The boy got so frustrated with feeling misunderstood and took upon himself a mission to be the clearest he can be when he opens his mouth. Well done ❤️💕
To you reading this Jesus can help with whatever problems, hardships, and issues you have. Believe in him He came to save us from hell and eternal suffering, also turn from your sins repent which is changing your life to follow the way of God and not your way, your way will lead you into a pit of despair I know it, my way lead me in a pit straight to hell, but Jesus rescued me and he can rescue you. He can grant a peace and joy unfelt, and be your closest friend always there, This is the gospel Jesus Christ, son of God, died for our sins, was buried, and rose again on the third day. After he went to his tweleve disciples and many others before ascending into heaven eternally triumphant over all his enemies and making it so that there is now no condemnation for sin to all those who believe, but only everlasting joy. John 3:16
1. Understanding the Three Modes of Intelligent Speaking Expertise: This involves speaking on topics where you have extensive knowledge, gained from training, research, and contemplation. Expression: This mode is about communicating during high-emotion situations like arguments or moments of joy. Extemporaneous: This involves speaking spontaneously and articulately about an idea or vision, often for the first time. 2. The 3Ms of Mindset Me: Early stage of speaking where focus is inward. Concerns about self-perception and how others perceive you dominate. Message: Transition to focusing on the content of what's being said, using pre-assembled thoughts, often repeated from others. Messenger: Advanced stage where focus is on conveying deeply held beliefs and values, irrespective of social dynamics. 3. Embracing the Messenger Mindset Create a Value Prism: Develop a guiding sentence or belief that aligns with your core values to focus your thoughts. Prune Qualifiers: Eliminate hedging phrases to speak more confidently and directly. 4. Using Thought Triggers Evolution of Knowledge: Start with your earliest understanding of a topic and progress to your current perspective. Acknowledging Feelings: Identify and express the emotions influencing your thoughts. Finding Metaphors: Use metaphors to creatively develop and express your thoughts. 5. Using Thought Wrappers Thought wrappers are creative phrases to introduce your ideas. Examples: “Can I share an observation?”, “Help me make sense of this puzzle.” Employ thought wrappers to command attention and demonstrate thoughtful engagement with the conversation. 6. Conduct a Post-Speaking Audit (PSA) Log Verbal Mishaps: Note down words or phrases that were unsatisfactory. Redeliver and Modify: Rearticulate the phrase, using tools like thesauruses or ChatGPT for better word choices. Expand Vocabulary: Engage with poetry and literature to enrich your language. 7. Train to Think Forward, Not Fast Complete Each Sentence: Resist the urge to abandon sentences midway. Read Books Aloud: This practice exposes you to coherent sentence structures and develops your ability to articulate complex ideas. Conclusion Intelligent speaking is not just about the fluency of words but also about the depth of thoughts and the confidence in expressing them. This guide aims to help individuals harness their intrinsic intelligence and articulate it effectively. By progressing through the stages of mindset, employing thought triggers and wrappers, conducting post-speaking audits, and training to think forward, you can enhance your speaking skills and communicate with greater clarity and impact.
4:38 This right here can alone give you the motivation to talk confidently "disconnect from the validation of others, they don't speak to impress, they speak to express what they believe in."
I am non-native English speaker. However, I have been applying all the communication tips you give in your videos, and I must admit it has helped me a lot. Thank you!
Ditto! Its amazing how much all of those techniques improve comunication quality in all languages! This channel is so great at explaining how to use them!
A philosopher once said, "Don't explain your philosophy, embody it." You are an excellent communicator, sir, and inspire me to continue on my journey to being an articulate and intelligent speaker. I do have one question. Is the way we speak and sound genetic? I have a language disorder where it is difficult for me to express my thoughts. It is something I inherited from my dad. I have made a lot of progress over the past few years but do slip into my old ways.
It is not necessarily genetic. It takes a great amount of discipline to maintain any language structure until it becomes natural. Our social environments; friends, family and acquaintances enforce old structures when we permit ourselves to yield to them. This does happen, and there will come a moment, during some point in your life, that you will find in yourself the pleasure of your distinct style and you will no longer return to your former patterns. Using speech from previous social styles is an unconscious behavior that helps us keep ourselves aligned with the cultural integration of our communities. Eventually, you will be able to integrate both your own personality language style with the language of the environment seamlessly. You are motivated and your comment serves others who are inspired to expand their own use and development of language.
