Why You Struggle to Think Fast and Talk Smart
Do you struggle to think fast and speak smart? In other words, do you find it hard to think fast and speak clearly in work conversations? This can happen if you're stressed or nervous, if you have disorganised thoughts, or if what you want to say is too complicated.
When these things happen in work conversations and you can't think fast or speak smart (intelligently), it can damage your credibility and therefore your career progression.
You see the only way people can know how intelligent or competent you are is through your communication. The way you explain complicated concepts. The way you organise your thoughts. And the vocabulary you use too. All of these things are clues for the other person as to how intelligent or competent you are.
When you struggle to find the right words or when you can't get your thoughts clear in your mind, you miss the opportunity to show you're a competence and intelligent leader. This can result in you not having your ideas heard, not having your work recognised, and you not reaching your true potential.
I encourage you to overcome the obstacles that are stopping you from thinking fast and speaking intelligently. Start by finding out what these obstacles are in this video!

Your Boss Doesn’t Like You! 6 Insider SECRETS to Get Your Boss to Like You
Dealing with difficult people is more challenging than dealing with difficult problems. See "Fail-Safe 101 Actionable Insights on Failures in Leadership and Management." A new book pack full of excellent lessons learned, observations, and options.
Sometimes the problem is your immediate leadership. Your boss' primary job is to advocate for you and some are far better than others at that responsibility. Others are too preoccupied with pushing their own agendas which will pull their highly capable employees a million different directions. As a high performer it's important to remember that your hard work won't get you anywhere if nobody else knows you're doing it. I've had people I've trained get promoted for work I taught them how to do and the difference was supportive leadership and visibility. There's nothing more detrimental to your career progression than a politically dimwitted boss.
Reason 2 is not true. If you do your boss's job more, your boss just comes to work less and has less reason to let you go. Positioning yourself in different areas of expertise or participating in other objects just gets you more work as your boss farms you out. This makes your boss look better and virtually guarantees your won't get promoted because all of your boss's peers and your boss's boss recognize you more so you get given more responsibility, no extra pay, etc. Literally none of this will get you promoted. It will make you TBP - Too valuable to Production. Management/leadership positions are for friends of the management. That's it. If you're useful, it is more important to have you actually doing work because you're replacing multiple people and then they get to keep those salaries they would otherwise be spending. If you want management positions, you need to buy some knee pads and learn to open your throat.
The moment a CEO says that we [the company] is on a journey and we want to get to the next level 👎 … I am off. As much as I concede to the idea of simple language (this is easy and straightforward), it should never be simplistic. Even „leaders“ getting paid millions often do not know the difference (when they are on their journey) 😂 …. nice video, Kara 😊
It's amazing thks kara you're so good. See you next video
Hard workers are seen as "useful fools" and do not really inspire confidence to the general population.
may know your face book account to connect to learn more from you?
I like your style of speech, i also want to become like how you speak thanks for your motivation
That's all great and doing all that work needs the reward, so if the promotion comes with a massive amount of responsibility, stress, less family time, less actual work content hands on that you enjoy but only a small compensation and salary raise then its not worth your time.
it doesnt work with authoritarian Managers and diversity managers... my advise if you find yourself under an authoritarian/Diversity manager... run ! and run fast...
In some case, I felt that the female leader are more sensitive than man.
Thank you Kara for wonderful tips.
You certainly are a model of what you’re teaching here.
Thank You
Beyond awesome video!! Thank you sooooooo much. 😊
I believe in hard work and i also believe in luck. These two plays in many different ways
Does listening to an audiobook have the same effect as actually reading a book?
By the way business going they the one need the learning
Thanks
Read - Write - Speak
CEOs are the most exaggerated persons!
This is text book stuff. I am sorry to say. This may have worked in the corporate world 35 years ago. However, it is not applicable today. Teachings have not changed because the information sounds good and promotes hope. This stuff will get you nowhere today. Most of its not even possible.
❤❤❤
Your videos always help me a bit. Coming from a working class family, I always feel having a slightly lower status, which results in less confidence, in turn leading to a chain reaction. I'm trying to switch perspectives with other people to alleviate this feeling.
Myself as well.
Kara thank you.. I have a question -not related with the topic- which camera or webcam are you using while recording your CZcams videos? Thank you,
Crafting an acronym or sentence (mnemonics) from the list of words, items, tasks etc helps me learn, think and speak faster.
This will help me a lot. Thks kara ronin

Fantastic...
Great video - straight to the point and awesome advice.
Thanks so much!
Thanks a lot of valuable information we get through your video and I think most of us who is scared of talking with other in english have a great opportunity that get you through your words by your video.

Great thank you
great :) than you a lot
Listen more. And when you speak, make sure to leave an impact.
Document everything. Keep a daily journal of your encounters with the problematic person and if you decide to go to someone else document their reaction as well as their continued treatment of you after you talked to them. Option #6 isn’t YOUR choice if someone is running you out of a job, depending on your circumstances it might be the best choice but by no means is it YOUR choice unless you want to leave your job anyway. I work in a machine shop and I was told when I started working there that my area is primarily men, which could lead to “uncomfortable” situations especially in the summer when it’s hot. I decided it wasn’t an issue because I would be respected, which is truly how it is.
Top, top as usual
Top, top, you are just a great idea creator :)
Please suggest some book regarding ceo communication or behavior
Honestly, you are the best speaker, I like your body language's, thank you so much for your kind work. its really helpful. :)
I think your tips are good but funny enough you can be more concise in how you explain them. You often repeat the same info too but in different words.
I’ve tried these steps. A jealous person will always be jealous unless they do inner work. Except reporting to HR.
