Are you playing too small?

I love the speech titled "All the world's a stage" by Shakespeare, definitely look it up if you haven't come across it before!
I love this speech because it reveals that all of life is a stage, and there are many different stages that we step onto every day, as a; father, husband, wife, friend, son, daughter, entrepreneur etc.
I used to bring the biggest version of myself as an entrepreneur and then bring the smallest version of myself home to my family. I've since learnt that the most important stage for me right now in life is the parenting stage - this small shift in thinking has changed the way I show up as a husband and father.
The point I really hope to get across with this video is.. Don't just give the smaller version of you all the stage time - remember to give the bigger version of you stage time as well. Which ever stage you want to apply this thinking to is up to you 🙂 Don't let the smaller version of you hog all the stage time!

When I started as a teacher, Ig suggested me your videos and I try being more expresive with my body. Then I noticed the more I open my body, the more my students follow me. Nowadays I walk the whole classroom while I explain and it's incredible how connected they are in comparison to the beggining. Your advices works, thanks for sharing! Good vibes from Argentina 🙌🏼

[@ijustlike0010]

I want to be an ESL teacher soon so this was very wholesome to read :)

[@jerkycam]

I was just thinking about this as a teach religious class once a week.

[@gokulkavara3669]

I guilty of the fact that I only use my smaller self almost everywhere... And now I will try my best to bring out my bigger self too to the stage of my life.

[@user-dk3qx1me1w]

I've been debating this concept for a while now, and it's true. We bring the part of ourselves that's "less likely to cause conflict or seem obnoxious" to the forefront whilst the leader in us lays dormant like a beautiful German Shephard tied to a pole. As you said, it's actually showing the bigger part of us that inspires others. And perhaps it is a crime to let the German Shephard within all of us stay chained up, looking on, desperately hoping for a chance to run free and live. To embracing the discomfort of breaking that chain, breaking the mold 🍻😉!

[@antonieng]

Love how you emphasise that it’s not about being the bigger version of ourselves 24/7 but instead oscillate between all the versions of us and adapt to our environments. Very healthy and sound advice. 👌🏻👌🏻

[@antonieng]

“Be the bigger version of you”… Giving me flash backs to STAGE workshop. 😌

[@gba6298]

in my school life i play a small version of myself too much.

[@abadat]

The more I see your videos, the more impressed I am👍

[@m.a.f4258]

Thank you from Jordan 🇯🇴 🙏

[@traviswebster4622]

I would say this content is very useful; this video holds many key points that address self-worth, comedic attention getters that are relatable, & practical applicable tips. Beautiful work! You're a great leader Vinh.

[@davidbennett5774]

I decide to reset my life due to too many negatives so I started over but with something I wanted instead of what everybody else wanted for me, I put myself in art school for illustration/animation. I’ve been drawing most of my life and have been working on being my more authentic self in public through life experiences and jobs..now at this school I’m 36 n everyone is much younger and shy. I feel mostly like a little fish in a big pond there and kind of lost so I’m working on speaking up more and getting back to being more true to myself one day at a time and it’s starting to get better..thank you for all the content keep crushing it!!

[@divine_godis]

This video is right on time. Thanks

[@quocanhvu7460]

could never stop having affection, admiration for your contents Vinh. Thank you for your wisdom and amazing work from the production team.

[@Irelandrbi]

I’ve been binge watching your videos. All so good. Do you get to the States? I am in California. I would love to be part of one of your seminars. Let me know. Cheers.

[@CuteBamboo2012]

The 2nd quote was just amazing

[@woodworkingaspirations1720]

We have to step out into the light,.

[@1SurakshaSood]

Thank you Vinh ❤ really needed that But the ending 😂

[@PhennieImbwela]

Powerful, love it.

[@TheSamwonders]

Remarkable.... thank you Vinh

[@Nadiaaltaf-pp8ch]

Thankyou Soo much for your inspiration ❤❤

[@jayhurtcoaching]

You are spot on. I love the point about how we get used to playing small professionally. If we can change the behaviors, we will impact the outcomes. Keep up the great content!

[@mrprathaprao6306]

Worth watching your videos

[@michelletrono1482]

At my work place during weekly staff meeting when it’s my turn to talk I always tend to say nothing all good.

