Your channel is so underrated. Thanks for uploading great content and keep up the great work!
Thank you Rozita 🙏 Really appreciate you!! Will keep going :D
Second that
Steering is a function of the situation. I did design reviews as engineer with our customers you can’t steer clear of the question the tactic is to mitigate their perceived risk and focus on the positives. Advice won’t make you good it is like a fighter you will only get better with sparring and experience. You can’t tell a fighter a few pointers and think he walks in a cage and will win, he will get overwhelmed and destroyed. What you perceive and how it is are two different things.
Great video. I am struggling under pressure,most times i froze and i dont know what to say. Tthe examples are also great, thank you for the information!
You pointed out my biggest fear! It takes a lot of gut to steer away from a question you don’t know the answer to, but it’s such a good technique
The fear for me was real too 🙈 it does get a lot easier overtime though, so there is hope!
Loved the example with Steve Jobs :) the guy cannot talk about technology, because he's not a tech guru FOR SURE, he's a marketing genius. Awesome episode, Vicky! Thank you so much))
The guy had a great answer and thank you for checking this out Olga!!
That is exactly what happens to me all the time. And, because of this "fear" I try to avoid presentation or argument because inside I know that I won't be able to bring the strong point at the heat of the moment. Only later, when I am out of the situation, answers start popping in my head and I feel miserable thinking I could have said that.
Great video and the stiring away part is definitely gonna help me a lot with interviews, Thank you! 🙏🏼
Not sure if I live it, or if I don't want to become like one of the Politicians (or CEO's) that do not communicate in a way that you make a relationship with that other person while nurturing the connection by actually responding to what they are interested in.
Or in short: caution, where you use this.
Your videos are done so well! Amazing visually and interesting
This video is so good. I wish I saw this sooner, but now is as good a time as ever. Learned a lot and enjoyed the presentation style/method. Thank you!
Your presentation is at the right baud rate for me - that is not slow to get to the point, and packed full information. I actually have to slow down a bit to get everything. Thank you so much. I might just take your class you are offering - and at this point it does not matter the topic really it's just you present well.
Very good example on Jobs take on that question.
The book A More Beautiful Question inverts the expert-as-questioner dynamic and presents a ton of questioning protocols. Naught to do with speaking under pressure; just that your point about our training to answer questions with an eye to performance and a single right answer is powerful. Being able to see yourself as a sculptor in a conversation rather than a trained seal is a worthy paradigm shift.
Such good information.
This is great. I realize I’ve been doing this on my meetings without realizing it was always the right move. I have always an swear that draws back to the point of the conversation.
Superb explanation.
Great content again!
A great video with a very important point in our daily interactions with others. I especially love the part you analyzed Steve Job's response to a tough question from the audience. You certainly deserve more views and likes.
THANK YOU Tim 🙈 Jobs seem to have been through every situation lol glad his responses are all documented on the internet 🤣
It's a pity she didn't exemplify Jobs in her narrative.
Briliant video Vicky 👍
very informative
loved this video! do you have a book that you would recommend that you felt helped you most in this topic!
I think, I ❤️ you.. You explain well..
This is brilliant. Thank you so much! I randomly landed on this channel. I plan to watch all your content in the coming days.
Awesome, thank you Ravi! So glad you found me randomly haha. Let me know what you enjoy the most and any topics that you might be interested in
This is fantastic info, really useful. Thank you, I am glad I found this.
Yay! Thank you for watching 🙏
Gem! Thanks a lot.
Great video
Aaaaaww my 'workmate', virtually. Anytime I want to concentrate I have to put your video '3 hours pomodoro' work from home'. Thank you for great work
Thanks for watching 👀
I enjoy your video too much , your topic is creative and useful , I learnt a a lots of things from you.
Aw thank you!! This makes my day! Thank you for the encouraging words and hope you'll stick around and watch more videos as they come! 🙏
thank you
If you look at the buddhist scriptures, the buddha will answer the follower's questions and cause them to see if the question is a good or bad question. In one example, a woman asked the buddha if he can revive her dead baby and he said yes, if you can find a family that has not experienced death. So, this woman went to many families and all said there is someone who has passed away before. So, these experiences caused this woman's grief to lessen and the buddha indirectly helped her to accept death. Thus, there is more than one way to think fast and talk smart.
Thanks for the amazing and informative video Vicky
Thank you for watching!!
