I'm glad they are helpful to you, Alejandro.
Oh, thank you Alex for the advice. Great points and thoughtfully presented.
Valuable advice! I think this summary of the "when to speak up and how to deal with hecklers"-part might be helpful for/worth sharing with other viewers: It's all about smart timing: 1. Anticipate current speaker's pause (hint: they wind down) 2. Meanwhile as they wind down: Signal you'll speak next: Lean in, visibly breathe in via mouth, and slightly raise index finger 3. As they hit their pause, you just start speaking 4. If you get interrupted make friendly eye contact with interruptor 5. Unless urgent, let them courteously go first (if they don't offer to let you go first) and keep signaling you go next (see 2)
I appreciate all of your clips and look forward to seeing you more. Thank you 🙏
I really need these tips at work. Thank you so much!
Thank you for sharing this video!
I love the way you coach. Tip #5 is my favorite.
Thanks for sharing this useful content!
Sir, I am perplexed with the art public of speaking. It is quite natural as rain comes from heavens. By going through such stuff it makes me worried. What is to be focused and what not to be focused. The human beings are blessed with power of speech. It is the greatest gift and this makes us most intelligent. Why do we make simple things complicated by giving lables such as verbal, nonverbal, kinesthetic, auditory, visual, the more we give priority to these things the core will be missing. How does he speaks whether he is leaning, standing towards 45° or 60°. It is the listener's choice what he wants to listen ,he listens to it. He also understands what is not being spoken. It is the absolute choice of speaker/ listener. Do we learn typewriting by reading the mannual? Do we learn swimming by reading a book? Did we listened to our parents after completing the certificate courses? It is just natural. In this vast world, everything is ready except man. It is not intended to hurt or criticise anyone's sentiments. I just thought of write something. When we understand the history, we can come to know the natural and latent abilities of the greatest speakers the world such as Swami Vivekananda, Martin Luther King, Winston Churchill, Hitler, etc., Did they possess any master degrees from reputed universities? No, the need is the drive. It makes all the difference. I once again thank you very much everyone who pays their valuable time to read. Thank you. D. Rama Murthy Telangana India I thank you very much for your videos.
Some great tips you shared here. Valuable suggestion and I just need to implement these tips in my virtual meeting and in person meeting. I am glad I found your channel.
These are some fantastic tips, thank you SO much!!!
Thank you sir! Much love ❤
Great tips! You are a great example of confidence speaker!
Thanks for the concrete suggestions!
Thank you Alexander this was helpful.
This was excellent! Thank you! Wonder how to translate some of these when in virtual meetings!
Thank you for this video! I am naturally shy and have always found meetings so difficult. Like SO difficult because of all the things you mentioned. I wait and wait and wait because I never know the right place to speak up, and when I do, I’ve rehearsed the thing so much that I feel like it explodes out of me. Truly appreciate your clear articulation of the problems and the clear solutions. I’m going to implement these immediately. Thank you!
All the tips are great, so far.
WoW just what I need to work on. Many of us are out of social practice! Your work is helping me in my communication. I often wait too long and I burst!
Love the nonverbal tips! Thanks!
New subscriber here. Your channel is really informative. I'm not necessarily in the public speaking eye but these tips sound useful in everyday conversation and I would love to feel more confident while having small talk with a stranger. Thanks for the content 😊
Very helpful! Thank you!
Excellent presentation! Very helpful
Very useful tips. Thank you
you have helped me very much! I always wait for an audible pause but waiting for the wind down and audibly breathing in (giving a cue) also gives the other speaker an opportunity to give a cue as to whether they are done or not (yes or no right after I cue) works flawlessly with the finger if you need to cut them there to respond
Doc your material is 🔥🔥
What an amazing content! Thankyou Sir.. I do many of the tips u shared naturally.. But learnt many more. Thankyou a tonn🥰
I found all these useful, thank you very much. I am an introvert so when I have to speak up in a meeting, all I can think of at that moment is that everybody's eyes are on me and then I turn red in the face. I need to work on my confidence and tell myself that what I have to say is important and of value.
Thanks so much. You are the best communication coach on YT. I have learned a lot from your videos and can concretely see progress in my oral communication and my confidence. You are clear, concrete and to the point. Great work!

Thankyou great tips, most valuable to me was the last one. Recent knowledge also states start with the positive follow with the don't so I wonder if your written tips would have more impact if they were written 1. lean in, don't lean back.
Thanks for a valuable input. What is your thought on dealing with people that steal ideas in meetings and make it their own, especially those that are senior.
Wow! This just came across my radar!! These vids are fantastic! I have a speakers bureau and I can’t wait to share these with my speakers!! Amazing!! These are fantastic for non-speakers also!! Thank you for doing these for the world!

I'm glad you think so, Moki. My personal rule when speaking is to make sure each sentence adds value. I do my best not to simply repeat what I've already said. I'm glad you noticed!
Thanks so much for the tips - all so useful & effective. Now that many of us work from home & meet virtually by webex over the phone, is it possible for you to provide tips specific to such arrangement? Also, very often there are people who talk forever non-stop in the meeting, are there any tips to deal with it? Thanks a million!

It's a good idea and a lot of people have asked but I probably won't do videos about Zoom. There are so many out there on that from other channels right now and I don't have an anything special to say about it at this point. If I come up with something a little unique to say, I might reconsider.
I'm beyond grateful for making or creating such an amazing video content 😀 I'm really benefiting a lot from them, I must admit though, i was that kind of person who made all the donts before I came across your lovely channel, I learnt a lot from you and still learning actually , thank very much again 🙂