I’ve been struggling with this recently so thank you for making this video. Reading out loud is the best way I’ve found to connect with the books I read. I would add an extra layer to this: read the words aloud, AS IF YOU ARE SAYING THEM…I’ve found that this not only helps with simulating thought formation, it also helps you understand the content & remember the material better.
Often I wondered how to unravel my thoughts to clearly communicate, how to find the words. I always struggle to make a coherent sentence. This will help me a lot!
Once every few years I discover someone on youtube that makes me question the ceiling for my own abilities. For what I previously thought could only be achieved through decades of experiences or a different childhood altogether is proven to be incorrect. This is one of those youtube channels. Thank you for condensing down your experience and learnings into such precise and entertaining videos. Yes it took me 5 minutes to write and rewrite those sentences to match the vibe of the channel.
Great video!! Things that I took from this video: “Don’t speak to impress, speak to express” To better deliver your thoughts, use a metaphor Use thought wrappers that can structure and plan the sequence of your incoming thoughts Conduct post speaking audits Don’t speak fast, but speak forward where you step through your thoughts and ideas****
Here's the ChatGPT prompt Joseph used at 14:54. I couldn't find it in the description as promised and copied it down from the video: You are OratorGPT, the greatest orator and speaking coach humanity has ever known. You speak with eloquence, confidence, and are articulate. You value clarity and brevity with your words. You desire to make yourself understood and to understand others. It's common for you to use colorful and poetic descriptions, drawing upon the rich tapestry of the English language. I will provide you a sentence and would like you to rewrite it to be more clear and precise. Remove any unnecessary words and filler words. Avoid using any pretentious or scholarly words in rewriting the sentence. If you need to break the sentences into multiple sentences for clarity, please do so. Also, do not write run-on sentences. The sentences should sound as if they are part of a normal human conversation. Here is the sentence: [Insert text here]
Truly an epiphany. I’ve been following your content for a while now and I was thinking to myself, “ If this were to be formatted as a book, I would have bought it”. Immensely valuable insight, thank you very much !!
@@AustinJohnson-zv5hy yeah, I've heard of it but is there any specific book that's only about being articulate in your speaking, and has quality information like Joe's videos? That's what I mean
For the mindset part, the quote I recently discovered that I found very interesting is "To seek self esteem from externals, peoples' opinions and reactions is to live in tragedy". Saying that quote to myself silently before speaking frees me from anxiety and self judgment.
Joseph yesterday I while traversing through the mosaic of RUclips videos, i stumbled upon one of the videos - How to become Articulate - And I was stunned by not only clarity of your explanations but the density of knowledge. Thank you for reigniting my love for not only English as a language but the expansion of my lexicon. Subscribed
I don't know how I came across these videos but I instantly subscribed. My mind is blown, I am finally understanding why I stumble with words when attempting to articulate my thoughts. I thought having to pause and think for a second before speaking was a sign of weakness. Now I understand that I am simply trying to choose my words carefully so that I don't deliver the wrong message. Accepting that I need more time to formulate my sentence and being vocal about it, has eliminated so much anxiety and pressure to continually speak without thinking because of my fear that someone would perceive my silence as a sign of stupidity. This is communication gold that should be taught in our schools. Thank you joseph.
This is by far, the best, most intelligent information/presentation on speaking that I have ever come across. I am sorry to say that seeing how young you are, I pre-judged how helpful this was going to be for someone at my age and with my experience of speaking. You blew away those thoughts! Thank you so much for sharing your intelligent mind!
Joseph, today you’ve been able to sum up my entire thought process of how I feel on such a broad and vital skill. It is today that I will overcome the unfaltering trepidation of communicating my thoughts because if I remain reticent, then I’d be missing out on the lives I could reform for the better. Thank You!
This helps a lot, I have developed a more concise speech pattern, especially when reading out loud books and poems, and listening to audiobooks has also helped. Keep it up everyone!
I discovered your channel yesterday and absolutely love it! Your examples, your process...nobody else goes into so much detail. And .....you deliver your messages with so much finesse and clarity. Subscribed an absorbing most of your content. Keep it coming!
