If it is done for nonselfless reasons, it crosses into manipulation. This content is largely presented as manipulation techniques. However, a lot of this can be used to help with minor confidence issues, but not serious ones.
At first when i found this channel i thought so too Agent, but as i watch more and more i realized that many of these videos are to teach you how to communicate better. In a way that your intentions are heard while removing the possibilities of misunderstandings. for example i watched some relationship videos and also charisma videos and they both teach communication techniques that help you get your intentions to the other person (significant other, friend, family, stranger, etc..). i do see your point though that some of the charisma videos may seem as manipulation tactics but tryign seeing it from the perspective of someone who doesnt know how to communicate properly and messes up alot of interactions. these vids help them not to manipulate others but create a relationship where both parties can understand each other.
"No problem" to me could mean, "it wasn't a problem for me - to go out of my way for you. Of course I'd do it, we're good friends. No problem." That's what I hear.
I’ve heard that “no problem” is rude but I feel like “you’re welcome” is worse. I say no problem all the time. But I’ve heard in some cultures it comes off as rude 🤷♀️
@@apersononyoutube1496 i like the sound of 'no problem' much better, depending on the tone. 'you're welcome' feels like i'm putting the attention onto the other person rather than accepting it. i feel like it's kind of... confrontational? i guess? final? it feels strange to me.
"No problem"Charlie,we'll try not to "screw up" these tips and "I don't know if everyone agrees but","you always" make great videos so "thank you in advance"😂
When you say I am too sensitive, I feel ... :D PS I think, for the 2nd part "you don't realize how much those words can hurt if said by a mother" should work.
It's a lot simpler than anyone could imagine. Confidence is a facade designed to dominate an environment to an individuals will, if you listen carefully to his words it supports this. Confidence is not a tool people use to improve others lifestyle, but rather our own, and we will never admit this because we are naturally selfish. Just love yourself even though you will make mistakes throughout life, some really bad. You are the only true support system for yourself, because the idea that some one will help you in any way without benefitting themselves is a lie. Consider the fact that you have to pay for their service. You cannot buy confidence, it must be taught and earned.
I noticed a year ago not to say "You already told me that" when a friend tells me a story that I've already heard, instead "I remember you telling me this" sounds more genuine.
I have this problem with my girlfriend and sometimes I react as if it were new but often it slips and I say "you've already told me that". I'm afraid I may be hurting her
DarkHero - Destiny 2 Videos just try to make it sound as if you want her to know that you remember her telling it to you, so it means that you care about the things she tells you and memorizes it, that way she won’t be hurt but will actually feel loved. like if she tells you a story about an annoying coworker instead of saying “yeah you already told me that” (which might be hurtful) say something like “yesss! i remember you telling me about this guy/girl. they are horrible” and try to make it a contribution to the conversation, so now she can tell you something else, not a way to end it with “I heard it before don’t want to hear about it again”. it’s so beautiful that you’re concerned with hurting her btw 💗 bless
David Erick Ramos - Ocarina at Chick-fil-A I noticed they responded to my 'thank you' with 'my pleasure' instead of 'no problem' or 'you're welcome', and I like the response so much I started using it myself. Lol Good 'ol Chick-fil-A customer service. :-)
This dude and his friend This dude: woah, thanks for picking me up, man His friend: hey, no problem **sudden and uncomfortable silence** This dude: His friend: This dude: aM i a jOke tO yOu?
1. Glad to help 2. There may be a mistake. Let’s figure it out? 3. Frame positively 4. When you _____, I feel _____. 5. I’d love to help you by ______.
1. No Problem ... Happy to help 2. You Screwed Up ... I think there may be a mistake 3. This isn't great, but ... (try to be more positive, some of you may recognize.. 4. You always/never ... I feel BLANK when you BLANK 5. ending on a value-take vs value-giving
RP's list is useful once having watched the video, but the framing information he gives for each of these points is important and useful, so I would still recommend watching the full thing, Wag Wan. :)
pretty sure the reason why people say "no problem" is because most people can feel like asking for a favor, even a simple one, is a huge burden on the person helping them and so, to reassure them that it's not we say "no problem". honestly if my good friend said "happy to help" I'd give them a really odd look because it just sounds weird.
