Many people struggle with social anxiety and lack of confidence when speaking in public, which often leads to quieter speech and a tendency to seek approval from others. In his insightful video on speaking with confidence and authority, Tim Han shares strategies for overcoming these challenges and projecting one’s authentic self without fear of rejection. Here’s a detailed breakdown of the points discussed in the video and actionable tips for improvement.

Understanding Why We Speak Quietly People with social anxiety or shyness often speak in a quiet tone, as they are unconsciously seeking approval and aiming to avoid offending anyone. This behavior stems from a fear of rejection or criticism. By speaking softly, they aim to blend in and not draw attention. However, this approach limits one’s potential and suppresses the ability to express their full ideas and opinions.
Tip: Acknowledge that speaking up doesn’t mean causing offense. It’s essential to realize that toning down your voice to please others holds you back from being authentic and engaging in meaningful communication.