Great video - Your clear articulation is a testament to the efficacy of your method. The only improvement I would suggest is adding a summary/review at the end with all the techniques you drew upon to help viewers apply their learnings. Subscribed!
I'm obsessed with this creator at this point. There really is always someone working on a solution to the questions we all have in our heads. In addition to this video being invaluable, it has also inspired me to create.
The pivotal advice you gave on a separate video that’s transcended my speaking was so simple, yet powerful : pause…and ask yourself if the word I’m about to use is the most accurate for the situation. That brief pause followed by a surprisingly lightning fast retrieval for the correct word has been so transformational I can’t thank you enough. It’s baffling how much closer the right words are than we imagine, and when you take just a moment to pause and uproot them from the mind, you realize they were pushing close to the surface the whole time.
As a tbi survivor who obviously has my occasional struggles with my quickness of responding and appropriately constructing the the sentence that I mean I am very happy to come across your channel.
The PSA method was one of the best things I did when learning English (although I didn't know at the time this was even a method😅), it works wonders for not only learning but also using new vocabulary in a second language.
I also have recently noticed how intelligent and thoughtful people sound when they acknowledge they have no clear understanding or opinion about a subject. Simply pointing out the holes in your thoughts is powerful...and rare.
I have followed you here on this platform for quite some time now, and it's evident you're articulate and eloquent❤ I know it didn't come easy, you had to go through series of training to get here. Thank you for sharing your journey with us.
you deliver so much value by illustrating and systematizing your findings. I haven't found any other channel that does this good of a job in helping others be more articulate. Thank you so much, will be putting your lessons to good use!
I recently have noticed that I have been obfuscating my words and thoughts, and this video has invited clarity and comforts in knowing that I am capable of fixing it. Thank youuuuu🙏🙏🙏
Awesome content! I’m a first line manager in corporate and looking to make the leap to Director in the next few years. My weakness is communication and to become a steward of the business, you must be able to communicate your ideas articulately and with confidence . These tips have been great and I look forward to applying them.
Even the cadence with which you speak renders the conceptual delta you mentioned so palpable and exigent. My heart sets aflame at the sound of the mining expedition that you set your intention toward with each concept you expand on. I can sense the tense lapse between your buoyant deep lexicon prying and emerging to the surface every few moments, and the physical mouth itself conjuring common parlance, superficially satisfactory, automatic language. Despite this interaction, by virtue of your intimate grasp with your vision of verbal illustration (being a linguistic artisan), the syntax seems to arrange itself. I pray that this process, in the coming months and years, automatizes itself... Though, truly, even then, the venture toward precision is eternal. The Framework King!
I appreciate the ideas presented here, but in my opinion it may be beneficial to consider consulting principles such as MECE, top-down communication, pyramid principle, etc. You can look into these and trust me it will significantly change your soft skill game. As a management consultant, we always have discussion with top stakeholders of leading companies, the forementioned principles allow us to communicate concisely, making us appear intelletual while being able to influence decisions.

i am going to be transparent here with you all i just joined uni and i am a non native english speaker i was shocked , how much time it took me to actually introduce myself in front of a class perfectly it was an eye opener for me i recorded many videos just trying to introduce myself fluently which is crazy to think about it took me 10 plus videos just to speak without pausing and i sure i learned a lot from you through this video . thank you joseph
Thank you! I'm British and moved to the southern USA to be with my partner. My surface lexicon has become less precise over the last 2 years, and my speech is a shadow of its former self with little tone of academia haha.
My god this video spoke to me on different levels!! I know some of these tips will be difficult for me to implement, e.g reading books out loud, but you’ve given me some great goals. Thank you!
You have one of the most clear and precise, visual aids I have seen in years. I wish pastors could do the same. Thank you for your hard work!! I am now a subscriber
Seconds video I’ve watched from you Joseph, and I am so impressed with your content quality 🤯 Thank you so much, I think I found a new channel to obsess learning from! 🙏🏻😍🙏🏻
Awesome to see your growth by looking at your video catalog. This video I notice a notable improvement in audio quality. Weird comment but that’s my brain.
So helpful that you put into words was been consciously unconscious for me. I’ve been frustrated and I didn’t know why with my speaking and you pinpointed exactly the issues. It’s both a relief and now hopeful anticipation with implementing these techniques. Thank you.
