In this short coaching video, the speaker offers a practical communication tip for appearing more confident during meetings. When asked for an opinion, instead of prefacing responses with soft phrases like "I think" or "I feel," the speaker recommends using predictive language such as "I predict," "I anticipate," or "I envision." The shift to stronger, forward‑looking verbs signals that the speaker has already considered the issue, thereby projecting confidence. An example is provided: replace "I feel like this is not going to work" with "I anticipate that this isn’t going to work out how we want it to." The speaker explains that this linguistic change makes statements sound stronger and assumes prior analysis, encouraging listeners to adopt the technique.