Rephrase it then. I have a friend who often says something like "For you, anytime". And that carries a different sentiment compared to "No problem" (which I like to use)
1) Don't reply "no problem" when a friend thanks you, you should say "happy to help" 2) Don't say "you screwed up"/"you messed up" to a waiter, you should tell him "I think there is a mistake, could you help me to figure it out?" 3) Don't say "This is not great/interresting but..", just say "This is a topic/song that might interrested you" 4) In a fight, don't use "you never/always (blabla)", you should say "when you (blabla), I feel (blabla)" 5) In emails, when you ask something don't say "I'd love to ask you about (blabla)", you should should turn it as a gift Ex: don't write "I'd love to be in your video" but "I'd love to help you" Great video!😄
Lol people reading the email are mostly either : - Too stressed to care because they have more important things to check like what their boss who can fire them in a pinch told them to worry about - Have lost their eyes in the war and can't read what is perfectly typed in by an individual who knows exactly what the company wants but company legit doesn't know for some reason - Plainly didn't see because... either stress or lack of eyes And then there's the 1% of sociopathic people who will disect every of your words. But they virtualy don't exist because : nobody has time anyway. You have to be concise with what you write because they read diagonally anyway. Just use the simplest of words and go straight to the point and don't had flourishes. Unless you're directly writing to the director or something. They're the only one who take the time to read the email entierely. But the thing you should NEVER do is being overly polite. Especially if you sent it to the director. That's the most advices I can give right now 😂
1) Comic Sans font for everything. 2) Entire email as a single block paragraph. 3) Start email with "Hey," unless it's to someone much higher than you in the organization, then it should start with "Hey!" 4) Don't use words if you can use an emoji. Use numbers in the place of words whenever possible. 5) If you don't get a response within 5 minutes, "Reply All" to your own email with a simple "???????"
@@thevoxdeus this is solid advice, I just signed a $2 billion deal with Bill Gates, Elon Musk is now my Godfather and Warren Buffet is my brother-in-law.
Summary: 1. Don't say "no problem" when you do someone a favor. Say "happy to help", indicating that you actually care about the person. 2. Don't say "you screwed up". Say "I think there may be a mistake, can you help me out?". Why? You're using the passive voice, so you are not directly focusing on who is to blame. In addition, "can you help me out" sets up a goal for both people. 3. Don't disqualify preemptively. For example, don't start a speech off with "I didn't really have enough time to.." or "I know this isn't something very interesting, but..", because in this way you frame the next thing you are going to say as not good. Instead, just tell your story, or put a positive frame in advance - "Hey, this topic is very timely..", "This is a topic that may interest you..". 4. Don't say "you always/never..." + something negative (if it is positive, it's good). A much better think to say is "When you do X, I feel Y". Example "When you say that I am not good at singing, it makes me feel like you don't really value our friendship.". This is a fact that cannot be disputed, as the fact is that what someone did made you FEEL a certain way. 5. Don't use statements that imply you only take value like "I'd love to pick your brain about" or even "Thank you in advance.". Instead, offer value or at least trade value. For example, "I see you might need help with X and i could help". Before you send a request, like an e-mail, check the last line and check whether it is implied that you want to take value, give value or trade value.
I certainly feel pissed whenever anyone says that to me, as it's not true to me, and such, leads to arguments. Ah, if only they knew what they're saying.
0:45: No Problem. Instead say "I'm Happy To Help" 1:49: You screwed up. Instead be passive and more polite and say "I think there's a mistake.." 3:29 Don't start something by saying it will be bad. Instead say nothing or add something that relates to the viewers 4:47 You always/ You Never. Instead say "When you say....., it....." 6:29 Don't sign off by "asking". Instead "give" :D
I’ve tried to to stop saying you’re welcome. It’s a command when someone says thank you and you are welcome. You are actually saying “yea you should be thankful”
I think saying "You're welcome!" with a genuine inflection in your voice, turning your head to look at the person you're saying it to, and smiling when you say it can be extremely effective. You're telling someone they're welcome to your time and help whenever they need it. It's useful in situations where "I'm happy to help!" can come across as a bit over-the-top to the type of person you're speaking to. I like a sincere and positive "You're welcome!"
Another big one is to try to always say"thank you" instead of "sorry." For example, instead of "I'm sorry for being late" try saying, "thank you for waiting for me." In both cases you acknowledge the situation to the other person, but when you say thank you it shows you appreciate them continuing to work with you anyways.
