The Spiral Effect-Unlocking the Divine Genius in your Organisation | Carol Talbot | TEDxIMTDubai


[Music]

hello it’s exciting to be here and you

know I remember when I was a child one

of my favorite stories was the story of

Aladdin maybe you remember that story

allotting was a poor boy he came across

a magic lamp and when he rocked the loan

a genie appeared and granted all his

wishes now of course the story is pure

fiction or is it because this is where

the magic happens and I’m going to

introduce you to your own genie your own

genius that lives inside of you so just

for a moment if you would imagine 100

billion neurons cause to be wiring and

firing inside of you and what this means

is each time you repeat the same

behavior thought emotion it strengthens

the connection the way those neurons war

and fire together so just for a moment

to give you an experience of this just

turn to someone quickly next to you and

give them your biggest brightest smile

off you go good now have you noticed

that when you smile the other person

smiles back or is somebody smiled at you

your automatic reaction is to smile back

at them and that’s because that’s the

way your neurons are wiring and firing

together it’s an automatic response now

an enormous amount of intelligence is

going on inside of you you’ve got the

brain in your head they’ve identified a

brain in the heart there’s got

intelligence even fell intelligence

even a single cell stores all of who you

are it holds your deep DNA and the

blueprint of who you are professionally

emotionally physically mentally and as

you grow learn and evolve then that

information your self is also being

updated constantly and all this is

happening inside of you pure genius now

imagine the magnitude of this activity

when you multiply it by the number of

people in your organization so think of

your organization as one body with

multiple brains billions of neurons

wiring and firing in different

directions so the question is how will

you as a leader harness all that

potential and get it aligned with the

vision of your organization well

actually the answer lies within you you

actually are a catalyst and you have the

ability to rewire and change what’s

going on inside of you an impact and

influence others in a in a way that may

seem impossible but it’s actually very

simple and I’m going to introduce you to

four very simple consecutive steps that

allow you to discover the genius in

yourself unlock the divine genius in

your organization and set in motion a

farl effect that’s moving in the right

direction now the journey starts by

discovering what lies beneath the hard

drive of you and your organization you

know as we dig deeper into the 21st

century change is a given and you’ve

probably also noticed when change comes

up its kind of thanks but no thanks so

does resistance so what do you think

creates that resistance

change what do you think is the biggest

barrier to to change what brings up that

resistance fear all that wanting to stay

in your comfort zone so you may be

surprised to know actually that the

biggest barrier to change what brings up

that resistance is actually your very

own conscious mind your conscious mind

is hardwired to constantly analyze

criticize and judge everything that’s

going on whether you know it or not so

whether man’s being what I’m saying what

your competitors do it’s basically

judgmental and it’s reactive so a simple

way to think of it is like a keyboard

and a monitor you can key in information

it appears on the screen and you respond

and react to it however just for a

moment consider that nothing happens

with the keyboard and monitor and let it

connect it to a hard drive now the hard

drive can really be likened to your

unconscious mind although your

unconscious mind is far far far more

powerful but you’re our conscious mind

is essentially a recording of playback

device and it formed the habit mind not

only that it’s 1 million times more

powerful than the conscious mind so it’s

your unconscious mind that is running

you and your organization on its

autopilot at least wait for it at least

ninety five percent of the time or more

mind-boggling isn’t it so that means

that even when you think you’re

consciously making a decision you’re not

that decision is based on decisions you

made in the past and it’s also based on

programs that you’ve already got loaded

at the unconscious level so the programs

that you have already stored at the

unconscious level are they helping and

moving you forward or are they moving

you in the opposite direction because

just for a moment consider we often buy

new laptops new computers we are praying

the software on a regular basis when was

the last time that you upgraded the

programs that you are operating from

over ninety-five percent of the time so

the key here is to start recognizing

those programs and that leads to

redefining the triggers for you your

brand and your organization you know we

are creatures of patterns and habits and

it’s our habit patterns in thinking and

behavior that actually create a response

to circumstances and not the

circumstances themselves what do I mean

by that well didn’t if you wake up with

an alarm clock this morning yeah so when

the alarm clock goes that the trigger

the conditioned responses and switch it

off when we get up or maybe for some of

you switch it off and roll over have

another ten minutes in your organization

