The Science of Taking Action | Steve Garguilo | TEDxCarthage

Over the past two years, Steve has studied with psychologists, sociologists, anthropologists, neuroscientists, and drill sergeants to learn about the science of taking action and what sparks people or holds people back. After being involved in the TED community and a lot of design thinking work, Steve was tired of talking about ideas, so he went on a journey to understand how to take more clear, specific action on ideas, and learned how to create a bias towards action so that it becomes a norm.

Steve Garguilo works with people from all walks of life from all over the world to help them make their ideas happen. He led the revolution to transform the culture of the 5th largest company in the world by instigating and shaping a global grassroots movement at Johnson & Johnson that engaged 23,000 employees and led to countless stories of product and people development. In February 2017, he released his Amazon Bestselling book, Surge: Your Guide to Put Any Idea into Action. His company Action Surge focuses on helping people take clear, specific actions on ideas.

"EVERYTHING in life that is hard, is just a series of things that are easy."

[wardhamuneeb]

1) Action is a muscle, the more you Excercise it, it becomes easier
2) We tend to decide time later for things, but the right time is when you take that 1st step
3) Actionstorm: Surge of ideas for some one elsess work
4) How can I push up my brand?
@How can you not push my ur brand?
4) Everything that is hard is a series of things that are easy

This really strikes me. I collect a lot of information, however, when it comes to taking action, I hardly ever do anything. That's why I'm here. Watching this video after doing the '7 levels deep'. I really need to start taking action.

God he gave the chills!

“Every hard thing is just a series of easy steps.”.

I'm watching this Silvester 2019. In the last decade, I've been a no-action taker. learning things, procrastinating, fake action. Above all things that I want to do/become in the new decade, it's to take action. Without it, there will be nothing.

"knowing but not doing is not knowing", excellent tedtalk!

[nathanflorence]

Quite honestly the best lecture for anyone suffering from indecisive. Many disorders with this symptom include anxiety, depression, ptsd, etc...

[craolta]

Now let's watch 10 more videos on how to take action so I've a better idea about it :P Seriously though this was great info and sums me up in a nutshell

[designyourlyf]

Two main causes why people don't act is one the fallacy of being perfect in the first attempt and second the fear to be judged taking an unconventional or unapproved approach

[joeferreria]

Life changing indeed, we can do more if we follow his ideas. Two thumbs up

[iamURHO]

The BEST, most valuable talk and it ended sooner than I was expecting.

[myriahbennett]

[mayankbargode]

I am gonna take action and I will make it happen

[AVSeS_]

ThankYou TED X talks and Steve Garguilo - bringing forth this Idea of Actualising after Ideas Hit you . Instead of Postponing To Later . Ideas are Worth spreading and Whats even more important is taking responsibility to believe in it no matter what and Action Pronto ! 🙏

[whatviky]

The best ted talk by far by relevance of today societal needs.

[hobbytreyi]

ACTION IS A MUSCLE.

i'm sitting here and thinking, it mostly boils down to habit just like everything else.

DON'T SET OUT TO DO IT LATER.

saying you'll do it later becomes a habit, we try to stay in our comfort zone but we need to get in the habit of getting out of it.
*commit to taking action right now*

Don't make it bigger than it is.

IT IS EASIER TO COME UP WITH IDEAS WHEN IT IS FOR OTHERS

*Action storming* generating actions for other's ideas


*Every in life that is hard is made of a series of easy tasks, just take the first step.*

COMMIT TO YOURSELF.

[cmoore]

So true! Come to think of it I don't immediately act on my BIG ideas. I think this small change alone will make a BIG difference. Where focus goes energy flows, time to be 💫💫

[akirubamiru]

I am taking action now, because I have no choices!

[robertdowns]

Nicely done Steve and great message. You are certainly an embodiment of what it means to take action on your ideas. Impressive.

[nightmaresturn]

You know what ? Because you have been struggling on working on your ideas, work or anything you think and You just searched how to take action on Google or youtube, and now you're here.

So can we say that you already took 1st step of taking action that this guy says in this video ? Eh ?