He literally is a sociopath. He gets messages from people who genuinely want to help him, and all he does is explain how those helpful people let themselves be vulnerable. This is why the whole politics and hollywood scene is so cancerous
Arr Ere nah he had it right. Sociopaths do care but only for selfish reasons. They stop caring the moment the other no longer has any value to offer, being seen as vulnerable could be seen as "this person is weak and will not be of any service" the moment that happens, the charm usually stops too and that's when they really don't care and can become aggressive and the usual sociopathic behavior begins
"happy to help" seems like a weird way to phrase it...like if someone said it to me it'd feel a bit too much to me. I guess an "any time" or "of course" would do just fine right?
It's more common than you think. In fact my last job psychologically conditioned me to accept blame for the misfortune of others even when it's my fault; my boss called it 'holding myself accountable.' It's what I had to do to survive the job. That's just one example of how I've been psychologically scarred by different aspects of life; work, school, home.
I had a 'friend' who constantly used it on me. Whenever something slightly went wrong, he went "You screwed up" (not as a joke, he was serious). It just makes you feel bad and you don't want to tell that person anything anymore cause you feel like you're constantly disappointing them. It also feels like they're being really aggressive, even if that's probably not the case
In the retail/restaurant industry, things like that are actually very common. Please be nice to the people that work in those types of establishments, they deal with all kinds of crap, and have almost no power at all to do anything about it, except take it and keep going.
@@strivingfornewhorizons9281 I hate to tell you, but your "friend" is a toxic narcissist. One of their games (yes, it's a game to them) is to make you feel bad about yourself at every possible chance. I learned the hard way not to tell anyone anything about myself until I knew they would never hold it against me, and I can count the number of people on one hand. There are things I've never even told my husband, and we've been together for 25 years. That's why we've been together for 25 years.
He's using what's called 'extemporaneous delivery.' It's how he's able to do entire sections without jump cuts, mistakes or hitches. The guy obviously has a LOT of public speaking experience. As someone who also does, I can tell. I learned it in college, and it's one of the best skills I've cultivated for myself.
I never understood why people are so mean to waiters. Great advice in this one though. I always rephrase my arguments with my hubby lol. Also, I need to stop putting myself down before showing something I created. Love the give at end of email; going to use that at work.
I also worked in fast food and have many buddies who have. I don't get angry easily but know many of my republican friends who do that. Here in California at least.
Jayne Nicoletti Hi, I used to have a student who did that (saying things like, "i haven't been able to do my homework well but here it is, sorry"). I always saw it as a pre-self-destructive move to garner sympathy or as a ploy to stop me from having to critique the work. I coached the student out of this habit because i wanted the student to let the work speak for itself. Hope this inspires. Best of luck with your hubby!
There is a restaurant nearby that I frequent; and by a: being a “regular”, and b: going out of my way to be NICE to the staff (waiters thru cook & floor management) I get much nicer service... for example, if I order an appetizer, I’ll often find that there’s a few extra pieces more thrown in than is listed on the menu. Oh, and it helps to leave tips, too... people often forget that waiters are taxed by the IRS based on presumed tips, no matter if they got that tip or not... 🤔
8. Hey adoomy gang, hope your having a wonderful fantastic, amazing day, because im having a wonderful fantastic amazing day so you should be having a wonderful amazing fantaastic day!
I play music professionally. #3 kills me for years. So many people want to get up and start the song with this qualifier. “Hey I just learned this, so go easy on me…blah blah blah”. It’s the absolute worst thing you can do. You instantly invite scrutiny where there was none, and even if you perform well, people will think you are a hack, anyway.
Also a professional muso, I think it can come across cheeky/endearing if you execute it really well. Sometimes it's nice for fans to see you're only human, or that unlike the cocky primadona stereotype, you're secure enough to be real about your imperfections
yup. just like that one kid that cries and says theyre gonna fail but end up being the top student. this only works if that person already likes you or idolises you.
I'm a host at a restaurant and some people are so rude automatically! A lady came up to me today and in a harsh tone, with her finger wagging, said "We need our bill. We've been waiting FOREVER and nobody has given it to us." I apologized, printed one out, walked over to her table, but there was a receipt already on the edge, just behind a plate so somehow none of the six customers at that table saw it. >.>
@@tehwinnerz5006 I hope she didn't. Pick your battles. This one was small enough to just let it go. Not worth the ego hit to the customer and their dislike of her for hitting them (metaphorically speaking). Don't fight assholery with more assholery. ;)
1. No problem -> Happy to help (reinforces friendships) 2. You screwed up -> There's a mistake, help me figure it out 3. This isn't great but... 4. You always/never followed up with something negative -> When you say ___, I feel like ___. 5. In emails: I'd love to learn from you (an ask) -> I could give you these insights (a give)
@@LadyVoldemort I think his point was about those situations where you did something significant for another person and saying "you're welcome" is acceptable, but saying "happy to help" would reinforce the relationship better.
