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.
!! 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!!
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 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.
Two thing's are prime importance in public speaking,firstly ,you have a messege to deliver and secondly that you have a faith on the audience that your self-esteem will ultimately transform them. In the present speeches we have come accross most of it.
A big thank you from me. My name is Trang. I'm living in Australia and studying English just one month ago. I came here in 2015 without how to speak English. I overcame a lot of obstacles until I could speak a bit of English, and I am continually learning, practising and understanding more in English. Thanks again for your helpful tips to build my confidence when I talk in English. You are an amazing
Here are the list: 😀 1. Speaking is a skill. 2. Make it about your audience. 3. Visualize yourself as a confident speaker. 4. Know your stuff. 5 . Learn how to tell story. 6. Dress confidently. 7. Practice makes permanent. 8. Know your audience. 10. Change your physiology.
You are truly an inspiration especially to a foreign person trying to learn a new language which is extremely difficult as an adult and when your alphabet is completely different. To sound native is very difficult to achieve but you aced it !!! But with inner confidence one can achieve almost anything !! 👏👏👏
The only challenge I faced in school currently is speaking. I find it difficult to express myself even in the midst of two. I always thought I have problems with my brain, the part that controls speech. Thank you so much, Dr. I have decided to face my weakness
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.
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💥
@DrGrace, I am so impressed by the work you did to learn English, and to master phonetics. You are an example that one can accomplish what s/he puts their mind to. Thank you for being an inspiration.
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 RUclips 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!
❤️ Thank you so much, I am sending this link to my daughter who is struggling with speaking, talking and she was and still has this shyness of speaking out even at this age considering as an adult now. Your help will be immensely valuable. 🙏
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.
As an AAPI I really appreciate your videos on communication! Your wisdom allows me to see my potential in improving my knowledge & efforts in becoming better. Thank you Dr. Lee!
Thanks Dr. Grace. You are an awesome and giving person for helping all of us improve ourselves on so many and varied ways. Wish you nothing but the best and continued success.
I love your channel Dr. Grace Lee. Seeing you are Asian like me helps me feel like it's possible for me to improve my communication skills too. Thanks so much.
I love the transcripts...it helps with memory. Listening and reading at the same time is fantastic for remembering the key points. Thanks Dr Grace 🙏🏽 😘
You are awesome Dr. Lee. I run every morning listening to your video. Learned so much and encouraged by you to overcome accent, stage frightening and build more confidence!
@thehoneydeev she mentioned that English is not her first language but Cantonese is. I also am surprised how excellent her English and she speaks it without any accent. I unfortunately stuck with an accent for life.
That is very interesting story you reading to your mother. I believe I'm just like you, because I'm the first person in my mother house to know how to read and write. I think you reading to your mother brought you closer to her. Practice makes perfect and permanent. Please next time make sure not to play music on the back ground. Because I want to concentrate on listening to you. Thank you 💘💘💘
I'll be presenting on a case in my class today and this is helping me calm my nerves. I've always had social anxiety and I've been working on overcoming it by doing what scares me or triggers the anxiety. Wish me the best🎉
Thank you Dr. Grace, you are just like your name...Graceful...I stumbled upon your video just now after listening to it, couldn't stop myself from hitting the like and subscribe button. Felt like I found a pot of gold! You are wonderful and engaging..thank you for sharing and stay blessed...
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 have stage fright when I speak infront of persons like in meeting When I dance and teach dance, it is different, am so confident. Thank you for these stages. Will work on it
I feel like learning and taking up a second or 3rd language is beautiful it's amazing it's a learning experience and you grow from it and you learn many different experiences from it visiting different parts of the world you need to know different languages and learning Chinese is a beautiful language
Thanks Dr. Grace. You are an awesome and giving person for helping all of us improve ourselves on so many and varied ways. Wish you nothing but the best and continued success.
Dr Lee, thanks a lot. You video is invaluable too many people and will a long way. I myself have been going through the same tough journey of learning to speak better. Good on you.
Thanks, it was very informative. I had to overcome stage fright by pretending i was the only one there. Thanks for the tips! I still have a long way to go. 😊🙏😊
You are Awesome and amazing woman. A chinese but very fluent in English....you have the talent and skill in public speaking....a wonder woman you are... Congratulations! Love listening....
You are great, organized, and able to clearly explain this complex topic"Speaking up in public". Words are powerless to express my gratitude to you. I thank you from the bottom of my heart
Just shared your video with my sister. We both are working on our confidence in speaking. She's been promoted and I want to express myself better since communication is a part of my passion. I joined toastmasters and will be applying your tips to my club meetings.
Awesome that you shared it with those you care about! I'd love to hear an update from you after applying my tips to your toastmasters club meetings. Did you sister get promoted after applying some of these tips?
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.
I got o stage to read the Bible. I didn’t want to , I started feeling hot and sick. I woke up 5 min later I had passed out. I will practice this. It’s on my bucket List to speak to a large crowd. 🤩