if you call a meeting that is a trigger

what’s the response Oh fantastic a

meeting an opportunity to share my

creative ideas or probably oh no not

another board meeting your brand your

organization your lower your products

your services are all triggers that

actually create a response with your

clients with your customers in the

outside world even you as an individual

as a leader when people hear your name

when they

you when they hear your voice it

actually triggered a certain conditioned

response in others so it’s a leader

what’s the response you’re getting from

other people is it oh no or is it oh yes

which you want to trigger in other

people so the question now is is it

possible to change those conditions

responses is it possible to change the

patterns the programs you’ve got stored

at the unconscious level and the good

news is the answer is yes because this

is where the field of neuro plasticity

is opening us up to new possibilities so

just remember can I ask you all to

quickly stand up i’m going to give you

an experience of this because

neuroplasticity is what makes personal

development and growth so exciting

because it shows us that we can rewire

the brain through training through

practice and read them and repetition so

just remember what I want you to do is

to stretch your right arm out in front

of you like this good careful not to hit

somebody else in the face but what I

want you to do is to take your right on

behind you as far as you can go so just

take your right on behind you as far as

you can go unnoticed who or what you’re

pointing at and make sure you’ve got as

far as you can go again notice who or

what you’re pointing at have you got

that good now come back faces the front

take your arms down by your side and

close your eyes if you need a little

power nap this is your opportunity so

with your eyes closed what I want to do

is to imagine you’re stretching your

right arm out in front of you so see

what you see feel you feel notice what

you notice good and imagine your right

of going behind

you but this time it’s gliding

effortlessly and easily so much further

than it did before so imagine your arm

going so much further than it did before

get a clear image clear feelings see

what you see notice what you notice and

imagine your arm going further than

before good open your eye stretch your

right arm out in front of you good take

it behind you it went further right it’s

a miracle it’s magic so just stay

standing for a moment what’s going on

there well the first time you told me

that you’ve gone as far as you could

write and then all i did was my ask you

to imagine to visualize to use those

programs inside of you to take your arm

even further and lo and behold that’s

what you created on the outside reality

so my question to you is when in your

life are you only going so far we’re in

your life you said no that’s the

farthest because you have just proved to

me and you’ve proved to yourself that

you have nowhere near tapped into your

potential and that means nor has the

team in your organization you can take a

seat so it is possible to rewire those

were the way those neurons were and far

together it is possible to change the

program as you proved if you can change

then your team can change too now what

you’ve probably noticed is that one of

the things that often brings about a

change is chaos or crisis and I like to

say it’s chaos that often creates that

that creates evolution and you have the opportunity to harness the energy from

opportunity to harness the energy from chaos and actually trigger a shift so

chaos and actually trigger a shift so how does that work well everything in

how does that work well everything in our universe is actually made up of

our universe is actually made up of energy and energy is the building block

energy and energy is the building block of all nonsense so due to the moment rub

of all nonsense so due to the moment rub your hands together particularly if

your hands together particularly if you’re cold so rub your hands together

you’re cold so rub your hands together really really really hard now some

really really really hard now some people see energy some people feel

people see energy some people feel energy some people even hear energy but

energy some people even hear energy but for the most part we’re not aware of the

for the most part we’re not aware of the energy that we’re emitting and the

energy that we’re emitting and the energy around us so again just stop

energy around us so again just stop rubbing your hands together and hold

rubbing your hands together and hold them apart for a moment and you’ll

them apart for a moment and you’ll probably feel your hands tingle you may

probably feel your hands tingle you may feel the energy between them some of you

feel the energy between them some of you may even see it yeah so now that’s

may even see it yeah so now that’s giving you an experience of energy you

giving you an experience of energy you are energy and even your words your

are energy and even your words your thoughts your emotions carry a certain

thoughts your emotions carry a certain energy frequency and vibration now the

energy frequency and vibration now the energy frequency and vibration you’re

energy frequency and vibration you’re emitting into the world is actually what

emitting into the world is actually what creates your outer reality it’s actually

