If you’re new to my channel, my name is Yasir Khan. I train leaders to speak with confidence, clarity, and credibility in corporate settings. My clients include leaders from Microsoft, Google, Apple, Salesforce, JP Morgan, and senior officials in Saudi ministries. I’ve coached over 25,000 people online, delivered 1,000+ workshops, and built a community of 5 million+ corporate and community leaders. We also run the number one speaking transformation program in the world - the 10 Day CEO Speaking Bootcamp. The only one designed to turn you into a completely different speaker in 10 days. Nothing else on the planet does it faster. How I got here… Born: Skinny kid with crooked teeth in Karachi, Pakistan. I believed I was just destined to be a socially anxious wreck my whole life. Undergrad in Malaysia: Started coaching fellow students on presentations - most of them were not native English speakers. They made lots of progress and improved their grades. That’s when I realized the problem was never the language, it was the lack of practice. Moved to Canada: Started an MBA. Failed my first semester. Realized I was more interested in teaching than anything else. Started training students, faculty, and local business owners. Weeks later: Won my first public speaking contest. Within 6 months, ran 32 speech workshops on campus. Not long after: Delivered my first TEDx talk. Then my second that crossed 1 million views. Then: Founded SpeakLikeACEO.com. Built the CEO Model - the framework that’s now trained executives across 4 continents. Today: Taught at 8 universities across the world. Have trained more than 30,000 CEOs and leaders through workshops, corporate training, and online programs. 5 million followers and counting. With my videos, I want to show you not only that you can transform into a confident public speaker but do it in very little time. --- Connect with me: INSTAGRAM: Instagram: DYIRImTC6-u LINKEDIN: LinkedIn: yasirkhancoaching 0:00 Intro: The fear of freezing up 1:15 What blanking out actually is 2:10 Why your brain blocks information 3:42 Social status and survival 4:45 Why ideas come back later 5:30 Calmness equals clarity 6:00 Dealing with uncertainty 7:30 Using rehearsal to build proof 9:05 Practice vs. preparation 10:15 The cold shower analogy 11:35 Riding the 3-minute anxiety wave 12:55 Stopping the nervous loop 14:10 Focus on service, not validation 15:40 The Sandwich Technique 17:05 Example: Speaking on the spot 18:15 Summary and final tips
