Presentation

Creative Thinking Brainware Upgrade

The most effortless session in the history of GSE. Winner of the 2020 Best User Speaker Award.

The session relies on a technique used by Elon Musk, Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, Albert Einstein, and Olympians: visualisation. We’ll use guided visualisation to carbonate your creative juices.

All you do is listen and follow along. Easy peasy. And powerful wowerful.

You do need to do some quick preparation beforehand:

Wear something warm or throw a blanket over yourself. Sometimes people find they start to feel chilly during guided visualisation.
Position yourself so you can relax fully. Avoid perching on an exercise ball, kneeling chair, or other seat where you have to keep muscles engaged. I usually just lie down, but it’s up to you.

Whom won’t it work for:

Anyone who is driving: seriously, not appropriate. Guided visualisation tends to lead to a mild trance state. Do not drive, operate heavy machinery, sign cheques, or basically do anything you shouldn’t do if you’re drunk.
People who need to multitask. Clear out the kids/dogs, close other apps, and put your phone on airplane mode.

What to expect:

Feel mellow and relaxed.
Many people find they feel refreshed, as if they’ve had a good rest.
Subtlety, results that gently pop up when you may not be expecting them. I ran this session for a group of management consultants. Immediately afterwards, one said it hadn’t worked for her. She explained, “I was trying to follow what you were saying, but I couldn’t concentrate because lots of ideas kept popping into my mind.” Best. Complaint. Ever.