I have just viewed your video. Awesome! Especially when English wasn't your first language. Your delivery is perfect despite being in an outdoor environment
So educative ❤😊 Yes I’ve experienced stage fright 😢to it extent I hardly speak in microphone cos my voice is too louder and noisily shaking in microphone
You are so wonderfully confident in speaking. You are a great inspiration! Thank you very much for sharing your valuable secrets to speakinging confidently.
Thank you Dr. Lee for your great tips. I have been struggling with "stage fright" for quite a while now. My work requires me to give presentations more or less frequently and its very important for me to refine my public speaking skills. I get freaked out a little even when doing zoom presentations with just pp slides in front of me. I love especially your points on "knowing your stuff" and practice. These usually makes or break my presentations. Thanks again for the tips and looking forward to more vids from you..
9:01 Lol 😂 I did this with my children. I had them read to me. I said I already knew how to read. So I had to have patience. they had to read to me. Thank you so much for sharing 😊
I don't fear speaking in front of others. My fear is rejection or sense of rejection. Not sure if others feel this, but if I engage someone in conversation, I dislike it when next time, the person avoids me for another conversation, or if I see people yawn when I speak.
Your speaking skill is outstanding mam. Lots of respect 💐for you! I want to creat these precious skills on me,but Japan school and college system is totally strange.If student ask questions during class or after class,Most of teacher feel irritating and reply offensively 🥲.
I was recently hired at a BPO company which is my 3rd job now. I always wanted to be promoted but I didn't have the right mindset. Now, I am very eager to grow and get the promotion so I am really trying to absorb everything right from my first day at work and one of the things that I am focusing is my communication or public speaking skills. Your 10 secrets absolutely changed my perspective and improved my confidence. Thank you so much. Looking forward for more of your videos. ♥️
I had to read at a memorial service..I was so nervous!!! I wanted my reading to touch the people in the service. I didn’t want this to be a quick core to get through I wanted my scripture message to touch hearts for it to be about Gods words not my reading....I practiced until the day... I arrived early practiced once from the pulpit.., when it came time I confidently arose...arrived at the podium and ahA...put my reading glasses on...not one person could distract me because I couldn’t see them,,,all I saw was the words of my reading and the practice paid off! Cool as a cucumber I was...I kept the proper pace and read with meaning...I was so relieved none of my fears came true....practice practice really helped me. Note when I practiced...I did record myself that really helped after I got passed my constant criticism ... I became more confident....to not make this about me but about what I had to read.
@@marys3738 I can appreciate your eagerness to get rid of your accent; my first language was Cantonese so my pronunciation wasn't as a native English speaker. I studied phonics and practiced endlessly to enunciate my words more clearly. I would encourage you rather than try to lose your accent, focus on clear pronunciation instead. Nobody will mind your accent if they can understand you clearly. I'd say embrace your accent as a part of what makes you YOU!
@@karenturner8322 Thank you for sharing and I'm ecstatic to hear of the fruits of your practice! Also keep your focus on your audience as that will help you keep the nerves at bay so that you can truly deliver your message with strength and confidence. Congrats on all your hard work!
Hello Dra. Grace Lee, good afternoon! This is the first time I publish a comment in any of your videos. I found it about one hour and I liked it much!, It's very interesting your personal experience. 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. Have a great Monday, wherever you are. Greetings from Sonora, México 🇲🇽, which is a border state with Arizona, USA 🇺🇲.
Hello, Eduardo. I feel blessed to be able to impart my experience and impact other people's lives. I appreciate you sharing your story. Welcome to my channel.
I use Powerpoint as a teleprompter software with bullet points for my presentation to help me speak confidently and maintain eye contact with audience.
Thank you, appreciate your grace, Dr. Grace. Have taken notes - much good content in this video. I have felt insecure talking in front of group #2 step may help this. Also, appreciate your articulate English & voice.
Thank you for showing me such things how to be a confident person because when l start to speak in public sometimes l am nervouse and it makes me to loose the topic that l already prepare.
Salute to the most amazing Dr Grace Lee. Wow, she is the #1 Best Speaker and Best Trainer: V Good ! May God bless you with good health, wisdom, and power in the wonderful name of the resurrected Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ ( King James Bible ). Thank you very much Dr Grace Lee. Love and Peace be with you always.
Dr. Grace Lee, your lessons are so meaningful and valuable. I learn a lot from your theory and experiences. Can you cover the topic on 'effective communication in business negotiation'. Thank you very much in advance.
I can't tell at all you are from Hong Kong. Me too and I have been in Canada 20+. Dr Grace Lee - What did you do to get rid of the accent? I am in the process of reinventing myself and will be more visible in the short future whether it be social media, public speaking or group coaching. Dr Lee you are such an inspiration and I love your vids!
This is so good that I want to rewatch it again. And Bethesda is so grand although I remembered it as being decrepit and dangerous in the 70's when I was a little kid. Great complement to the usual Vancouver waterfront. My two favoruite running venues, Central and Stanley Parks. Cantonese is also my first language although I was born in Manhattan, but English is my de facto language. Great video and thanks.
I'm so grateful to hear that my content has helped you and that it was an answer to your prayer. I'd love for you to share with me how it has helped you and your husband.