It's really hard for us in Australia, because the majority of our common phrases is saying what something 'isn't'. "Where's the shops?" - "Not far" "How are you?" - "Not bad" "When do they arrive? - "Not long"
I like that you always give alternatives to what you're trying to stop. You don't just say; "That thing you do is stupid, stop it", you rather say "Its better if you do this that way and here's why ... "
I remember personally when someone would thank me for helping them a great deal with some that mattered to them, my usual response was “of course, that’s what friends are for”
I love how you learn so much from just observing people. With observation, a small insight into psychology and even exercising your speech with close friends you can identify a lot of this. Though the last one I really didn't consider. Always more to learn :) I'm going to dig through this channel to see if there's one in continuing conversations even without being in person because I feel like a lot of people could benefit. I want to praise you on your singular take and not just chopping it all up in multiple shots. That's a tough feat for anyone. :)
No problem: Nobody thinks that when they hear someone say, "No problem." It's a phrase in the vernacular, on par with "That's okay," "No charge," You'd do it for me," etc . . . If you're looking for problems where no problems exist, that's on you.
Over-analyzing "no problem" is quite a problem here...most of us when we say it, we certainly do not have any poor intentions and it generally just comes from a genuine place.
He’s saying to reinforce the favor and build a trust by establishing you’re happy to help. No problem is still valid, but it’s a missed opportunity to show you genuinely care.
I think you both are right. Yes, you both above me! I think "happy to help" is an oppurtunity to express your genuine happiness doing good to a person and the act itself expresses it without words.
Crazy vid. Just think if you used it 50 times that is 50 times people have thought what you doesn't matter because it wasn't a problem. Instead of 50 times where you went out of your way to make things easier at work.
In a professional situation, where I tried to avoid saying "you messed this up", I tried the "can you explain this" because I knew that in the process of the other person explaining it, they'd come to realize what was wrong. OR *I* would realize the way in which I was thinking about it in the less than optimal way. But one time it really backfired because the other person came to believe that I was completely ignorant and incompetent, rather than trying to work together to reach a better solution. That led to him being a greater and greater jerk and having to the VP having to come down and settle him down. Very stressful.
When I say "no problem" it's simply because I have a social anxiety. And feel like a burden when I have to ask people for a favor. Thus when I say no problem, it's meant to be interpreted as "you're not a burden or you're not a problem to me, I wanted to help."
"Do you think this is contagious?" "That looks better on your mom." "Is your sister single?" "Why are puppies so fun to kick?" "That looks better on your dad."
Your analysis of "no problem" is slightly flawed. Now cutting "no problem" out of usage is quite safe and "happy to help" is indeed an alternative that would be hard to misinterpret, but "no problem" doesn't quite translate the way you said. Sometimes "no problem" translates that way, which makes "no problem" a situationally inappropriate phrase. At other times, mostly with a millenial audience, "no problem" translates as a high-value marker of someone/something. If your friend was flying into the country after being away for years and you drove a minivan 600 miles, I'm American, to pick him/her and all of his/her stuff up and you resond to their gratitude with "no problem" it is implying that when measured against the value of that person the time and money spent to pick him/her up is next to nothing.
exactly, i see it as 'it wasn't a problem for me'. it kind of implies the same thing as 'happy to help' - that you're available to help out and you don't see it as any cost to you for which the other person should feel indebted to you for (which is kinda what 'you're welcome' implies).
Nothing wrong with "no problem." Just don't use it if you wish to be closer to that person. "Happy to help" builds your relationship with someone. It's generally warmer, in my opinion.
EpicFires depends on your relationship and generation. With my closest friends, “you’re welcome”/“happy to help” just sound really stilted and formal. In a more formal setting (like a workplace), “happy to help” makes a lot more sense.
EpicFires I don’t think it’s actually gonna make you closer with people though really? Surely no one notices or cares whether you say no problem or happy to help.
