- How smart do you think you are? How smart do you think other people think you are?
In this video, I share four very simple yet effective tips to help you elevate your credibility at work and increase your ‘perceived intelligence’.
1️⃣ Simplify your Language - less is more!
2️⃣ When sharing an idea, boil it down to a single point - this works wonders for credibility!
3️⃣ Up the Confidence - because confident behavior leads to greater perceived ‘competence’
4️⃣ Level-Up your Vocabulary - some slight tweaks can make a world of difference!

Life lessons which people learn late in their lives
Thank you! I have a question for how to leverage and display confidence in the remote working environment - I have been a fully remote employee for the past two years, the rest of my team used to be in person. Now that we are all remote, colleagues are more adaptable to video calls, etc. but if you have advice on implementing and displaying confidence when not on a video call, but just a conference call, let me know as well!
Could you please elaborate?
You are brilliant. Thank you for the great service. Do you have any courses offered with or without fee? I am interested.
@@mramesh999 nothing in this world is free, people have to eat and have bills to pay you mongrel...
1. Simplify your language
2.Boil it down into single point
3.Be confident
4.Level up vocabulary
thxs.
Thank you for that ❤️❤️❤️
Or just be attractive and skip the list
Thanks
I was about to watch full video. But this comment saved my time :p.. Thanks.
As an introvert, I'm going to practice some of these with my dog this weekend to make sure I sound confident and get it right...
I have two dogs and five cats..I hope to get some feedback from at least one of them! 🤣 #introvertsunite
Well as fellow introvert I tend to space out as soon as people are looking me into eye. 😁 so those tricks don't work for me 😜
🤣😂
Make sure ur dog is not conscious at the time 😅
And let's go imagine our boss is a dog lol jk 😅✌️
Using positive words instead of negative is a game changer. I have been using this in my life and work and I see a drastic difference in my confidence / perception
Dear Shade
I am student of law for around forty years and a retired lawyer.
You have conveyed wonderful concepts to the masses. Even I was not aware of such invaluable propositions.
I am immensely benefitted.
All the four points are important.
I found that the first point is most important for me
Please keep posting such videos.
Your presentation is so smooth that understanding the hacks comes almost naturally. God bless you Shadé
Thank you for the kind words!
@@ShadeZahrai she has a point @Ezekiel Johnson
@@ShadeZahrai you deserve it , thanks for the video
You hit the nail, Miss Shade. We have learned from you that a slight adjustment of words and the correct vocabulary makes a huge difference in building perceived competence in the eyes of senior managers and peers at work. Thank you for the valuable Vlog.
my preferable point it is third one ''be confident'' it is really highly important that any employee has confident in the work place.
Seamless flow and crystal clear message. Its always great to learn from the experts
Favorite take away ~ End a point with a sentence long summary or action ~ The key takeaway so the team is engaged and refocused in the conversation.
Amazing advice Shadé. This was so helpful and I will certainly adapt some of these tips 🙏🙏. You’ve gained another follower!
Glad I discovered this channel. Every tip is actionable. The use of "correct vocabularies" speaks to me.
The art of positive communication is everything in this dynamic world! Glad you embarked on this path to empower the needy in the society!
Shade, it's delight to hear you speaking. Love your diction and accent ❤️
Being introverted, I face this challenge all the time at work.
I’m going to try consciously to implement some of these suggestions. Thank you so much sharing these important tips.
I’m an Army Veteran, doctor and professor. You’re wonderful. Fabulous content, eloquently expressed and always relevant. Keep it up.
Thanks for sharing, i will practice no.1 simplify the language- less is more
It was so practical and helpful like always Shade! Thanks for the hacks.Could you please share more vocabulary-related hacks? Some more advice to appear more professional than junior, especially for people that English is their second language and might be less aware of the impression of the words they use daily at work. Thanks a lot.XX
Art of dealing people with empathy and create awareness about sustainable development, environment.
I love the 4th hack - Level up your vocabulary. It's simply fantastic!
Knowledge is always important but to share in a manner where everyone who listens understands it completely to your level of perception is really commendable. Always love to listening to you. Keep Going - Keep Growing Shade. ❤
These last few weeks have been tough. I have found that if I start my day with one of your videos, it does not matter which one, my days are a little brighter! Thanks for sharing this content!
With half a million subscribers i still feel she is the most underrated youtuber, she deserves so much more...
Shade, your tips are just brilliant, and thank you so much for transferring your wisdom.
