The surprising secret to speaking with confidence - Caroline Goyder TEDxBrixton

  • Not Synced
    It's this moment, isn't it?
  • Not Synced
    I'm looking at you,
  • Not Synced
    and you do look like a great bunch.
  • Not Synced
    I've sitting there looking at you
    in the last five minutes,
  • Not Synced
    and I'm just feel great in this room.
  • Not Synced
    You look friendly enough,
  • Not Synced
    so thank you!
  • Not Synced
    (laughter)
  • Not Synced
    You are looking a bit unsure.
  • Not Synced
    You know what, it's going to be fine.
  • Not Synced
    And I can see
    a really brainy TED faces there.
  • Not Synced
    There's gonna be a few brilliant
    new ideas.
  • Not Synced
    But it is this moment,
  • Not Synced
    this moment,
  • Not Synced
    while our worlds are colliding right now.
  • Not Synced
    You are looking at me,
    and I am looking at you,
  • Not Synced
    and it hits my brain
    with feeling of a ramdon.
  • Not Synced
    Accellarating molecule you might say.
  • Not Synced
    Different people deal with this moment
    differently.
  • Not Synced
    Some of us go,
  • Not Synced
    "Hey, there are people cope with...
  • Not Synced
    they cope with this moment
    with confident.
  • Not Synced
    It's totally fine.
  • Not Synced
    And there are other people
    who are not so confident,
  • Not Synced
    and it stop them speaking at this moment.
  • Not Synced
    Make them feel anxious,
  • Not Synced
    make them feel like
    they may not up to it.
  • Not Synced
    And that is not the case.
  • Not Synced
    Acctually, all of us have
    our confidence within.
  • Not Synced
    What I want to talk about today
  • Not Synced
    is the idea that we can find
    more confidence within us,
  • Not Synced
    if we know where to look.
  • Not Synced
    Where to look?
  • Not Synced
    We look within,
  • Not Synced
    under the bone.
  • Not Synced
    That's where we are going next.
  • Not Synced
    And the reason that I want to
    talk about this is because
  • Not Synced
    many years ago,
  • Not Synced
    I stood in front of a audience,
  • Not Synced
    this big, bigger,
  • Not Synced
    that's central hall.
  • Not Synced
    It's house aparnament,
  • Not Synced
    which is big, messive space.
  • Not Synced
    I was super excited about that moment,
  • Not Synced
    because that I knew that
  • Not Synced
    it was my big moment
  • Not Synced
    that I ... voice coach
  • Not Synced
    I was going to be able to speak
  • Not Synced
    When I stepped up
    in front of that audience,
  • Not Synced
    what happened was
    everything that could possibly go wrong.
  • Not Synced
    And it did.
  • Not Synced
    I went too fast.
  • Not Synced
    I lost my words.
  • Not Synced
    It felt like such a horrible experience.
  • Not Synced
    And just as I thought
    it couldn't get any worse,
  • Not Synced
    the microphone broke.
  • Not Synced
    And I looked out across the room,
  • Not Synced
    and I said in my big voice coach voice --
  • Not Synced
    it wasn't this much wind I have to say --
  • Not Synced
    (laughter)
  • Not Synced
    And I said in my big voice coach voice,
  • Not Synced
    "Can you hear me in the back?"
  • Not Synced
    And someone said,
  • Not Synced
    "Speak up!"
  • Not Synced
    And I just felt this feeling of
    absolute shame
  • Not Synced
    that feeling of audience looking at you
  • Not Synced
    and feeling of judgement,
  • Not Synced
    feeling ripples us
  • Not Synced
    And I left that venue,
  • Not Synced
    and I thought to myself that never again
  • Not Synced
    That didn't work because I'm here.
  • Not Synced
    I also thought that I'm going to do it
    differently next time,
  • Not Synced
    I'm going to make sure that next time
  • Not Synced
    that I stand up to speak
    that it feels good.
  • Not Synced
    Where will I have to go was within.