اختصار الفيديو : كيف ترفع كاريزمتك اكثر ١- لا تقلل من قيمة الخدمات اللي تقدمها للآخرين ( ولا تمنّ عليهم ايضًا بالمقابل) ٢- عند حدوث مشكلة لا تلقي اللوم على الاشخاص بقولك : اعتقد انك اخطأت، بل قل اعتقد ان هناك خطأ ما. حتى لا يشعر الطرف الاخر بالاهانة او التقليل . ٣- كلنا مرينا بموقف لما احد مثلا يطلبنا نغني فنقول : انا مو موهوب ، انا صوتي مو حلو ، انا (كلام سلبي) قبل لا نغني .. وهالشيء خطأ كبير لأننا نعطي الناس انطباع مبدئي وحكم يعتمدون عليه عشان يوصفونك مهما جاملوك بعدها. بدل هالشي غنّي مباشرة بدون لا تعطي وصف محرج او تنحرج ٤- لما يكون فيه شخص يقول كلام سلبي ، بدل لا تقول له "انت دائمًا ردة فعلك سلبية وتكسرني" مثلاً ( كذا انت كمان بتصير سلبي لانك ترسخ فيه عادة لما تقول كلمة دائمًا ) قول له لما تقول الكلام ذا انا احس بكذا.
This channel is so awesome and I love it! It all kind of boils down to "treat other people how you would like to be treated, be kind, and lift others up in action and speech." these tips are sooo needed in a world that seems to stress stepping on other people/guarding yourself to get ahead. Couldn't appreciate the positivity of this channel more!
Honestly there are so many phrases that are thrown around as often as the word "like" and people (including myself) don't put to much thought into those phrases.
I tend to say "No worries" or "pleasure" its an English thing, I would have always thought no problem always meant that helping the friend is - well literally saying happy to help.
Saying "no problem" isn't in any way implying "if it had been a problem, I might not had done it", nor is implying if there was a cost, you wouldn't have done it. What you're saying is "it's not a problem to help you out". They're already thanking you for your help. No reason to make a bigger deal out of it than it is. I actually think more highly of people when they go out of their way to help me and brush it off like it's not a big deal by using phrases like "no problem" or "any time". Makes it seem like they're just naturally helpful people or that helping me out is a no-brainer.
You are absolutely right that it stems from that expression and intention but I think often people will interpret things differently than strictly logical, and of course some people, like yourself, are more rational and introspective and this effect wouldn't occur, but then also a lot of people don't really think that much about their interactions with people leaving them easily influenced by wording. What do you think?
Buster Franken I agree with this, I have friends that wouldn't think twice about word usage in thanking someone, and another groups of friends that are very self-conscious that are annoyed with the "no problem" deal. Are we really upgrading our speech, or eliminating phrases we don't like based on personal perspective is what I'd like to ask.
You’re right - the intention is good and both people are probably happy in the interaction. However, it might apply a little differently to the human psyche; we mostly ignore the word “no”. If in an interaction a person hears “no problem”, “you are never boring”, or “that wasn’t bad, most might remember only “problem”, “boring” and “bad” - and not the real compliment you want to pass along.
Point 3, that preempitve disqualification, is a form of damage control right? Don't know if you've ever done a video on this before, but could you make one that focuses more on damage control? (for example instead of asking a girl/guy out directly, kinda vaguely but not really but kinda asking them out so that if they reject you you can always pretend that they never cared anyway)
Hey, I have a small question. When someone compliments me on how, for example, funny I am, it always takes me by surprise and I don't know what to say back. I mean, "thank you," would be appropriate, but when I go back to the previous conversation, I find that I get self conscious and want to live up to that "expectation." Is there anyway to fix this?
I always respond with something silly like "If you think that was funny, you should see me when I wake up in the morning" or "geez, what a nice way of saying that I'm not pretty" or whatever else you like. I self-deprecate a lot but in a non-pathetic, "oh I'm such a loser" way and it always helps to have fun with yourself as long as you know your worth and have good self-esteem. Don't overthink your responses though, relax, compliments are not trick questions. Good luck!
