1
Here's another very important tactic, okay?
2
Even if you're extremely busy at work, which you are going to be, I find that closing yourself entirely to 0% is a mistake that many leaders make,
3
including myself, in a busy job.
4
What I recommend to people is just as a mental hack, always be looking for your next job at least at 1% of your energy and time.
5
1%.
6
You can give me 1%.
7
You can give yourself 1%.
8
You're not doing it for me.
9
You're doing this for yourself.
10
Because if you just mentally don't shut down altogether and you keep that 1%,
11
this means you are going to keep yourself open to hearing about really interesting opportunities.
12
Again, we're talking about inbound.
13
Remember, this is the inbound section of how to get hired.
14
So that's why it's open, important.
15
There's a big psychological difference between being at 0% and 1%, okay?
16
And this is the script I use, by the way.
17
So if you're wondering, but what if I get bombarded with these job offers, right?
18
Or whatever, some like pings.
19
This is what I tell executive recruiters, right?
20
These, it's just the words.
21
Remember, all your problems are messaging problems.
22
So if you find the right words for a tricky situation, the problem goes away.
23
Okay, this is another life tip, career tip as well.
24
All right.
25
So this is what I told them when I was at 1%, which is, I'm not looking right now because some reason.
26
I'm waiting for that launch.
27
I'm waiting for the next calibration, promotion, waiting for my stock to vest, whatever the heck that might be.
28
Okay, but that said, if you come across a once in a lifetime PM leadership opportunity, just email text, call me anytime.
29
I would love to hear about it from you.
30
This is what I tell people who I, PM executive recruiters and VC talent partners.
31
What do you think the next question is gonna be when I say this?
32
You know the question.
33
There's only one question possible in response to this.
34
Very next question is gonna be, what is a once in a lifetime PM leadership opportunity for you?
35
Yes, they will ask me of who else.
36
But see, these are people also who build relationships.
37
So they don't go transactional right away.
38
They first focus on me.
39
So they're going to ask me, okay, Shreyas, what is a once in a lifetime opportunity for you?
40
So I will tell them what that is.
41
And can you guess how you might have clarity on how to describe your once in a lifetime opportunity?
42
Yeah, you don't tell them the lighthouse goal, but you use the lighthouse goal as that lighthouse.
43
and in my case i would say like at the right
44
time in my career i said it would be like the first pm role at facebook in 2007
45
or at uber in 2011 that kind of role
46
that would be a once in a lifetime role at the right time
47
so it could be whatever for you but be clear on what
48
that is based on your three-year lighthouse goal okay
49
so yeah there's just a bunch of examples here's another thing
50
the more senior you are the longer you should be prepared
51
to be in the market for your next role okay
52
because most people they look job search is very unpleasant
53
so most people what they do is i'm going to find
54
a job as quickly as possible just going to find a
55
job in like the next two weeks three weeks four weeks
56
five weeks the sooner the better i understand i understand why you have
57
that tendency i understand it's tough it's very difficult i understand
58
but this is my general guideline the more senior you are
59
the longer you want to wait okay the longer you want to be in the market.
60
That means you have to be passive for a longer duration of time.
61
Okay?
62
Here's another thing.
63
Most people think these are the only two binary states possible with looking for jobs.
64
In fact, some of you are tuning out right now because you're like, I'm not looking right now.
65
So I don't need to listen to what he says.
66
This is like nonsense.
67
This is not how it works.
68
There's actually, this is how it works.
69
There are multiple stages of being in the market.
70
So you have to understand not interested at all, not looking, but open to great connections, open for the right opportunities, very open to exploring, actively interviewing.
71
I generally try to stay in this area all the time.
72
I'm never in this area.
73
Again, because of my 1% rule.
74
Because of my 1% rule, I'm usually in the open for right opportunities or not looking but open to great connections.

この動画で身につけるスピーキングスキル

「The 1% Rule」の動画を使った英語学習では、自然な会話の流れで相手を引き込む表現術や、自分のニーズを明確に伝えながらも柔軟性を保つコミュニケーション方法質問に対する即応力を養えます。特に、「一度きりのチャンス」を説明する際の具体的な言い方は、IELTS スピーキング対策にも役立つ実践的なスキルです。

聞き取りに注意すべき発音・リンキング

動画の中では、連結発音(リンキング)弱め発音が多く見られます。例えば、「1% of your energy」では「of your」が「ovyer」となり、「what if I get bombarded」では「what if」が「wadəf」と弱められています。これらの音のつながりを聞き取ることで、英語の発音を良くするだけでなく、リスニング力も向上します。

ネイティブのように話すコツ

ネイティブスピーカーのリズムとストレスを真似るには、shadow speak(シャドースピーキング)が効果的です。動画を再生しながら、1秒遅れで同じように話してみましょう。特に、「I'm not looking right now because...」のような長い文では、「because」の前で少し息を継ぎ、「once in a lifetime opportunity」では「once」と「lifetime」にストレスを置くことで、自然な抑揚が出ます。この練習を続けると、会話のリズムが掴め、より流暢な英語が話せるようになります。

動画で英語学習をする際は、細かな発音の変化やリンキングに注目しながら、shadow speakを繰り返し練習することが大切です。これらのコツを使えば、日常会話だけでなく、IELTS スピーキング対策にも十分対応できる実力がつきます。

シャドーイングとは?英語上達に効果的な理由

シャドーイング(Shadowing)は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的:ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影(shadow)」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
