers. Watch their head, hands and other body movement. 8. Practice giving speeches preferrable out loud or at very least in your mind. 9. If you are given a tough question, answer it in frameworks rather than being potentially wrong with the answer. 10. Ask clarifying questions before you give your answer.

I always try to remind myself that I’m just trying to help the people I’m presenting to. If you’re just there to help, and focus on that, you can take yourself out of the equation.

This is God sent. I blush and perspire and it has really destroyed my life. I am 38 years old now and still faces this issue. Somehow as a younger person I thought, that it would go away as I grow older, but it never did. I just came home after having dinner at a friends place and while socializing my anxiety kicked in and I blushed and started perspiring again. Went home dejected, fired up my P.C and decided, my time's better spent learning Japanese then wallowing in self pity, but for some reason the app won't open. So opened KZfaq and this was in my recommendation. I will use this knowledge and better myself from this day onward. Thank You

Step 1. Manage Anxiety, Step 2. Get out of our own way, Step 3. See it as an Opportunity Step 4. Listen Well Step 5. Messaging

I found you in KZfaq by amazing accident, and I have been watching three videos on a road, I'm going to give a class for medical interpreters in Montana, and all your videos that I watched help me to feel more confident and get more ideas for my next class in March 2024. God bless your knowledge 🙏

It always surprises me how many people have a hard time with small talk. This info is necessary!

To this day, i didn't know what small talk means. I am glad i have searched it on here and came across this treasure of communication skills.

I really love the way he narrated I'm like when I have to talk I go freeze so it's really good for me to exercise this to reduce my condition

I believe I’ve seen him do this lecture before and still amazing.

One of the rare time I open my note book to study a talk. Thanks for the content. It’s so valuable

I’m brand new to sales and struggle with social anxiety. I really appreciate your videos. They are very helpful!

Amazing presentation again from Matt!! I've been trying to follow him since the presentation 9 years ago and it really helps me

“I’m still a Work in Progress” love your openness here. 😂

These are really good advices. "Structure is a tool", I love this.

I am not a native English speaker, yet your ideas was clear and concise. It has helped me in my endeavor to get over anxiety in speaking and in maximizing mediocrity to achieve greatness. i wish you the best in your book and lectures. Your lectures and methodology will help millions of folks.

Outstanding lecture! I wish Matt had been my professor in college. Very engaging to the very end and extremely useful. There are clear applications across my life communicating with my family, in my roles in business development and in podcasting. Thanks, Matt!

Thank you Matt. I hope to one day come back and repeat, reflect and seek feedback, from others and myself. Anyone else what like to share there feedback?

🎉 Thank you KZfaq and Stanford Alumni for this free lecture and class... I've learned what was much-needed for my success in the future ❤. #thinktillyousweat

Purchased the audio book. Thank you.

I really appreciate for sharing this great lecture.

Matt thanks a lot for this conference and video resource. It's super useful, loved the pitching framework... I'll practice practice practice!

This was also a wonderful video to learn from. I get real tense when attempting to "say the right things"; so thank you for uploading this content for others to evolve from

Thank you for sharing!

thank you Steve Martin!

Thank you so much sir 🙏

Structure mindset and messaging..thanks

This was useful-thank you.

I have been listening to your podcast on spotify for 2 years...now i get to see you :) thank you for the show...and love your voice and pace!

Thank you! Appreciated.

Love this guy! He's like a serious Steve Martin, very engaging speaker!

Very helpful! Thank you!

When i was teaching HS Drama 1, i was not teaching acting... i was teaching "how to speak publicly" and "make friends". Sure, we did it through games and scene work, but i think it helped.

It’s dificult to gasp the fact that we as a society need a “ how to have a conversation” course. It’s like teaching droids how to behave. Makes me sad. I appreciate the content nonetheles

Love is a gift that comes to my mind 🤔

🎉 thanks for the advice, as we speak I have a problem my mind just shut especially presenting sermon

Knowledge is power

Thanks more for this tips ,thanks again you faced me to the right way

1)What? So what? Now what?. 2)Tell me the time, don’t make me a clock. 3) Structure/focus. pitching: what if you could, so that, for example, and that’s not all

Remember to do the following six things each time someone puts you in the spot. Brilliant. Edit: Okay most of this stuff is actually pretty good.

Wish I had this lecture fifty years ago.

Seriously, pretty fantastic! 🎉

Great Teacher ❤

I have heard many talks on this talk and this is the best so far, it makes the sense straight away. I have already watched it multiple times and will listen to it again and again. Thanks a lot for such a life changing coaching on communication skills

His pitch was awesome 👌

I watched his video 9 years ago, and still good till this day

Absolutely need to slow things down!

This was so good thank you

It,s First english vedio i ever completed

Amazing❤

I love Steve Martin

Speaking in the moment - is something that I struggle the most. I’m frozen all the time 😢 And I am in my 30s

Next play ❤️

- manage anxiety - get out of Our Own Way - see it as an opportunity - listen well - structure your responses

I love Steve Martin.

That was my problem in my last job interview, I felt so embarrassed 😢

Our internal thought processes may not always align perfectly with external communication. We might have a clear understanding of our thoughts internally, but conveying them to others requires translating them into a format that may not capture all the nuances of our internal experience.

That's good conversation

This is really great. But i fell asleep really fast also xD.

be present oriented

6:00 manage anxiety 8:00 find sources of anxiety

exhale, cold bottle, be present with walking, song, counting backwards, and tongue twister (i slip a sheet), be mediocre, what, so what, now what

Buddy made me feel like an idiot right off the bat with that Fs question

I am that person Dr Siamak Baghai Arassi

3:45 Tame the anxiety beast

Me in the toilet cubicle: “I slit a sheet…” My colleague in the next one: 👀👀👀

Executive summary: be present, be present, mistakes are the main way to learn, be more present.

Think faster , talk smarter

Anyone can explain to me about the 6F?

Despite the title talk faster I feel like this video is 2hrs long , may because I'm a slow listner 🙂

Abhi 2024 meh aa video dak raha hoo

Instructions unclear, I failed the interrogation for the triple homicide

👍

I am seeing this and I think they are actually 5 Fs in there

are those his...?😂 btw it's a really nice lecture..ill apply this in my work😊

MQU❤

Good morning sir

still findinf only 5 "f"s

More then 44 minutes without using mmm, hmm, aaand , incredible🎉

How did he find 6 Fs in that "quote"?

I freeze 🥶 ?????

Takeaway tongue twister : I slit a sheet , a sheet I slit , and on that slitted sheet I sit 😅

there are 5 f’s tho

9/10 Indian telephone scammers agree

Pretty good stuff, I just realized that Mario updated his favorite way to tackle ED and it's crazy! Although what he previously talked about was pretty decent, it was difficult to follow, I just go'ogled the latest in Mario's Thunderous Erections, it's so much simpler and potent now!

Am I the only one? But I can only find 3 Fs not 6😢

👍🐝🦷🌹🍻

Speak* smarter.

Don’t think about it…

You can find Ariana grande's music here - yes, and? 😂

How many fs?

maybe a tip on keeping nips from getting piercing hard... 🤣

nnnl

This is useless. This is why the US is not what it used to be. I always run into people who love to talk but are lazy as hell when it comes to actual delivery. I prefer nervous presenters over car salesmen.

Bro did not name his kids right lmao

Wait there aren’t more than 3 F’s? Dafuq is he talking about ?! 😅😂