[@saikikusuo8440]

Your channel is seriously underrated! I really wish i could have the opportunity to be coached by you in person

[@RTjman]

This video made me subscribe. Everything makes so much sense! I look forward to bringing the bigger version of myself out a bit more!

[@prodbynatu]

well, i work on a shop floor in retail in the uk and im pretty good at my job as im very confident with customers face to face and handling sales etc. but ive wanted to find a side hussle which i found in making beats to license online to sell for artists. i love making beats but i weirdly demotivate myself when im the creator. when i watch these content creators in my field and professionals i see how they bring such a natural talent to the table i feel like i struggle to find my "mojo" when creating. i always feel like ive been a creative person and the idea of producing for artists massively inspires me. its just that my problem is, this outgoing self in retail does not show up when i am home and im trying to start up a business. i feel like i fall into a shell and i often linger around and i feel guilty for not producing enough as i think i should to get to the top. i read some books for instance, the master key, and 48 laws of power and mastery and i feel motivated to put my energy towards things i desire and inspire to be. when it comes to putting in the work and being a content creator so that i can get my name out there i feel demotivated because its a big step to me in my eyes but on the other hand i know its something that just needs to be done and that i think deeply about the things and i sike myself out of doing the things i need to do.

[@oluwaseyierinle2133]

Another video that's reason enough to stick to your channel. Content. Value. Fun😄 Thanks Vinh

[@antonieng]

Hahaha the edits are goated. #SupermanXander

[@madslug7139]

Genius editing work

[@vgeita]

Your video script production is INSPIRATIONAL 🌠🙌🏾

[@rongpistudio1808]

Amazing

[@merlin8675309]

Incredible video. Picturing talking to my small child with passion, exuberance and authenticity is such a powerful reframe. Bonus was the audience engagement master class at 6:23!

[@LucyMorningstarArt]

The best Vinh!

[@noshan.s1336]

that ending 🤣

[@bonosa1]

Interesting! I played small at work and home, but social media gave me a chance to play big. Let’s see if your advice helps me with the remaining two months. Your sad face at the end made me 😂😂😂

[@ramabitar8276]

Poor Vinh 🥺🥺🥺 But, much appreciate the ideas ...very helpful indeed

[@imakashprakash9705]

❤

[@johanhermanstorm8805]

This is very cultural as well. Scandis are bringing their small version typically.

[@Plan36c]

Interesting you should ask. When I’m on the metaphorical stage that’s physically in front of people I can rather easily be the bigger version but I’ve found it’s a lot more difficult to do over video conferencing and screen sharing as I think I need to be stationary and not blow out other people ears. It’s hard to hype yourself up when you need to remain in a chair connected to a mouse rather than a poster board using my hands to gesticulate . 6:47

[@Moejoe213]

Understand you 100 % but then I realised: video conferencing as you describe it is basically the same setting as Vinh has in many of his videos as well as in this one. See how he sits in a chair at his desk? The only difference is: he increased the distance to the camera so that you can see his gestures.

[@abuframes]

I can't wait to show the bigger version of me to the world.

[@mzba94]

you know, you gave me an app idea, haha

[@ren-sama4203]

What advice would you give to being out the bigger version of myself? Rituals, self talk, courage?

[@krisnapandey5432]

I am giving the bigger verssion of myself. come on man.

[@maxbillz3257]

Whats a coincidence... Today I brought the bigger version while I was saying hello to someone and it felt weird right after and regretted it

[@tammiefi8716]

Are you coming to Albuquerque, NM anytime?

[@suvendroseal1724]

Can you make a video on tonality?

[@wischi4985]

I have a question, Vinh: if I want to be the bigger version of myself, how can I increase my height so I am 6 foot or bigger?

[@Wineblood]

I still don't understand the small/big version of oneself and it wasn't explained later on in the video, so this made it quite frustrating to watch. It's sort of confident and loud and extraverted, but that still doesn't seem like the right description.

[@mordie31]

"He studied pizda" oh as a Slav this made me rofl.

[@borednow]

i had to google it and i get the joke now LOL

[@amineelgaini]

i don't get it