A good teacher is one who teaches well, a great teacher is one who inspires- Dr.Grace Lee, I admire your unique and inspiring presentation.Your great.

Stumbled when telling ppl not to use filler words but immediately recovered seamlessly. That’s theory and practical lumped in one. Brilliant

As a Chinese who also speak English as a second language, I am amazed with your spoken English!
she is originally from Hong Kong, not China
That's beautiful and a lot of patience and understanding how difficult many other different languages can be in China and Hong Kong
@@bmak0526 I am very sure she is chinese.
@@monicaestrada6284 you don’t think people in hong kong speak Chinese?
Same English is my second language and this year I am practicing on how to be confident speaker
I am not scared of stage fright because I know what I am going to say. Front to back, back to front, inside out and outside in. Simples!
You are truly an inspiration especially to a foreign person trying to learn a new language which is extremely difficult as an adult and when your alphabet is completely different. To sound native is very difficult to achieve but you aced it !!! But with inner confidence one can achieve almost anything !! 👏👏👏
These are all priceless points that if applied, can take someone's speaking skills from zero to hero!

Personally, I second you with all my mind, body and soul!
Absolutely.
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.

I don't fear speaking in front of others. My fear is rejection or sense of rejection.
Not sure if others feel this, but if I engage someone in conversation, I dislike it when next time, the person avoids me for another conversation, or if I see people yawn when I speak.
Your speaking skill is outstanding mam.
Lots of respect 💐for you!
I want to creat these precious skills on me,but Japan school and college system is totally strange.If student ask questions during class or after class,Most of teacher feel irritating and reply offensively 🥲.
I just found a new learning platform. Dr. grace you're so amazing for the incredible lessons.
The best secret for me is the secret number 9. 😁 It's meant for me. Thank you so much. ❤❤❤
I felt oblige to comment that THIS VIDEO IS VERY HELPFUL TO ME AT THIS MOMENT. Thank you, Dr Grace. ♥️
I'm so grateful to hear, Johrel. What has my video helped you to do at this moment?
I was recently hired at a BPO company which is my 3rd job now. I always wanted to be promoted but I didn't have the right mindset. Now, I am very eager to grow and get the promotion so I am really trying to absorb everything right from my first day at work and one of the things that I am focusing is my communication or public speaking skills. Your 10 secrets absolutely changed my perspective and improved my confidence. Thank you so much. Looking forward for more of your videos. ♥️
You can not imagine how helpful are your tips for me!! Thank you so much Dr Lee. You are so amazing! Wow! ❤️
You are very welcome! Glad to have you here on my channel.
What's been your experience with speaking? How confident are you?
I'd love to hear from you, put your comments below!
Magnificent
I had to read at a memorial service..I was so nervous!!! I wanted my reading to touch the people in the service. I didn’t want this to be a quick core to get through I wanted my scripture message to touch hearts for it to be about Gods words not my reading....I practiced until the day... I arrived early practiced once from the pulpit.., when it came time I confidently arose...arrived at the podium and ahA...put my reading glasses on...not one person could distract me because I couldn’t see them,,,all I saw was the words of my reading and the practice paid off! Cool as a cucumber I was...I kept the proper pace and read with meaning...I was so relieved none of my fears came true....practice practice really helped me. Note when I practiced...I did record myself that really helped after I got passed my constant criticism ... I became more confident....to not make this about me but about what I had to read.
Where can I take speech classes to get rid off my accent?
