TedTalk TUESDAY #266: Manifest your greatness

TED continues to spread ideas and help us all be better critical thinkers. Watching, listening and talking about TED Talks is a popular pastime for many in the CN&CO community. We visit TED.com regularly to clear our heads, have a laugh, learn or get inspired. TED Talks open our minds, spark new ways of thinking and can lead to some very interesting conversations and business opportunities. Each week we pick a favourite and publish it on a Tuesday, because we like how “TED Talk Tuesday” sounds. It’s also a way that the CN&CO team play their part in spreading ideas and helping to make the world a better place. This TedTalk was written by Stella Carter.

We all have dreams of the life we wish to create. Yet why is it that so few of us are turning our dreams into reality? Kyle Daniels is a graduate of psychology from Cape Town and his talk is about why only few people are manifesting their greatness.

In this TedTalk, Kyle talks about the three principles of goal achievement – namely:

  1. Set the goal
  2. Have a plan to achieve the goal
  3. Take action

However, so many people overlook the one fundamental aspect – the glue – which is the belief in your ability to achieve your goal(s). If you don’t believe in your abilities to achieve your goals, you will never take the steps to make it happen.

In this TedTalk, Kyle unpacks the steps to changing your mindset and your personal narrative, and how changing a negative self-image to a positive one will make all the difference.
