I am a 54 year old man and I just get absolutely paralyzed when I have to speak in public in front any number of people and I don't think my knowledge base is developed and even my vocabulary is so very limited. I am not sure if it is even too late for me to start working on becoming a better speaking and transferring ideas worth listening to. These tips are so valuable Dr Lee. But I already feel anxious. I want to start today to learn the skill of public speaking and to speak without any filler words...

I’m retired from a full career of owning a design/build company. At 75 years old I’m committed to myself and my wife to not going down the “old people mindset” road. I’ve surrounded myself with a team of intelligent knowledgeable individuals that supports my goal and plan. Dr. Grace Lee is on my team daily to bring to me fresh ideas and current world wise thoughts. She is a must see for any age and any point in life.

[@georgestone0123]

!! I’m glad I pulled through, despite the crises. I am retiring next yr at 55 with 3 houses paid off worth 4.5 million . One is my place of residence the other 2 properties will give me $80,000per/yr rent . I will have an income stream of $20,000 per yr through my super which gives me total $100,000 a yr to live comfortably . I have no debts ... Stay Motivated!!

Thanks again for your helpful tips to build my confidence when I talk in English. You are an amazing

I am an English as a New Language teacher for the beginning class. I have no fear of speaking to my students only when my focus is completely on them and their needs. I've learned to stop confessing to them my errors and inadequacies. I appreciate hearing your testimonial about you growth with English. That's what I listen for. Thank you. Wow! You read to your mother! I was thinking of having my students read such stories. I did use my favorite children's book. I used it for pronunciation and vocabulary. I will bring it back this quarter. Thank you.

I'm not a stage fright because I don't look at the audience's eyes directly, I look straight to their hair, with this I don't have contact with their eyes to freek me out😀 It works like magic💥

You have just changed my way of thinking this morning. I never the act of types of winning speech, statement or pitch including the dreaded "tell me about yourself" at an interview was about having the audience at heart in tamden with some "emotional word" to create a story that will be meaningful to the winning process. The first 3 minutes 16 seconds is the best moment of my life. I have an interview in an hour 30 minutes and I am going to incorporate that emotional feeling the audience have only to elevate the moment with my solution. Thank you very much. I have seen this pattern on KZbin but I wasn't able to capture the one word that made the difference which is the emotional word that expresses the feeling one may feel and requires someone to help them stay on the right path. This is were I come in with the required solution to save the day or start them from where they stopped. DR, THANK YOU VERY MUCH!

[@debtfree7338]

Oh my God. You have nailed it on the head for me. I have been making it about me and never comfortable with my delivery of my messages. Thank you.

[@JayTamayo-k3s]

I won't forget the one time that my voice was shaking as I speak on a microphone during a radio, asking about a concern. When I was a kid, I was a really shy one. I just don't speak that much. Then, I challenged myself when I was in high school to speak in front of class. In college, because of my modulated voice, my classmates loved to hear me speak. However, at work, I have this struggle of not being sure of what to say. I'm kinda shaky at times. How ironic despite the confidence I have when I do my Pre-Baptismal Seminar in our parish being a volunteer Catechist. I speak there with knowledge and confidence. Makes me feel that it's my stage.

[@jamirahnakandi2374]

Am really changed with just the watch of this video........tnx so much for the tips.

[@josephinem9222]

Yes I have stage fright. I nearly died speaking in front of 18 people , (work related talk) I am working on getting my nerves out of the way. Thank you found you.

[@cksammi]

Hi Dr Grace, love your video here. I've always had issues doing any presentation because I'm also Chinese American but wasn't born in the US so I have a natural fear of public speaking. I'm a grown man middle age now and came here when I was 10 but I never did learn the English properly so I still make grammatical mistakes when I speak now and then, that's probably why I have a fear of speaking unless it's scripted and I can read then it's a bit easier but still get nervous. I do think that's my weakness and need to improve because of my career in sales. One thing I have learned is that is to speak slowly and also to take a breath in between sentences but of course this may make the audience fall asleep but at least I don't make too many blunders. Thanks again.

[@elaineyaz6451]

This is what I’ve been looking for. Public speaking is my weakness that I need to develop.

In my forty years of work experience, the upper management executives were very bad public speakers, despite their large salaries. They punctuated their sentences with the "you knows", "errs", and "ums". One department head said "you know" one hundred plus times in forty minutes, from week to week, in a one-hour department meeting with sixty plus attendees.

I'm learning to speak English, on my country only on my own. I know it's a little difficult for me, because I don't have any English speaker in full-time, like friend, coworker, girlfriend. I could understand this video about 80%. You have a great confidence and pronunciation to speak English. I hope to watch more videos like this one, longer and with good audio.