creates your outer reality it’s actually what creates the state of your business

what creates the state of your business and your organization so think about

and your organization so think about your energy are you creating harmony in

your energy are you creating harmony in the outside world or are you creating

the outside world or are you creating dissonance now your role as a leader is

dissonance now your role as a leader is to grow your business would you agree

to grow your business would you agree and if you’re going to grow your

and if you’re going to grow your business that means you need to bring

business that means you need to bring about a change how do most people

about a change how do most people respond to change we said they

respond to change we said they sisted it’s thanks but no sense now if

sisted it’s thanks but no sense now if you want to grow your business if you

you want to grow your business if you want to bring about a change you cannot

want to bring about a change you cannot do that if you’re operating from the

do that if you’re operating from the same energy frequency and vibration are

same energy frequency and vibration are you with me on this it means that you

you with me on this it means that you need to shift your energy and this is

need to shift your energy and this is where the role of chaos comes in and the

where the role of chaos comes in and the role if you think about it chaos is a

role if you think about it chaos is a disruptive energy it actually fuels the

disruptive energy it actually fuels the change and the field of cymatics gives

change and the field of cymatics gives you a lovely visual demonstration of

you a lovely visual demonstration of chaos and frequency affecting matter so

chaos and frequency affecting matter so I’ve got a little video clip up here and

I’ve got a little video clip up here and you’ll see them they’re going to put

you’ll see them they’re going to put some salt on a metal plate and on that

some salt on a metal plate and on that metal plate they’re going to war in a

metal plate they’re going to war in a particular frequency so you can see that

particular frequency so you can see that the salt goes through a moment of chaos

the salt goes through a moment of chaos and then it aligns with the frequency

and then it aligns with the frequency and morphs into a beautiful shape and as

and morphs into a beautiful shape and as they change the frequency that they

they change the frequency that they raise the frequency can you see it goes

raise the frequency can you see it goes again into momentary chaos and then it

again into momentary chaos and then it aligns with that new frequency and

aligns with that new frequency and morphs into a beautiful shape so that

morphs into a beautiful shape so that highlights the role of chaos there’s

highlights the role of chaos there’s always going to be chaos before a shift

always going to be chaos before a shift happens now in life chaos crisis occurs

happens now in life chaos crisis occurs and you may have experienced this in the

and you may have experienced this in the past it could have been a financial fall

past it could have been a financial fall or physical for it could have been an

or physical for it could have been an emotional crash in your organization it

emotional crash in your organization it could have been a change in leadership a

could have been a change in leadership a merger or it could have been a change in

merger or it could have been a change in consumer buying habits but what happens

consumer buying habits but what happens is when chaos strikes we want everything

is when chaos strikes we want everything to go back the way it was but what

to go back the way it was but what really happens is your reality crumbles

really happens is your reality crumbles in some way and a shift

in some way and a shift has now as a leader you can wait for

has now as a leader you can wait for chaos to strike but what I’m going to

chaos to strike but what I’m going to suggest is rather than riding the wave

suggest is rather than riding the wave at the leader you need to be prepared to

at the leader you need to be prepared to provoke that chaos to literally create

provoke that chaos to literally create the perfect storm because as Kennedy

the perfect storm because as Kennedy said it’s a rising tide that lifts all

said it’s a rising tide that lifts all the boats now if you’re prepared to stir

the boats now if you’re prepared to stir the pot to create that perfect storm and

