Slow Down to Go Faster - The Power of Pause | Ralph Simone | TEDxUtica

Inspired by actor, martial artist, and philosopher, Chuck Norris, and based on research from the Slow Movement in Italy, Ralph Simone of Emergent will share the data, benefits, and practices that will get you into “flow” state, and that optimize your performance simply by slowing down.
Learn how slowing down everything from breathing, eating, thinking, and moving can make you more receptive, resilient, and productive. “Simply resisting the urge to hurry is free.” - Carl Honore - Author, In Praise of Slowness
Ralph Simone has spent over a quarter of a century helping individuals and organizations transform themselves, raise their consciousness, and perform at their fullest potential.
As a Black Belt in karate and an avid reader, Ralph understands the benefits of consistent practice and continuous learning as an integral part of leadership development.
He received his B.B.A. from Siena College in 1979 with a major in accounting. He is a Certified Professional Coach, specializing in leadership and organizational effectiveness, and has amassed over 15,000 paid client coaching hours. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

    One person below commented: "I thought this was going to be about driving". Little did he realize...it is. I drive an unrestored 90 year old pickup truck. It doesn't go real fast. I must plan every turn, and every stop, and every other maneuver. I do drive the speed limit, but usually I drive a little bit slower. I've seen plenty of fingers and angry people. I see them often...the same drivers...at each stop light...for many miles. They get so frustrated that we are at the traffic light together, again, or that I sometimes pass them up, again. Planning my (driving) work gets me to the same goal as most of the other drivers, but I do it at a more relaxed pace, and I save more fuel, and I don't need brake jobs as often. You see, it is about driving..and the driving is an analogy for how we move forward though life. Thanks for presenting this great talk. I'm in.

    I have had a speech impediment ever since I was little. I went through speech therapy for many years when I was in school. The problem is I never absorbed any of the techniques I was taught. Lately my speech has been really bad, and watching this video helped me understand that I don’t have to talk super fast, and focus on what I want to say instead of focusing on something else.

    As someone with ADHD, this is life-changing advice. I watched Kimi Werner's video about slowing down first. I highly recommend watching her TEDTalk about slowing down as well. It's very inspiring. But wow, yeah, slow down. Think about what you're doing. Take time between tasks to sit down and think about whether you're attending to your priorities. Think about how you will do the task. That takes 2-3 minutes.

    I had a mentor who advised me to always slow down when faced with an important decision or when taking on a new role in an unfamiliar environment or when in a tense-filled exchange. Rushing forward in every situation is not always wise. Quieting the tongue and opening up the ears makes decision making easier when I intentionally slow down. Unfortunately, I can't handle driving slowly. I have a need for speed when I'm in a car. 😎

    Great video! I agree with the video that slowing down speech could help outgrow stuttering. The positive effect is that speaking slower makes you feel more comfortable, whereas other people who speak slower have more time to double down on doubt to say a feared letter which means that 'confidence that you can move articulators during a speech block' helps in outgrowing stuttering

    At 13:40 You show your 'List of Intentions'. I noticed that the list isn't really tangible, so there is nothing to measure success by, other than an overall 'feeling'. Was it your intention to remain somewhat ambiguous on this list? I'm very familiar with ISO regulations in industry, and one of the main goals of ISO-9000 to is plan your work (this is in line with your teachings), and to have tangible goals so that achievements can be quantified and measured. This is my background, and I apologize if it seems to contradict part of your program (which, by the way, was fantastic and enjoyable. I'm in).