@@marys3738 I can appreciate your eagerness to get rid of your accent; my first language was Cantonese so my pronunciation wasn't as a native English speaker. I studied phonics and practiced endlessly to enunciate my words more clearly. I would encourage you rather than try to lose your accent, focus on clear pronunciation instead. Nobody will mind your accent if they can understand you clearly. I'd say embrace your accent as a part of what makes you YOU!
@@karenturner8322 Thank you for sharing and I'm ecstatic to hear of the fruits of your practice! Also keep your focus on your audience as that will help you keep the nerves at bay so that you can truly deliver your message with strength and confidence. Congrats on all your hard work!
Hello Dra. Grace Lee, good afternoon! This is the first time I publish a comment in any of your videos. I found it about one hour and I liked it much!, It's very interesting your personal experience. 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. Have a great Monday, wherever you are. Greetings from Sonora, México 🇲🇽, which is a border state with Arizona, USA 🇺🇲.
Hello, Eduardo. I feel blessed to be able to impart my experience and impact other people's lives. I appreciate you sharing your story. Welcome to my channel.
For a native Chinese, you've delivered these pointers so fluently spoken English. It was excellent!
❤ i am amazed that you speak well and very clear english. Great speaker!
Yes! I have stage fright. I am thankful for this video.
I use Powerpoint as a teleprompter software with bullet points for my presentation to help me speak confidently and maintain eye contact with audience.
I really crazy how you speak English I want to become like you speak confidence
Thank you, appreciate your grace, Dr. Grace. Have taken notes - much good content in this video. I have felt insecure talking in front of group #2 step may help this. Also, appreciate your articulate English & voice.
Wonderful to hear that my video is helping you. Keep up updated on your progress!
Thank you for showing me such things how to be a confident person because when l start to speak in public sometimes l am nervouse and it makes me to loose the topic that l already prepare.

Awesome and glad to hear! You got this!
This you tube channel is excellent and good for confidence development and for good development knowledge.
Great advice, Dr. Lee. You are an amazing person, and it is hard to believe that English is your second language. Thank you. 🙏
Dr. Grace Lee, your lessons are so meaningful and valuable. I learn a lot from your theory and experiences. Can you cover the topic on 'effective communication in business negotiation'. Thank you very much in advance.
Thank you for your comment, that's a great suggestion. I would be happy to answer your question in my Ask Me playlist.
As an AAP I really appreciate your videos
I love the way you communicate. You're so good. 🙏❤
Love it esp your articulation . You did not mince any words ! Thank you for your infectious zest .
Hope you are safe in this pandemic Yap?
Thank you for making communication better.
I can't tell at all you are from Hong Kong. Me too and I have been in Canada 20+. Dr Grace Lee - What did you do to get rid of the accent? I am in the process of reinventing myself and will be more visible in the short future whether it be social media, public speaking or group coaching. Dr Lee you are such an inspiration and I love your vids!
You are the best mentor I have ever seen
I think this is one of the best i have listened to
This is so good that I want to rewatch it again. And Bethesda is so grand although I remembered it as being decrepit and dangerous in the 70's when I was a little kid. Great complement to the usual Vancouver waterfront. My two favoruite running venues, Central and Stanley Parks. Cantonese is also my first language although I was born in Manhattan, but English is my de facto language. Great video and thanks.
Thank you Dr Grace Lee,this is my first of coming across your program. Am highly inspired and grateful
Welcome to my channel, Orji!

Thank you for this content it helps me a lot.’ I’ll be my husband’s interpreter tomorrow and this video answered my prayer.
I'm so grateful to hear that my content has helped you and that it was an answer to your prayer. I'd love for you to share with me how it has helped you and your husband.
I experience stage fright, but i think it helps me to thoroughly prepare my presentation