Thanks for this informative video Shade ! these four points will really help me in being more confident and competent at work . using simple clear words will be the better way to show ourself as more productive and smart as for the promotion you will nail it by being as natural as possible .
I can't believe how much I learnt from this video,
Shadé! My most relevant hack was: boiling down an idea to just one single point. On my Social Media accounts, instead of writing a lot of words to promote my song, or album, or music video: I can just use one simple sentence! And if I want to share the story behind the music I'm releasing, a little documentary video will be more well received than paragraphs of words, haha! Thanks Shadé :) 💛
Glad you found some useful insights Chronade for your music career!
"Speak your ideas with self belief and conviction" . Thanks a lot :) Next video on "how to say no to extra work"
As a introvert I often get overlooked and was in special ED because I have seizures so I have trouble with my vocabulary and Punctuation. I believe between the two it held me back from learning what I needed to learn for my future which makes me uncomfortable and less confident. In grade school my teacher kicked me out in 3rd grade because i was having to many seizures. So my mom had to start home schooling me and she did an amazing job where I was learning faster than I have ever before. I still have trouble with my vocabulary, spelling, verbs, and Ad-verbs, and grammar.
Thank you
I really like these videos. Amazing how a lot of what you are posting is relatable and glad there is a community that are in a similar position. As a general point, would it be possible to have a video on how to respectfully disagree with a senior on a technical principle (especially when they are not understanding the technical concept in the meeting)?
Maybe you are not understanding their understanding.
- Can you please elaborate on this point specifically please. I need to look at where your standing.
(Specificity)
I can relate to the 4th one… it raises our credibility by simply making smart vicab choices like explain vs elaborate. Thanks
Thank you. The way you called out for authenticity as the underlying step upfront made this video that much more meaningful.
Yes... Definitely.. It's important to sound smarter Shade.. Really helpful.. Thanks❤❤😊😊
Hi Nancy! Thanks for the comment - happy to hear it's helpful! ☺️🙏
2:52 HUH!!!?😅 I've watched your reaction multiple times🤷🏻♂️😂 you are charming🎯
I love her
I am a “words person.” This is the kind of advice I can apply because I pay so much attention to the words I use. Thank you!
My favourite hack is the first one...This was one of the feedback I received years ago from one of my English language professors that it is your message and not your use of flowery language that matters the most! Thanks for this quick reminder, ma'am!
Excellent Video 👍. I am going to take on the 2nd point to "Boil it down to single point".
"Be confident" can be a separate baggage to clear before getting there. And " Level up vocabulary " is an art and practise. Top class tips ⭐👍
I totally agree with you
Hello, Shade, you are the best person I've found on the subject of personal development. Thank you so much. Bless you🙏🙏
Your personality is beyond words, i mean it's on another level, how i wish i could meet you in person.
So just like all the times another great video
1. Simplify your words
2. Boil it down to single point
3. Be Confident
4. Level -up your vocabulary
Fantastic Shade 👏
Thank you very much Sudhir ☺️🙏
Thanks Shade

Don't be creepy. Weirdo
Thank you so much, Mrs. Zahrai 🙏🏼 Sending you lots of love from Indonesia 🇮🇩
You're welcome Billy 🙏🏽 Sending best wishes from Australia 😊
Beautifully in simple language explained and covered business communication fundamentals in the shortest duration possible. 👌
Hi Shade, It's great to hear you for the first time ..the way you delivered the message was incredible !! Lovely & to the point .
Hey Sharde, your points are all valid, however I did most of these things when I use to work at one of the Big 4 banks and it didn't seem to make a difference. I think it all depends who you work for, sometimes doing things right comes across as someone that's shaking things up, and to uneducated managers, who somehow become managers, it comes across as someone challenging conventional ways. Managers at work are all about targets, they don't really care about anything else. So unless you are a manager, the points you made really won't make much of a diff from my experience
WOW!! This is great!! I will definitely apply what I have learned in this video at work. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. God bless you 🙏🏼
I hope it’s helpful for you Luciana! Sometimes the small tweaks can have the biggest impact 🙏🙂 Wishing you all the best in your career!
@@ShadeZahrai thank you!! 🥰
What you say is so direct, simple and correct that I simply love it. Keep going!!
The best thing I like about your content is that the suggestions you give are quite practical and has helped me improve a lot ☺️😊.