This is brilliant. I'm currently attempting to be a union delegate at work. Negotiations have left me feeling like an inarticulate idiot. Thank you for the tips! ❤
I have noticed that watching RUclips shorts dramatically decreases my ability to focus and form coherent sentences on that day. If I refrain myself from watching those shorts, I can better articulate my thoughts.
This video was incredibly valuable for improving my thoughts and accurately convey the message. Extremely handy when structuring my words before I speak. I do wished there was a recap/summary right at the end of the video. It ended abruptly in my opinion.
I love how you delivered the message so clearly and the effort you put into making this video kudos 🎉 keep doing what you're doing you're killing it brother
This was an amazing video. I at first thought it would be like other shallow suggestions but you really cut through everything. You've definitely gotten a new subscriber
I’ve been following your videos for a while now. Like others have mentioned, I normally listen to videos at 2x speed, but I slow down your videos back to 1x because of the way you speak and I want to capture every word. I have told my friend that I’m improving my “lexicon” because of you 😂. Do you have a website or coaching services? I feel you bring a very interesting view on intelligent speaking and want to learn more. Anyways, I like how your video quality improves over time. Although I do enjoy the long no filter monologues you do as it is raw and enjoyable to listen to. Keep up the great work Joseph!
Course correction in one's speech takes minimal effort, while a lifetime of sub optimal oration and awkward speech requires consistent effort that yields a net negative result.
Thank you for inspiring this stagnant heart and mind that squandered precious years of potential and creativity. My Father in Heaven shows mercy to the prodigals.
The professors at my university use qualifiers every about 2 minutes😭. It becomes engrained in everyone's brain and now most of us find ourselves saying everything is "kind of" or "sort of", "I think this is", or "in my opinion" way more often than we want to. It's hard to describe creative concepts in words, but I do believe people who work on this will get so much further than everyone else.
Your channel has been helping me tremendously in my journey to improve my speaking. I’ve taken note of the strategies presented in this video and will commit to implementing them. Thanks you!
All excellent points, delivered in a coherent and interesting way. The people that you mention, Steve Jobs, Bruce Lee, and Martin Luther King were broadly educated, widely read, and continuous learners. As you suggest, each had a central perspective that they built upon, and they looked at contrasting opinions to create both an open mind and a focused outlook. The Value prism that you state is similar to that of Truman Capote, and you might look into some of his personal works to look at that one facet. At the same time that you prune qualifiers and adverbs, you may want to explore adjectives to increase metaphors and analogies in your speech. For example, 'how to untangle this *Gordian* knot of knowledge" and so on. Explore the subtle differences among the concepts of simile, metaphor, and analogy. Note: at ~11:00, lookup the words "compliment" and "complement" - similar spelling, very different concepts, but frequently confused. Excellent point about "thought wrappers" in that they provide an organizer and trajectory for the listener for your thoughts, regardless of complexity. Loose synonyms: Alacrity, Artistic, Acrobatic, ... " *Athletic* with my speech" at ~ 15.55. All intelligent speaker do a post mortem and possibly a pre-rehearsal of some phrases and thoughts - both Robin Williams and Oscar Wilde were known for their interesting and 'polished' conversations that were 'studies' in looking extemporaneous and entertaining. Two qualities that I've noticed about intelligent speakers is that they use metaphors to clarify and color what they say. Especially, if they are conveying complex concepts. And, if you have an appropriate sense of humor, intelligent speakers spice their conversations with humor - not mean or biting sarcasm, perhaps exaggerations or satire, but more self-directed, self-deprecating, or outrageous opposite to the truth in a gentle, not biting, delivery.
Joseph, thank you immensely for what you are creating. This speaks exactly to what I’ve been searching for myself. Would you be able to make a video to delve further into how to amend or course correct after you have said something you don’t quite stand by, but are trying to get to the bottom of?
I'd love if you could check out an Artist called Akala's speaking and do a video analysis on him- his speech at Oxford could be a good place to start. I find him among today's most beautifully articulate speakers and would love to know what we can dissect from him. Great video!
04:35 The answer is simple. Get old enough, rich enough or powerful enough so no one can cancel you for your ideas. Only then can you speak freely and share your true wisdom without fear.
