Hello, hello dear listener and welcome into I Gast speaking part 2, describe something you did in your studies or work that has made you feel confident.
You should say when and where it happened, what you did, why it made you feel confident and explain how you felt about this.
Rory, hello. Give us your story.
I really find making sure everything flows in a logical order for the time given when I'm teaching or giving presentations has been really handy for organizing and presenting information to people.
That way everything is more efficiently done and looks quite professional as well as being more memorable.
I'm not sure there's a specific time and place when this happened it's more something I've developed over time and using different experiences I've had over the years and I suppose reflecting on them as well has been quite important.
So generally speaking I have specific things I like I make sure I include like soft stars to presentations so people who are late have a chance to catch up Uh, then reflections at the end to check for any misconceptions and just the things, the main things that people took away from a lesson or presentation.
Between that, I try and put everything in a way that allows people to understand what's being spoken about and why it's important and how it works before allowing them to try out what we are focusing on for themselves.
themselves. So they get a little bit of experience with it too, rather than just talking about it.
I wouldn't say it's particularly difficult to do.
And I think that's why it makes me feel better about doing things like that in this way, because it's so clear to me, I know what to do, and it should be clear to others too.
And so if it's clear in my head, I'm not messing around trying to explain things that I already know about very well.
If I hadn't come up with this way of doing things, I don't think I'd be quite as good at what I do as I am.
I feel like things would be more disjointed, chaotic and unclear, so it's super helpful I'm able to do this and hopefully others can as well.

See you soon! So Dennis, something you did in your studies or work has made you feel confident.
So you can choose studies or work and to kind of work what you did and you felt confident.
What else can we talk about here?
I was thinking about that just as I was organizing the answer and I was like - just being organized helps, but what are other things people could talk about.
Um, it might be developing public speaking skills, or it could be, um, looking at designing effective slides.
What about for studies?
You organize your time well, you take notes effectively.
That's quite good being able to use notes or lots of people are using AI.
Now, I don't use AI so much for my work, so that's not something I could talk about, but other people are learning how to use AI.
So this could be something that you talk about as well.
Yeah, setting out a routine for your studies like you study every day for two hours for example.
Getting more organized.
For example learning how to use this program.
Reading this book, so you learned something and then you felt more confident.
The same for your work.
Or after I learned how to use all that program, I felt more confident.
Yeah, Santana, so you should choose something that you can talk about something like easy, yeah, or lie, again, steal Rory's story.
Okay, another that is particularly exciting.
It's just putting things in a logical order.
Yeah, very good topic to talk about here would be public speaking.
Yeah. Well, maybe if you're a public speaker, so there might be a specific program that you use for your work, for example.
…Yeah, all presentations.
Just budget presentations, slides.
I learned how to make beautiful presentations, slides, so yeah, if not more confident.
And Rory here told us about giving presentations… ..Or organizing them in a logical way, so everything goes from one thing to the next in a logical manner.
You would think that this would be something that everybody could do fairly easily.
But I've seen some presentations that are NOT organised at all, and I just wonder what's the point of being there.
Yeah… So you can actually steal this idea and speak about it.
So I've learnt to organise everything in a logical order, and this has been really handy.
So useful, this has been really useful.
I've learnt how to organise and present information in a logical way.
This way everything looks professional and memorable, so people remember it and it's professional.
And we talk about positive results too, it's more efficiently done.
It's something that I've developed over time.
You just don't learn it in one day, BAM!
I'm organised, BAM!
I'm super professional!
Now, if you develop it over time, These are skills I've developed over time.
and I used different experiences I've had over the years I've used my experience at work delivering different presentations working with people, I have had over the years.
And then more technical stuff So if you talk about presentations so Rory makes slides.
and then he delivers a presentation he delivers a talk, right?
So, technically what has he done?
So, I have specific things, I make sure.
I include soft starts, so I include soft starts, so a small talk.
I include reflections at the end of the presentation, so people can remember what Rory has told them, so they reflect.
Act. It's like you deliver a token, then you say, now what are two important things that you will remember for the rest of your life?
So reflections. That's one kind of reflection, yes.
I've not used that, but I I might, actually, that's quite a good idea.
No, this is a very good idea, because even if it was a useless presentation, people will still find something interesting.
So instead of asking like, oh it was my presentation useful.
Remember two important things that you will remember for the rest of your life and then I organize my information logically to allow people to understand what is going on and make sure that they have a chance to do these things as well.
So if you give someone a chance you give them an opportunity.
Yeah, so pretty much like soft skills.
Duckers, jellison here?
You know how to start, how to finish, including reflections.
But this is about making a presentation for people, delivering a talk.
And you can say that it makes me feel better now.
So it makes me feel more confident.
So it can make you feel better about doing something.
You could say feel better about and then what the task is, but I said feel better about doing things like that.
Now, I feel that I'm good at making presentations.
I'm good at delivering a talk.
And without it, things would be more disjointed, chaotic, and unclear.
So disjointed... They just are not connected well together.
Yeah, like not well connected, not well ordered.
So, the speech was disjointed, was not connected, chaotic, chaos and disorder, and unclear.
So, you can say, I've learned to become clear, logical, and to organise the information Sims in a logical way.
I think everybody could learn how to do it.
At work and studies.
Like in studies you deliver a talk, right.
So you kind of, like, you talk to people, you answer questions.
So, kind of deliver your speech in a logical way at work.
Also, you have meetings.
Perhaps if you don't have meetings, you can lie.
So, yeah, like a universal topic to talk about, Rory, what helped you organize your answer?
I just followed the prompt again.
Really. There wasn't really much of a chance to explain why or give any background, I just started talking about what it was immediately.
It also asks when and where it happened but again, I didn't spend much time on talking about a specific time and place.
I even said I'm not sure there was a specific time and place when this happened, this is a result of years of work and thinking about things.
I spent much more time giving details on what the thing actually was and then explaining how it makes me feel and why it makes me feel that way, so it doesn't have to be perfectly balanced But all of the points that we need to be covered have been covered.
Yay! Thank you very much for listening!
And welcome back to you in our next part, speaking part 3, about confidence in general.
Bye! Describe something you did in your studies or work that has made you feel confident.
You should say where and when it happened, What you did, why it made you feel confident and explain how you felt about it.
I really find making sure everything flows in a logical order for the time given when I'm teaching or giving presentations has been really handy for organizing and presenting information to people.
That way everything is more efficiently done and looks quite professional as well as being more memorable.
I'm not sure there's a specific time and place when this happened.
Um, it's more something I've developed overtime.
I'm using different experiences I've had over the years.
I suppose reflecting on them as well has been quite important.
So generally speaking, have specific things I'd like.
I make sure I include like soft stars to presentations.
So people who are late have a chance to catch up.
Uh, then reflections at the end to check for any misconceptions and just the things, the main thing is that people took away from a lesson or presentation between that I try and put everything in a way that allows people to understand what's being spoken about and why it's important and how it works
before allowing them to try out what we are focusing on for themselves.
So they get a little bit of experience with it too, rather than just talking about it.
I wouldn't say it's particularly difficult to do.
And I think that's why it It makes me feel better about doing things like that in this way because it's so clear to me I know what to do, and it should be clear to others too.
And so if it's clear in my head, I'm not messing around trying to explain things that I already know about very well.
If I hadn't come up with this way of doing things, I don't think I'd be quite as good at what I do as I am.
I feel like things would be a bit more disjointed, chaotic, and unclear, so it's super helpful that I'm able to do this and hopefully others can as well.