Also, about the third thing, I feel like you're kinda 50%-ish right. Mostly cause there are such things as "Hype Aversion", then it's opposite "Bile Fascination". And also "Hype Backlash", and it's very own opposite "Guilty Pleasure". -Hype Aversion, for those who are curious, is, as an example, when people tell you to watch something that is AMAZING, and you keep pushing it away, and have less and less interest in doing it. -Bile Fascination is the opposite, when someone says something is horrible, and you gotta check if it's THAT bad. -Hype Backlash is when you finally give in after that Hype Aversion, to sit back, relax, and see if that thing is genuinely that good, only to see it wasn't as good to you as it was to others, essentially making it seem overhyped. -Guilty Pleasure, as most of you know, is when you end up enjoying something that most people hated. Anyway, the reason why I'm mentioning this is because, well, while it makes sense that when you tell someone "Well, it's kinda bad, but...", you can get them to expect something genuinely bad, HOWEVER, in most cases, it just creates a "Bile Fascination", and makes the person wanting to see how bad it is, and if that something isn't genuinely as bad, they tend to be a bit surprised, cause it's better than what they expected, and then go like "Oh, what do you mean? This is pretty nice!". So opening that with a positive statement might not be the best thing, cause not only could it create a "Hype Aversion", but also a "Hype Backlash", and such. Not to mention that when you start with "Well, this isn't that good, but...", or something along those lines, you might even end up seeming humble! Your way potentially works, but I feel like it mostly works in rather extreme, and specific cases. (As for those terms that most of you knew existed, but never knew the names of, you can thank TV Tropes, it's a rather fun site where you kinda tend to find out the names of all sorts of tropes, and irl things, that you never knew had a name! And if you knew about it, well, I hope you haven't lost hours on it like I have :/)
"Not to mention that when you start with "Well, this isn't that good, but...", or something along those lines, you might even end up seeming humble!" - Just my opinion: I wouldn't make a habit of this. I and many people I know tend to downplay what they can do and at some point it's kinda annoying. I noticed this with friends, one of them for example always responded to compliments about his athleticism with "I'm not that good". After a long time it kinda started to piss me off because we all knew, including him, that among the people we know he's by far the best at what he does. Of course there exist people who are much better, but that's not relevant. If you do it occasionally, you can seem humble, but not if you do it all the time
Great video. You would say that the "you do blank, makes me feel blank", if you're a guy, instantly puts you in a submissive place. I used to try this in my younger days, to men and women, and it always backfired. Maybe it works for some, but I haven't said "feel" in over 20 yrs and been better for it.
I’m really surprised with all of the negativity in the comment section. As a human communication researcher, I can assure you that there is an abundance of support for each of these points in psychological and communicative scholarly literature! Nice work. Very interesting and informative stuff.
Yeah ur right, if you do a favor for someone and say no worries its the same. But is it the same to say "No worries when someone is apologizing to you?
#1... I was taught never to say no problem or “de nada” in Spanish after someone says thank you because I blessed them with sneezing. This is because it used to be believed (idk if it still is lmao) that sneezing is bad, so you gotta bless someone so their health can be good again. Saying “de nada” implies that, that action was nothing, no problem
These are opinions folks. There is no problem with using "no problem". I know this guy has probably said it before, but charisma isn't about your choice of words, but almost entirely how you deliver them.
Aww, nice to see a face to the voice and brains!! Lol, but honestly though, you know how you can hear someone smiling? Not laughing, but just ....?you know
#1 is one of my favorite lessons, because I consciously utilize both the "right" and "wrong" phrases. Sometimes, you *don't* want someone to think you hugely value them... as terrible as that may sound.
I don't agree with the last point, I understand what he means but people who have positions of status are not always interested in being helped. I would think his statements have the possibility of being seen as an insult, such as "oh I have this ability' (which you are lacking) "and I would love to help you" (because you clearly need help). It could depend on the tone of the entire email though.
I do numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5. Thanks to this video I may be able to fix that. Thank you for all the help. I have a whole playlist of your videos and I can't wait to start substiuting in all these tips. You're a lifesaver.
As a psychologist I can tell you that instead of me saying things like "when you say this I feel that," I just smile at them and say "you know, there's the pill for what you're going through."
Just found your channel recently. My business requires a lot of prospecting and client interactions and your videos have really given me a lot of great advice and tips to increase my social effectiveness, plus you’re also entertaining. Thanks for the videos, big fan!
If you lower someone's expectations and then impress them their mind might actually be blown. "This is a work in progress" or "I have been struggling with this one for a while but here goes" might frame the performance/act as less than impressive and if it is then no harm, but if it is impressive it's like 'wow, that's what they do when their not totally on point, they must be a genius'. It might come off as false modesty, but if you are coming from a place of honesty it will work out more often than not.