Great video Joe, really valuable information, you may or may not like him - but would you consider doing a breakdown as to why Andrew Tate can freestyle his speech so fluently ?

1. Understanding the Three Modes of Intelligent Speaking
Expertise: This involves speaking on topics where you have extensive knowledge, gained from training, research, and contemplation.
Expression: This mode is about communicating during high-emotion situations like arguments or moments of joy.
Extemporaneous: This involves speaking spontaneously and articulately about an idea or vision, often for the first time.
2. The 3Ms of Mindset
Me: Early stage of speaking where focus is inward. Concerns about self-perception and how others perceive you dominate.
Message: Transition to focusing on the content of what's being said, using pre-assembled thoughts, often repeated from others.
Messenger: Advanced stage where focus is on conveying deeply held beliefs and values, irrespective of social dynamics.
3. Embracing the Messenger Mindset
Create a Value Prism: Develop a guiding sentence or belief that aligns with your core values to focus your thoughts.
Prune Qualifiers: Eliminate hedging phrases to speak more confidently and directly.
4. Using Thought Triggers
Evolution of Knowledge: Start with your earliest understanding of a topic and progress to your current perspective.
Acknowledging Feelings: Identify and express the emotions influencing your thoughts.
Finding Metaphors: Use metaphors to creatively develop and express your thoughts.
5. Using Thought Wrappers
Thought wrappers are creative phrases to introduce your ideas.
Examples: “Can I share an observation?”, “Help me make sense of this puzzle.”
Employ thought wrappers to command attention and demonstrate thoughtful engagement with the conversation.
6. Conduct a Post-Speaking Audit (PSA)
Log Verbal Mishaps: Note down words or phrases that were unsatisfactory.
Redeliver and Modify: Rearticulate the phrase, using tools like thesauruses or ChatGPT for better word choices.
Expand Vocabulary: Engage with poetry and literature to enrich your language.
7. Train to Think Forward, Not Fast
Complete Each Sentence: Resist the urge to abandon sentences midway.
Read Books Aloud: This practice exposes you to coherent sentence structures and develops your ability to articulate complex ideas.
Conclusion
Intelligent speaking is not just about the fluency of words but also about the depth of thoughts and the confidence in expressing them. This guide aims to help individuals harness their intrinsic intelligence and articulate it effectively. By progressing through the stages of mindset, employing thought triggers and wrappers, conducting post-speaking audits, and training to think forward, you can enhance your speaking skills and communicate with greater clarity and impact.

Awesome content! I’m a first line manager in corporate and looking to make the leap to Director in the next few years. My weakness is communication and to become a steward of the business, you must be able to communicate your ideas articulately and with confidence . These tips have been great and I look forward to applying them.
You are a Genius!!!
Even the cadence with which you speak renders the conceptual delta you mentioned so palpable and exigent. My heart sets aflame at the sound of the mining expedition that you set your intention toward with each concept you expand on. I can sense the tense lapse between your buoyant deep lexicon prying and emerging to the surface every few moments, and the physical mouth itself conjuring common parlance, superficially satisfactory, automatic language. Despite this interaction, by virtue of your intimate grasp with your vision of verbal illustration (being a linguistic artisan), the syntax seems to arrange itself.
I pray that this process, in the coming months and years, automatizes itself... Though, truly, even then, the venture toward precision is eternal. The Framework King!
Lmaoo. You have reached peak communication.😂
I've been practicing speaking and re-doing my past conversations for forever. I didn't know that wasn't normal.
Woah the details in editing ... Even ur voice and the camera movement
I appreciate the ideas presented here, but in my opinion it may be beneficial to consider consulting principles such as MECE, top-down communication, pyramid principle, etc. You can look into these and trust me it will significantly change your soft skill game. As a management consultant, we always have discussion with top stakeholders of leading companies, the forementioned principles allow us to communicate concisely, making us appear intelletual while being able to influence decisions.
what a breathtaking moment in my life, just watching this video.
14:55 - Below is Joseph's ChatGPT prompt:
"You are OratorGPT, the greatest orator and speaking coach humanity has ever known. You speak with eloquence, confidence, and are articulate. You value clarity and brevity with your words. You desire to make yourself understood and to understand others. It is common for you to use colourful and poetic description, drawing upon the rich tapestry of the English language.
