so what if you had no self doubt what could you achieve in life the
what could you achieve in life the
what could you achieve in life the biggest obstacle to success is your own
biggest obstacle to success is your own
biggest obstacle to success is your own self-doubt think about how many things
self-doubt think about how many things
self-doubt think about how many things you haven’t tried in life because you
you haven’t tried in life because you
you haven’t tried in life because you are unsure the outcomes or perhaps
are unsure the outcomes or perhaps
are unsure the outcomes or perhaps you’ve tried them but haven’t succeeded
you’ve tried them but haven’t succeeded
you’ve tried them but haven’t succeeded yet because there was something about it
yet because there was something about it
yet because there was something about it that made you nervous what if I can’t do
that made you nervous what if I can’t do
that made you nervous what if I can’t do it what if I fail what if people laugh
it what if I fail what if people laugh
it what if I fail what if people laugh at me
at me
at me right I want you to think about one
right I want you to think about one
right I want you to think about one thing that makes you nervous in life
thing that makes you nervous in life
thing that makes you nervous in life something you haven’t tried yet and keep
something you haven’t tried yet and keep
something you haven’t tried yet and keep that in mind as I talk today coz I’m
that in mind as I talk today coz I’m
that in mind as I talk today coz I’m going to tell you about a technique with
going to tell you about a technique with
going to tell you about a technique with nearly 50 years of research that is
nearly 50 years of research that is
nearly 50 years of research that is proven to bypass your self-doubt and let
proven to bypass your self-doubt and let
proven to bypass your self-doubt and let you succeed and the best part is you can
you succeed and the best part is you can
you succeed and the best part is you can go home today and take the cell phone
go home today and take the cell phone
go home today and take the cell phone that’s in your pocket and complete this
that’s in your pocket and complete this
that’s in your pocket and complete this technique on your own the technique is
technique on your own the technique is
technique on your own the technique is called video self modeling and you
called video self modeling and you
called video self modeling and you probably haven’t heard about it
probably haven’t heard about it
probably haven’t heard about it because until that cell phone in your
because until that cell phone in your
because until that cell phone in your pocket was developed it used to take a
pocket was developed it used to take a
pocket was developed it used to take a lot of very expensive equipment to
lot of very expensive equipment to
lot of very expensive equipment to complete video self modeling and so only
complete video self modeling and so only
complete video self modeling and so only researchers who could get grants could
researchers who could get grants could
researchers who could get grants could do video self modeling my doctor will
do video self modeling my doctor will
do video self modeling my doctor will visor Tom Cal happened to have such a
visor Tom Cal happened to have such a

grant and to put the technology piece in
grant and to put the technology piece in perspective for you
perspective for you
perspective for you this was the cutting edge cell phone
this was the cutting edge cell phone
this was the cutting edge cell phone that my brother gave to me in the 90s
that my brother gave to me in the 90s
that my brother gave to me in the 90s when I learned video self modeling so
when I learned video self modeling so
when I learned video self modeling so we’ve come a pretty long way in a short
we’ve come a pretty long way in a short
we’ve come a pretty long way in a short period of time far enough that it is
period of time far enough that it is
period of time far enough that it is time now for everybody to start using
time now for everybody to start using
time now for everybody to start using video self modeling because the effects
video self modeling because the effects
video self modeling because the effects are so powerful so what is video self
are so powerful so what is video self
are so powerful so what is video self modeling I’m gonna give you a few key
modeling I’m gonna give you a few key
modeling I’m gonna give you a few key components of it the first component is
components of it the first component is
components of it the first component is that the videos are short they’re only
that the videos are short they’re only
that the videos are short they’re only about 30 seconds to a couple of minutes
about 30 seconds to a couple of minutes
about 30 seconds to a couple of minutes long so they don’t take a lot of your
long so they don’t take a lot of your
long so they don’t take a lot of your time the second is that the videos show
time the second is that the videos show
time the second is that the videos show you yourself performing whatever
you yourself performing whatever
you yourself performing whatever behavior it is you want to be able to do
behavior it is you want to be able to do
behavior it is you want to be able to do in real life and the third and probably
in real life and the third and probably
in real life and the third and probably most important component is the videos
most important component is the videos
most important component is the videos are edited so you are only looking good
are edited so you are only looking good
are edited so you are only looking good on that video we take out all errors so
on that video we take out all errors so
on that video we take out all errors so the videos are not used to shame
the videos are not used to shame
the videos are not used to shame you and say look at how stupid you look
you and say look at how stupid you look
you and say look at how stupid you look to when you did that there used to show
to when you did that there used to show
to when you did that there used to show your brain exactly what to do so that
your brain exactly what to do so that
your brain exactly what to do so that you can succeed it works on so many
you can succeed it works on so many
you can succeed it works on so many different behaviors it works on
different behaviors it works on
different behaviors it works on stuttering anxiety depression public

speaking skills reading fluency the list goes on and on and on almost any
goes on and on and on almost any
goes on and on and on almost any behavior you can show on film we can use
behavior you can show on film we can use
behavior you can show on film we can use video self modeling for so how does it
video self modeling for so how does it
video self modeling for so how does it work well it works by showing you
work well it works by showing you
work well it works by showing you yourself as the model to learn from
yourself as the model to learn from
yourself as the model to learn from without errors Albert bandura was the
without errors Albert bandura was the
without errors Albert bandura was the first to identify that humans learn by
first to identify that humans learn by
first to identify that humans learn by watching others and the more similar
watching others and the more similar
watching others and the more similar that other person is to us the more
that other person is to us the more
that other person is to us the more likely we are to model their behavior so
likely we are to model their behavior so
likely we are to model their behavior so I came up with this example for D for
I came up with this example for D for
I came up with this example for D for you to understand what I mean by that
you to understand what I mean by that
you to understand what I mean by that you may recognize this very famous
you may recognize this very famous

so video self modeling can work on so
so video self modeling can work on so many different behaviors and so what
many different behaviors and so what
many different behaviors and so what happens is when you’re when your body
happens is when you’re when your body