the pot to create that perfect storm and chaos chaos as we said is a disruptive

chaos chaos as we said is a disruptive energy there’s a lot of energy there but

energy there’s a lot of energy there but you had the opportunity to ignite a

you had the opportunity to ignite a morphogenetic field what do I mean by

morphogenetic field what do I mean by this well as any of you heard at the

this well as any of you heard at the hundred monkeys syndrome back in the

hundred monkeys syndrome back in the 1950s and off an island of Japan

1950s and off an island of Japan Fukushima there were some monkeys there

Fukushima there were some monkeys there and some they were researchers with

and some they were researchers with researching and observing these markets

researching and observing these markets so every day they bought the monkeys

so every day they bought the monkeys sweet potatoes and the empty for sweet

sweet potatoes and the empty for sweet potatoes on the beach now the monkeys

potatoes on the beach now the monkeys loved the sweet potatoes but what they

loved the sweet potatoes but what they didn’t like was all the fanned and grip

didn’t like was all the fanned and grip that was on the sweet potatoes that was

that was on the sweet potatoes that was until one of the monkeys took a sweet

until one of the monkeys took a sweet potato washed it in the sea and then ate

potato washed it in the sea and then ate it and taught that technique to other

it and taught that technique to other monkey’s who taught it to other monkey’s

monkey’s who taught it to other monkey’s who taught it to other monkey’s who

who taught it to other monkey’s who taught into other markets until one day

taught into other markets until one day all the monkeys were doing exactly the

all the monkeys were doing exactly the same thing and this is the morphogenetic

same thing and this is the morphogenetic field the author and biologists Rupert

field the author and biologists Rupert Sheldrake talks about and he says that

Sheldrake talks about and he says that when individuals are the species get

when individuals are the species get together with other individuals of a

together with other individuals of a species it creates a group mind and we

species it creates a group mind and we see examples of this in nature so that

see examples of this in nature so that if you go diving then you’ll have seen

if you go diving then you’ll have seen them the schools of fish all seem to me

them the schools of fish all seem to me in exactly the same direction that’s

in exactly the same direction that’s like when one changes they all change

like when one changes they all change now imagine creating that shift in the

now imagine creating that shift in the organization but when you change

organization but when you change everything changes because really the

everything changes because really the morphogenetic field is the manifestation

morphogenetic field is the manifestation of genius and it starts with you you are

of genius and it starts with you you are the catalyst you have the opportunity to

the catalyst you have the opportunity to set that morphogenetic field those

set that morphogenetic field those shifts and changes in motion and you’ve

shifts and changes in motion and you’ve already experienced this so do you

already experienced this so do you remember when I asked you to smile and

remember when I asked you to smile and when it’s somebody smiles at you they

when it’s somebody smiles at you they smile back and when you smile at them

smile back and when you smile at them hey it starts a ripple effect so when

hey it starts a ripple effect so when you think it starts with a single smile

you think it starts with a single smile even the greatest of bonfires started

even the greatest of bonfires started with the single spark you are the divine

with the single spark you are the divine genius and you have the opportunity to

genius and you have the opportunity to create a shift in your organization to

create a shift in your organization to literally unlock the divine genius in

literally unlock the divine genius in your organization and set in motion a

your organization and set in motion a very powerful spiral effect that can

very powerful spiral effect that can lead to infinite expansion so if you

lead to infinite expansion so if you remember the story of Aladdin he had a

remember the story of Aladdin he had a magic London when he robbed that lamp a

magic London when he robbed that lamp a genie appeared and granted all his

genie appeared and granted all his wishes now the question is not whether

wishes now the question is not whether there’s a magic lamp hidden in your

there’s a magic lamp hidden in your organization and a genies going to

organization and a genies going to appear you now know that the genius is

appear you now know that the genius is inside of you when you shift others will

inside of you when you shift others will follow and that’s when you unlock the

follow and that’s when you unlock the divine genius in your organization and

divine genius in your organization and set in motion of the spiral effect that

set in motion of the spiral effect that can lead to infinite expansion so where

can lead to infinite expansion so where does magic hammer in you

does magic hammer in you my name’s Carl told that it’s been a

my name’s Carl told that it’s been a delight and a pleasure to share with you

delight and a pleasure to share with you this morning

this morning [Applause]