I will provide you a passage and would like you to rewrite it to be more clear and precise. Remove any unnecessary words and filler words. Avoid using any pretentious or scholarly words in rewriting the sentence. If you need to break the sentences into multiple sentences for clarity, please do so. Also, do not write run-on sentences. The sentences should sound as if they are part of a normal human conversation.
Here is the passage: "[INSERT PASSAGE HERE]”
THANK YOU
This is one of the most interesting channels on RUclips I have come across. ❤
We need an intellectual companion like him. I need one. My friends are just talking when they're gossiping.
Thank you so much. I have never seen anyone pick apart the details so meticulously. Time for us to get to work!
Bro I love your content you deserve more attention
Today I was thinking to myself that I should do something about my my lack of articulation when speaking with others, and then randomly stumbled on your channel. You provide very actionable and valuable information! Subscribed.
voice, eye contact everything is just perfect in this channel
Next time it will be better if you remove background sound, it makes me distracted while listening to you
Create more content. You are gonna be the hero of the future generations
Bro you’ve helped me so much. In my personal life and my professional life within sales.
i am going to be transparent here with you all i just joined uni and i am a non native english speaker i was shocked , how much time it took me to actually introduce myself in front of a class perfectly it was an eye opener for me i recorded many videos just trying to introduce myself fluently which is crazy to think about it took me 10 plus videos just to speak without pausing and i sure i learned a lot from you through this video . thank you joseph
Thank you! I'm British and moved to the southern USA to be with my partner.
My surface lexicon has become less precise over the last 2 years, and my speech is a shadow of its former self with little tone of academia haha.
My god this video spoke to me on different levels!! I know some of these tips will be difficult for me to implement, e.g reading books out loud, but you’ve given me some great goals. Thank you!
This is the best video I’ve watched about improving your speech ! Well delivered 🔥
You have one of the most clear and precise, visual aids I have seen in years. I wish pastors could do the same. Thank you for your hard work!! I am now a subscriber
Seconds video I’ve watched from you Joseph, and I am so impressed with your content quality 🤯 Thank you so much, I think I found a new channel to obsess learning from! 🙏🏻😍🙏🏻
Such a magnificient and helpful video. Quality, content, words, delivery, background music, all structured in a brilliant way. Love your videos!
I'm healed after watching this
Awesome to see your growth by looking at your video catalog. This video I notice a notable improvement in audio quality. Weird comment but that’s my brain.
So helpful that you put into words was been consciously unconscious for me. I’ve been frustrated and I didn’t know why with my speaking and you pinpointed exactly the issues. It’s both a relief and now hopeful anticipation with implementing these techniques. Thank you.
This is brilliant. I'm currently attempting to be a union delegate at work. Negotiations have left me feeling like an inarticulate idiot. Thank you for the tips! ❤
I have noticed that watching RUclips shorts dramatically decreases my ability to focus and form coherent sentences on that day. If I refrain myself from watching those shorts, I can better articulate my thoughts.
This video was incredibly valuable for improving my thoughts and accurately convey the message. Extremely handy when structuring my words before I speak.
I do wished there was a recap/summary right at the end of the video. It ended abruptly in my opinion.
The most clever Video I found about talking. My man, you made it!!
What a great video, and what an intelligent mind you have. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
OMG!!! This is such a gem!!!
Thank you so much for making this for the world!!!
The person who is reading I hope you get successful ₊˚⊹♡
It would be so helpful if you did a video recommending books that you like or that helped you with language, poetry or any other type of book 💕
I’m going to watch this every morning before work.
Hey Joseph ! Your account is a blessing !
Thank you for putting so much effort in this video! It's beyond helpful 🔥
Thanks for this! Looking forward to learning a lot from it!
I love how you delivered the message so clearly and the effort you put into making this video kudos 🎉 keep doing what you're doing you're killing it brother
Brilliant video! really insightful. This one is definitely worth a save and rewatch. One of your best ones yet :)
Outstanding exposition on how to express our thoughts/ messages/viewpoints!
