The power of letting go | Insa Klasing | TEDxBerlin

Visit our website www.tedxberlin.de for more information on Insa Klasing. Insa is a change maker. She loves a challenge and is not afraid of contrasts: In her corner office as CEO of Kentucky Fried Chicken she felt just as much at home as she now does in a Berlin co-working space as Co-Founder of TheNextWe, a startup enabling big companies to achieve mindset change at scale. She began her career in India, building schools in the Himalaya with her own NGO. This was followed by a stint in management consulting in London, before launching the British Smoothie brand innocent in Germany. In any setting, Insa goes for growth, be it personal, business or societal. Her passion is the future of leadership, which she argues is all about letting go, as articulated in her latest book “Der 2-Stunden-Chef”. Insa is a board member of various international companies and was named a Young Global Leader 2017 by the World Economic Forum.

    It's sad how people don't want to watch talks on 'letting go'. We so badly want to be in control of life all the time. I'm trying to learn to let go off control for good.

    A beautiful warm story and so true. Letting go by breathing and switching off my mind reduces the pressure I lay on myself. It gives a stressless feeling, no pressure on myself from my mind, letting go of the control on myself. Experiencing that, I understand, that not only I, but my social surrounding as well, can lay great pressure on me, from childhood untill now, the social norm is strong. I realized that I don't want this pressure for myself, I too don't want it for the other, my friend, collegae or whomever. In this world of energy giving pressure bounces back, that's natural. I live, I'm energy, so I move and give pressure, but it's my wish to do that in a harmonic way, a joyfull dance, nourishing. I realized that some (often old trauma) situations trigger me in reacting with to big pressure, on people as well on stuff. It's not my wish but my reaction on anxiety to lose control (and eventually die). Breathing helps me to quiet down, to make contact with myself, switching of my mind creates stillness, no worry's, nothing. So I can reset again. From this calm state of mind and relaxed bodyfeeling, I can get in better contact with my passion and talent for life. It's a though but great journey. I'm sorry that Insa has the urge to apologize for breathing being esoteric and explains that it's proven with hard scientific material evidence, like esoteric is not done. It's a good thing that the esoteric wisdom is returning, ancient culture qualities are great. They worked with energy more than materials, people were less materialized more energetic. We gained a lot with science and technique, to become independant, but we lost something too. Knowing everything is energy, and that within quantum physics 'everything' is possible. With material devices you can only 'messure' material stuff, that's 5% of All there is. Quantum is not material but it materializes by consiousness. So indeed, I more often put off my smartphone, internet, and tv too, it costs me to much time, and time is energy.

    I don't feel that trust is the catalyst of control but fear. Trusting too easily can invite personalities, people that will see this as a weakness. Being conscience of our breath is a useful tool in self regulating but to do this without truly knowing the cause or causes, say if you are an anxious person, can exacerbate the problem.

    good thing she didn't end up like Christopher Reeve; a bit too "new age" and facile for me; lesson to me is that we must allow some "chaos" (less our control, allowing for "everyone has a different idea") but then you have the challenge of trying to "steer" possibilities in "good" directions; "trust" as a panacea is just as bad as "control" as an absolute, IMO

    No offence, Insa. It sounds like "letting go" is easier achieved when you have a paid staff to pick up your slack. So essentially, you've succeeded in delegating to competent employees (like all good managers should do anyways) and then by shutting off your phone, you walk away from your responsibilities and spend your time in meditation. If only we all had the privilege of doing so. This advice is no good to the average person working a shift. All you've done is prove that you don't need a CEO watching over your sholder to make a business run if it's set up with the right people. You meditate, other CEO's play golf. Same difference. Congratulations on figuring out how to make money while working less hours. Imagine if all of your employees did that? You got hurt riding a horse (sorry to hear). Most people ride the bus. The problem is that you're surrounded by "yes men". Give me a shout if you want to hire someone who will give it to you straight instead of BS'ing you. This is so out of touch with reality. Am I wrong?
