1
Probably the world's simplest idea.
2
I call it "The Golden Circle" This little idea explains why some organizations and some leaders are able to inspire where others aren't.
3
Every single person, every single organization on the planet knows what they do.
4
100% Some, know how they do it.
5
But very very few people or organizations know why they do what they do.
6
By "Why" I mean what's your purpose, what's your cause, what's your belief?
7
And why should anyone care?
8
The inspired leaders and the inspired organizations all think, act and communicate from the inside out.
9
Let me give you an example.
10
If Apple were like everyone else, a marketing message from them might sound like this: "We make great computers, they're beautifully designed, simple to use and user-friendly.
11
Wanna buy one?" Meh.
12
That's how most marketing is done, that's how most sales is done, we say what we do, we say how we're different or how we're better and we expect some sort of behavior: A purchase, a vote, something like that.
13
Here's how Apple actually communicates: "Everything we do, we believe in challenging the status quo, we believe in thinking differently, the way we challenge the status quo is by making our products beautifully designed, simple to use and user friendly.
14
Wanna buy one?" People don't buy what you do, people buy why you do it.
15
The goal is not to do business with everybody who needs what you have, the goal is to do business with people who believe what you believe.
16
Again, the goal is not just to sell to people who need what you have, the goal is to sell to people who believe what you believe.
17
If you um hire people just because they can do a job, they'll work for your money.
18
But if you hire people who believe what you believe, they work for you with blood and sweat and tears.
19
Something called the "Law of Diffusion of Innovation" The first 2.5% of our population are our innovators.
20
The next 13.5% of our population are our early adoptors, the next 34% are our early majority, our late majority and our laggards.
21
But if you want mass market success or mass market acceptance of an idea, you cannot have it until you achieve this tipping point between 15 and 18% market penetration.
22
So, it's this here, this little gap that you have to close.
23
Because you see, the early majority will not try something until someone else has tried it first.
24
And these guys, the innovators and the early adoptors, they are more comfortable making those intuitive decisions driven by what they believe about the world and not just what product is available.
25
These are the people who stood in line for 6 hours to buy an iPhone when they first came out.
26
Leaders hold the position of power or authority.
27
Those who lead, inspire us.
28
Those who start with why that have the ability to inspire those around them or find others who inspire them.
29
Thank you very much.

¿Qué es la Técnica de Shadowing?

Shadowing es una técnica de aprendizaje de idiomas respaldada por la ciencia, desarrollada originalmente para la formación de intérpretes profesionales y popularizada por el políglota Dr. Alexander Arguelles. El método es simple pero poderoso: escuchas audio en inglés nativo y lo repites en voz alta de inmediato, como una sombra que sigue al hablante con solo 1-2 segundos de retraso. A diferencia de la escucha pasiva o los ejercicios de gramática, el shadowing obliga a tu cerebro y músculos de la boca a procesar y reproducir simultáneamente patrones de habla reales. Las investigaciones muestran que mejora significativamente la precisión de la pronunciación, la entonación, el ritmo, el habla conectada, la comprensión auditiva y la fluidez al hablar, convirtiéndola en una de las metodologías más efectivas para la preparación del IELTS Speaking y la comunicación en inglés en el mundo real.