This was an amazing video. I at first thought it would be like other shallow suggestions but you really cut through everything. You've definitely gotten a new subscriber
I’ve been following your videos for a while now. Like others have mentioned, I normally listen to videos at 2x speed, but I slow down your videos back to 1x because of the way you speak and I want to capture every word. I have told my friend that I’m improving my “lexicon” because of you 😂. Do you have a website or coaching services? I feel you bring a very interesting view on intelligent speaking and want to learn more. Anyways, I like how your video quality improves over time. Although I do enjoy the long no filter monologues you do as it is raw and enjoyable to listen to. Keep up the great work Joseph!
Wow, this video has incredible value, you got to the root of every question. Great job!
this is credibly high quality content! thank you for producing it!!
Reading books aloud is so underrated
Course correction in one's speech takes minimal effort, while a lifetime of sub optimal oration and awkward speech requires consistent effort that yields a net negative result.
19:58 What type of books do you recommend reading?
Thank you for inspiring this stagnant heart and mind that squandered precious years of potential and creativity. My Father in Heaven shows mercy to the prodigals.
15:30 Joseph used a clever thought wrapper!!!
You spoke so clearly i was watching yo shit in 1.75x
The professors at my university use qualifiers every about 2 minutes😭. It becomes engrained in everyone's brain and now most of us find ourselves saying everything is "kind of" or "sort of", "I think this is", or "in my opinion" way more often than we want to. It's hard to describe creative concepts in words, but I do believe people who work on this will get so much further than everyone else.
Incredibly valuable. More of this!
I really enjoy the effort in the videos. I’m surprised you’re not also sharing this information in writing e.g on medium
Your channel has been helping me tremendously in my journey to improve my speaking. I’ve taken note of the strategies presented in this video and will commit to implementing them. Thanks you!
Thank you so much for this! I’m enjoying your videos. I’ve already noticed how much more aware I am about my speech!
All excellent points, delivered in a coherent and interesting way. The people that you mention, Steve Jobs, Bruce Lee, and Martin Luther King were broadly educated, widely read, and continuous learners. As you suggest, each had a central perspective that they built upon, and they looked at contrasting opinions to create both an open mind and a focused outlook. The Value prism that you state is similar to that of Truman Capote, and you might look into some of his personal works to look at that one facet. At the same time that you prune qualifiers and adverbs, you may want to explore adjectives to increase metaphors and analogies in your speech. For example, 'how to untangle this *Gordian* knot of knowledge" and so on. Explore the subtle differences among the concepts of simile, metaphor, and analogy. Note: at ~11:00, lookup the words "compliment" and "complement" - similar spelling, very different concepts, but frequently confused. Excellent point about "thought wrappers" in that they provide an organizer and trajectory for the listener for your thoughts, regardless of complexity. Loose synonyms: Alacrity, Artistic, Acrobatic, ... " *Athletic* with my speech" at ~ 15.55. All intelligent speaker do a post mortem and possibly a pre-rehearsal of some phrases and thoughts - both Robin Williams and Oscar Wilde were known for their interesting and 'polished' conversations that were 'studies' in looking extemporaneous and entertaining.
Two qualities that I've noticed about intelligent speakers is that they use metaphors to clarify and color what they say. Especially, if they are conveying complex concepts. And, if you have an appropriate sense of humor, intelligent speakers spice their conversations with humor - not mean or biting sarcasm, perhaps exaggerations or satire, but more self-directed, self-deprecating, or outrageous opposite to the truth in a gentle, not biting, delivery.
Joseph, thank you immensely for what you are creating. This speaks exactly to what I’ve been searching for myself.
Would you be able to make a video to delve further into how to amend or course correct after you have said something you don’t quite stand by, but are trying to get to the bottom of?
I'd love if you could check out an Artist called Akala's speaking and do a video analysis on him- his speech at Oxford could be a good place to start. I find him among today's most beautifully articulate speakers and would love to know what we can dissect from him. Great video!
11:15 gotta add “To piggy back after what he said” 🤣
04:35 The answer is simple. Get old enough, rich enough or powerful enough so no one can cancel you for your ideas. Only then can you speak freely and share your true wisdom without fear.
Great video Joe, really valuable information, you may or may not like him - but would you consider doing a breakdown as to why Andrew Tate can freestyle his speech so fluently ?
7:44 brilliant!
Bro the amount of valve that you have provided in this video is unbelievable. Thank you.
You made my day! Thank you. You are good in teaching! Articulate in voice, expression and visual aids.
