Inspiration in the Great and Unremarkable | Jessie Pavelka | TEDxGlasgow


Translator: Anwar AlShehri Checker: Riyad Almubarak

I have a question for you.

What is the similarity between a person who reaches the finish line,

Who finishes reading a book, and who completes listening to the song,

And the person who opens his heart?

It is inspiration.

I want to talk about inspiration among humans,

Because I’m interested in dealing with them.

I am a coach, and in my work many characters are deconstructed.

Start coaching with a mentor who says, “You can do that!”

The military sergeant, who says “you better do it”

Then the personality of the psychologist who asks, “Are you okay?”

The order happens in this order.

Is interesting.

I have many nicknames, most of which I can not pronounce publicly.

I will only say this: a word begins with the letter ‘A’ and ends with ‘puncture’

And usually be after a sharp session.

But I also hugged some of the hugs after training,

Yes, I thank.

It is called “inspiration.”

An impressive word for me.

I started my career in a small gym in Texas, before the spread of obesity.

When I was working from people,

Their interest was just external form of fitness.

The loss of the last 10 pounds, it’s all about the appearance of differences.

And totally hated it.

This was not what I wanted to work on so I decided to specialize,

And began to work with people in need of change.

Specialized in the treatment of obesity.

I help people lose a huge amount of weight.

The focus was not only on weight,

But to go out of the house to walk and interact with life,

To be good parents, full of vitality, that was the goal.

My work was wonderful, I loved it.

I loved my beginnings at work.

I had an aim, a great goal in my work.

Since then, I have worked in many enjoyable platforms.

I worked in television programs,

The nutritionist program in the United States of America,

In addition to the American version of “The Biggest Loser” and the British “Year to Save My Life”.

They were all very wonderful experiences; the people I trained,

They really inspired me.

I was asking myself before asking me to make this talk,

What is the basic requirement of my work?

As a coach, you may think of the power of will as an answer. Everyone has to show them.

But no, not an abstract idea enough.

Is it power? There is strength of determination, strength of the body is all important,

But no, it’s purely expected answers, then I thought maybe the motivation.

The incentive is the most thing I would certainly ask for.

“How is motivational?

But I think the inspiration outweighs the motivation in my view,

This is part of my business fundamentals.

Inspiration.

It is the effect, the light, the thing that pulls you to its side.

That is what I will talk about today.

When you get a look at how scientific inspiration is,

You will find secretions of the hormone ‘sertinine and dopamine’ inside the brain,

This creates a feeling of ecstasy and activity within us,

This feeling is inspiring, right?

Because of these two hormones.

But there are more exciting things to talk about today.

As you know, inspiration,

We feel it when we do not even try to pursue it.

The brain does not think of inspiration and is expected to occur,

So there must be a passionate connection,

You have to be open to it.

When I think of the people I trained,

The psychological weakness was at their peak.

When a person is exposed to psychological weakness

Be able to inspire and inspire others as well.

Again, the person in the case of psychological weakness,

Be able to inspire and inspire others.

I will give you an example of my words,

I trained a woman named Sarah.

Sarah entered my life, and usually when I train someone,

Be focusing on losing weight or skipping obstacle.

Sarah’s life on paper looked very wonderful.

She owned the perfect house, the car, the pet dog, the husband, in that arrangement.

Ladies, teach me.

(Laughter)

When I work with someone, I monitor his life suspiciously.

I do not mean that I’m sneaking in to watch him from his window,

I want to know exactly what is going on in his life

When you wake up in the morning, what to eat,

How you feel during your day, and what happens to you before your sleep,

That’s what I meant, not that suspicion.

I entered the world of Sarah, entered her home, took a look around me.

I checked the dishwasher, it was tidy. I checked the food refrigerator, also arranged;

She inspected her life in general, everything was very neat.

I asked myself, “Where is the problem, see?”

I sat talking with Sarah and she was directly in front of me.

I said, “Well Sarah, tell me what’s going on.”

“I just want to lose some weight,” she said.

I said, “It’s okay, what’s going on?”

“I just want to lose some weight.”

Well, I have to be smart here. what should I do?

I looked around and found a body-length mirror.

I was thinking, “construction tension, construction tension.”

I sat down, looked at her from behind the mirror,

I said, “Okay,” I look suspiciously from behind,

I said, “Well, tell me what you see, Sara?”