I am very much grateful to you 🤗
Keep up the good work 👍
Thank you, Shade, I liked specific vocabulary we should use, I would love to get a book or something to read about language aspect)
You're so welcome Alsu! Thanks for your comment. 🙏
Lovely! You focused on Business Communications. :)
Thank you! 🙂
perfect as always. I hope your channel grows more and more.
I really admire your videos. These hacks if practiced, can definitely make anyone better in their communication in corporate offices.
Brilliant contents as always, Shadé! (I almost wrote “awesome” there). Any book recommendations to learn positive words like the examples you’ve provided? Thank you!
Haha, sometimes its Ok to use 'Awesome' 😊 thank you for the kind words. I don't have a recommendation as I don't know of any particular books on the topic of positive phrases. Perhaps you can search for it online.
1. Simplify your message. (Limit corporate jargon. Be easy to understand)
2. Boil it down to a simple point.
3. Be confident
4. Modify vocabulary: problem/issue/challenge to complication. Change to modify, cool/awesome to fantastic or brilliant, explain to elaborate
I just found your channel today! I’m going to watch one of your videos everyday! I appreciate the positive and encouraging videos! Fantastic job!
I like 1. To present an idea with clarity, simplicity; 2. To finish by restating my idea in a clear way; 3. To grow in this in an authentic way;
My favourite: to query what was said for greater understanding by choosing my words that reflect confidence and agility 😊
I loved, please elaborate. It is brilliant! (See what I did there?) 😉
I experienced this problem myself. It was my lack of qualifications that was the catalyst for me being overlooked, ignored and taken advantage of.
Even though I had ton of experience, and was often carrying new employees who were getting paid far more then I was, I received zero acknowledgement for it whatsoever.
There's a lot of talk about equality in the world at the moment, and I would like to bring to people's attention the abuse and mistreatment that goes on for low skilled/payed workers such as myself just because of a piece of paper...
Thank you for sharing this Svenka. In my experience so many people suffer from the injustice of being overlooked, undervalued and abused. I do a lot of work with women around the world who seem to universally struggle with some levels of imposter syndrome, lack of confidence, asking for what they're worth and being treated fairly. Its good to see that more people, like you are speaking out, and contributing to change the status quo.
Thank you lovely for taking the time to respond. It can indeed be very unfair and cruel out there. I just wish I studied more so I could then work for myself and wouldn't have to answer to nobody.
(Apart from the taxman)
I think there comes a point where you just get sick of playing second fiddle and ones patience and tolerance levels disappear. Must have something to do with overwork, frustration, and perhaps a massive dose of invisible man syndrome 😁.
It can be hard to address such issues with some managers as they are more then happy to carry on treating you this way, and only believe that your causing problems and being difficult.
They then try to fabricate excuses to get rid of you, as they won't tolerate any small fry rocking the boat pointing out their shortcomings.
I believe that having a good education is the only way to shield yourself from such miss treatment, as it's the one thing people respect when it comes to the workplace.
🌹 Keep up the good work your doing great...😉
Every word you say really touches its meaning. You 've drawn a beaùtiful map for how to be smarter at work. Thanks alot.
Thank you for sharing this Shade! These insights would definitely help! Brilliant!
You are awesome as always,Shade.Keep smiling
you are my favourite therapist ever ( god bless you ) ❤
Thanks Shade, very useful, I agree with 4 points you mentioned, in Medical terms when we use "complications" means "we had a poor outcome" something was go go right but went wrong, so in my field and health care business I think a more neutral term like "the existing situation for us to consider", is that, let others figure it out the degree of severity or gravity.
The best core principle to believe, as you taught is that “ Confidence is a Skill”.
Always feel glad to see your content. Just keep adding the professional values into us.
Thank you!
Hey Shade, Loved the point where you emphasized on vocabulary. I shall be using all these points to communicate effectively in my professional career. Thanks a lot
Glad it was helpful!
I absolutely love this and will be using all these suggestions. Thank you!
You are just killing it. I can't stop watching you and your videos. I wish I could like million times
Hi Shade !! Thank you..very effective suggestion !! Everyone who work in corporate world ..face this issue somewhere in there career..thank you for pointing and explaining this !!!

In my opinion : "Level up your vocabulary" is the most relevant.
Brilliant video content Zahrai, point 3 (be confident and assertive) is my favorite 🙂
Yes, I agree shade it is necessary to sound smart thank you Shade.😊

My favourite is #2, “Boil it down to a single point”