That Anna Wintour example LOL 😆 diplomatic
Haha too true
Do you have any book recommendations on how to think quicker and communicate under pressure?
Part 2 is here! How to Think Fast with Frameworks & Mental Models: bit.ly/frameworkthinking
thumbs up
Off topic but you are GORGEOUS! I love that color on you.
What microphone do you use?
Very interesting ! I just wonder how you articulate your Zettelkasten system with your framework thinking. I mean, it seems to me that they are 2 things with opposite angles : Zettelkasten, which promotes to build knowledge a piece at a time, and then, to elaborate a big picture and framework, which is to have a big picture first.
I love that you spotted that!! My personal philosophy is that these both need to happen (scope switching) is order to understand what’s going on.
If it’s just frameworks, there’s not enough facts to test and improve. If it’s just pieces of information, they lack meaning without context!
when will the next video be up?! Thank you for this
Editiing now! Will be up Wednesday!
Any books that you'd recommend on framing/framework thinking?
Think Smarter by Michael Kallet is a good one to start with! www.amazon.com/Think-Smarter-Critical-Problem-Solving-Decision-Making/dp/1118729838
I bought this book based on your recommendation and it has nothing to do with framework thinking.
How to do this to the people who is also know about this technique?
Hi,
In the case of Steve Jobs he was well prepared and had full authority on the matter. In the case of the other politician (sorry for being ignorant on who he is), he was alright to put boundaries as he already had authority on the matter. All in all, politicians also can choose how to answer questions and they have authority to also change questions if they do not like them. So I think in your video you are referring to such people which are training to be good leaders.
But there is another side to the story. A performer I think would be a very good example. I have seen a video in which one great piano player forgot himself and then, thanks to his deeper understanding of the material, he was able to get back very quickly. Having no such understanding if I were in his place and playing, I would have forgot myself and then I would not be able to continue. Yes, improvisation is a possibility, but unfortunately it is not perceived well. The mind has a way to elevate to automatic mode, but if you fall down to manual mode you have to get up quickly.
What books do you suggest for mental models and thinking framworks
Thanks for watching Sankar! I'm making a video on this now, please stay tuned!
You are smart and so pretty 😍
5:30 how to steer the conversation comment like Steve Job! :)
But that's what I hate about speakers... To me the only thought ill have in my mind is: da heck he freaking didn't answer the question and be utmost disappointed with them.
I'm only ok if they don't know, and say I'll get back to you later.
Imagine having a discussion with Vicky 🤣
💩🧠
And the four questions?
I need to think pressure and talk smarst
Pretty sure Shou Zi Chew will have a lot of things to add on to this video right now......
I remember the feeling for being lead in any argument with my wife. And after that we remember how the conversation was steered away but all we remember is I was speechless and vulnerable to the questions. I think men are naturally on the disadvantage side as our brains can’t think as wide as females.
So, basically, ignore their questions and answer with something you randomly would rather talk about. Then what the audience will do later is talk about - still how you couldn't and wouldn't answer their questions, and on top of that, point you out as being condescending. 👌
Pretty much. Except you get to be the jerk in charge. I’d rather be that guy than the guy with the agenda wondering what happened.Do you want to be Steve Jobs or engineer #3?
Steve Jobs said nothing
I knew there was a reason I didn't like Steve Jobs.
Off topic. The examples you give are not "talking fast, under pressure." These speakers have plenty of time to think of a response and give nice, calm, measured treatises on their points of view. This is not "being under pressure." The stage is literally theirs.
Never admit a question was 'great' in any way. It is patronizing and disingenuous. Its a gap filler and embarrassing for a professional to use. Note that Jobs didn't say that! If you are stumped by the question: be positive: 'what particularly forms that question?. Can you give me more background on that question?, Let's run back to what we are doing here [then recap] (that is what Jobs did).
Naa it’s fine
Can also say “that’s a good point” or “I had the same question and in fact we did XYZ.”
The great question bit is supposed to mean that you were actually listening to what they said. It also helps to just repeat what they said back to them and then say ya…that’s a good question.
Reason being is because you *want* to buy yourself time. Repeating what the other person said (or the question) is the best way to do that…gives you enough time to formulate an actual decent response
Listening in general, being smart and being prepared is also a good strategy xD.
Some background: I speak with celebrity level clients, their agents and managers and associates for nearly my whole life. Usto do it in music as an underling and now do it as a manager of an animation studio
don't try this technique at an oral exam