Sara collapsed.

I was crying.

She said, “I hate myself.”

No one wants to hear this sentence from anyone right?

But for me as a coach, this was an exciting moment.

Because I learned from that moment,

When Sarah revealed what she was going through, the change was about to happen.

Sara went beyond psychological weakness,

To participate three months later in the tripartite Olympics.

Sarah explained her weakness, so I felt inspired.

It has become an inspiration in itself.

That’s exactly what I’m talking about.

I worked for a great technology company over the past year, called Cisco Systems.

Cisco is so amazing; they invent the latest technology,

But what makes them such magnificence they understand this matter,

It is that people are the cause of their success.

People are the cause of their success, so they care about them,

Chalabi has been working with them to change the culture of the workers there,

Towards health comfort,

To make people think of themselves a little during the day,

So, I worked with a team from Cisco,

I met them a few months ago,

When she entered the room arranged the seats in the form of a horse’s eagle,

I’m in the middle and the captain is by my side,

So I decided to start to get to know each other,

“Well, guys, what’s the news?”

I received superficial answers, “good news.”

“What’s News?”

“Fine.”

So I decided to tell them:

“It’s okay, who would like to share his success story with something?”

“A story about greatness, where struggle and perseverance?”

I sat on my seat and one of them raised her hand in shame,

“I will share my story,” she said.

This woman told me her story, and everyone listened to her words.

The tears began to fall on their faces. All this got in the company.

Suddenly, everyone started sharing stories,

Another hand rose to share her story and the other went up as well.

Everyone talked about something they had persevered in achieving,

Something absolutely challenging in their lives.

At that moment, everyone expressed their feelings,

They were not psychologically immune.

This led to a deeper connection,

And that deep contact led to sympathy between them,

The sympathetic environment is booming.

This is required in the corporate world and Cisco understands this.

I think the best way to learn

It is through our own experiences.

I want to tell you a story about someone who gradually became my clergyman,

And my inspiration.

It’s about the first day of school,

Change, courage.

A story about my son.

My son passed through a difficult time last year.

He had to face a lot, separated his parents,

Go to another city,

Go to a new school.

He was confused.

Very confused and noted it.

We are in the car and find him staring at his mind and staring at something.

There is nothing in front of him, I said to myself,

“There is something that saddens him, this is something that bothers my son.”

But that is not the hard part The hard part was when I brought it to school.

I take him to school, hug him hard,

Clings to me strongly, and does not want to drop me,

Then he begins to cry, his tears fall.

The teacher comes to pull him,

The scene breaks my heart, it seems wrong.

The teacher pulls it into the classroom.

I did not know what to do, and it happens every day in a row,

As a coach I told him:

“Well, your father and mother love you so much.

You are safe, they will take care of you. “

But the situation continues to be repeated:

He begins to cry in astonishment, then collapses.

The situation was repeated for several weeks, after which we decided,

“We have to consult a psychologist, things are bad.”

But one day, I woke him up to school as usual,

I prepared breakfast, brought it to the school –

We listened to Michael Jackson, hoping he would raise his spirits.

(Laughter)

We got to school and equipped myself for a new collapse of tears,

And a little broken heart.

I brought him to his room, bent a little and said:

“Well, boy, your father and your mother love you so much.

You are safe, will take care of you.

You can do that, and I’ll see you after school. “

He gave me a toast and hugged me.

I felt he was about to cry instead turned,

It is towards the entrance.

Stop looking in front of the entrance to the fictional monsters

Which will try to take him from his father.

Take a deep breath.

(Ins and Outs)

And progress towards separation slowly.

He sat on his seat and waved me by the hand.

Now I’m the one who cried, I said to myself, “For a moment, it’s your turn to cry!

You are the one who should cry not me. “It was very funny.

I realized that my son inspired me,

He can be my destiny, just as I am.

You know, the inspiration lies around us,

Lies in the people who wake up beside them,

In the people we accept before bed and take them to school,

In the people we pass on the street,

In the corridors of work, and alongside whom we work with.

My hope is to find inspiration in unexpected things.

Inspiration is waiting for you to open your hearts to receive it.

Like love completely.

I want to thank you because you are my inspiration,

Good listening.

Thank you so much.

(clap)
