I think the pursuit of mastery demands dedication, time, and sacrifices. The cost involves perseverance through challenges, maintaining focus, and balancing personal well-being. The ultimate reward is the profound expertise and fulfillment that come with mastering a craft or skill. What is your El Capitan? #mountains #fearless #lessonlearned #project #projectcompletion

How to master your fear with excellent preparation... This is a great example of a healthy #fear and how to challenge yourself. So far, El Capitan was known to me from my skydiving years. It was the dream place for BASE-jumpers, people who do not need a perfectly good airplane with toxic exhaust gases, to enjoy the rush of free falling. Also in skydiving I learned how to increase safety by mental training: If your 'chute fails, you can't go into freeze state or flight (pun welcome). But like Alex Honnold we would do a lot of safety priming under safe conditions to remain in a clear mind in an emergency. What is your - more common - experience challenging your fear?

Seasoned humanitarian with over two decades of impactful field experience dedicated to serving and uplifting communities in need.
There is some points in this talk that are relevant to security for humanitarians. "Staying calm and performing at your best when you know that any mistake could mean death, requires a certain kind of mindset." Whilst as humanitarians working in the field it is impossible to visualize every possible challenge or danger that might be faced, through good realistic training provided by professional trainers with a pedagogical approach we can begin to fill memory banks with the information that we need so as not to freeze when the bang happens but rather to take action to help ourselves, our colleagues and have the resilience to survive a serious incident and hence been able to continue to support those in need. I repeat this often but it is still not enough. Those security rules that we ask you to read, they are also part of this process. To give you the information you need to feed into those memory banks that, hopefully, will trigger if there is an incident. Yes, I read about this sort of situation...I remember, we need to... Security is not rocket science, it is about preparation and mindset, neither of which costs much, a little time, a little effort and a little change in mindset. Of course if you can get on a good Hostile Environment Awareness Training do it! https://ifrcstaysafe.org/

I felt suspense while listening through this entire Ted Talk. It prompted me to wonder: (1) Is there a dream inside of you? Is there one inside of me? (2) In practice or rehearsal mode, what would getting ready for the fulfillment of the dream look like? (3) Like safety ropes to a climber, what precautions would help during such a rehearsal phase? (4) Would these precautions even need to go away in order to see the dream fulfilled? Any thought? Comment below.

Alex Honnold's breathtaking journey up El Capitan is a vivid testament to human potential transcending the imaginable. Watching him conquer such an audacious challenge, ropeless and resolute, reminds us all of the extraordinary feats we are capable of when we shed the shackles of fear and doubt. In my work, I frequently encounter individuals ensnared in the web of 'what-ifs,' their aspirations muted by the hum of uncertainty. Yet, here stands a man who embraced the ultimate 'what-if' and emerged not just victorious, but transformed. This talk is more than an adventure story; it's a clarion call to awaken the dormant courage within each of us. Alex's ascent is a metaphor for the uncharted heights we can all reach when we dare to let go of our safety ropes – the excuses and doubts that tether us to mediocrity. Imagine a world where each of us taps into that latent, raw potential, scaling our personal El Capitans. What could we achieve? How might we transform? As a speaker and coach, I've seen firsthand the transformative power of embracing risk and challenging the status quo. Alex's journey resonates deeply with my mission to unlock this potential in others. His story isn't just about climbing; it's about the human spirit's capacity to transcend limits, both real and perceived. To the TED Conferences organizers, and to all who seek to inspire and be inspired, I extend an invitation: let's explore these uncharted territories together. Let's delve into the essence of human potential and discover what happens when we dare to climb our own El Capitans. The view from the top is waiting. Allow me to leave you with a glimpse into my own story. I was once a little boy who sold bread on the streets at the tender age of 7, a child who survived against all odds. My journey was marked by tragedy – my father perished in a car explosion, and my stepfather was brutally murdered. I endured mental and physical abuse, yet these hardships became the forge for my resilience. I turned my fears into a relentless drive to persevere, because I knew others faced even worse. At the age of 6, I made a choice not to end my life but to become the change I wished to see in the world. My goal became to ensure that no more children had to suffer or die on the streets. If we can save one life, a dozen, or even hundreds, then that is a life worth living. Never forget: the days that break us are truly the days that make us. -Carlos Siqueira #tedx #tedtalk #tedxspeaker #speaking #motivationalspeaking
