For the longest time, companies have told employees that you
got to be engaged with the company vision.
But what if we flip that?
What if companies were engaged with an employee's vision of themselves?
Bill Jenson said that this was going to be a trend for the companies of the future.
And he said that one of the best examples of this was what we're doing right here
at Mindvalley with the concept called the 3 Most Important Questions.
When you join Mindvalley as a newbie, we have all our people do an exercise
where they dream about their future selves.
And they write down the experiences that they want in the future,
the growth that they want, and how they want to contribute to the world.
All of these pieces of papers essentially become a blueprint to someone's soul.
When you look at the 3 Most Important Questions results of any individual,
you see who they are and what they're about.
Now, imagine all of this on a wall, a giant wall where everyone can see
what each of their peers intends to be in the future.
And imagine if the entire company was supporting each other,
not just in business goals but in helping each other attain their personal goals.
People gather on this wall and see that they have common peers who might want to,
say, hike the Himalayas, and so they organize a trip.
People see that they have peers who want to take part in sporting events,
so they go and train together.
And one of the most remarkable things about this process is that
for whatever reason, the crazy ideas that people write down
tend to come true in an almost magical way.
We can't even explain it.
This lady, Luminita Saviuc wrote down that she wanted to be
a bestselling author, that she wanted to travel the world and be a photographer.
While working at Mindvalley, she wrote a blog post,
on her personal blog called "15 Things to Give Up to be Happy."
Nothing happened for the first six months, then people started sharing it.
It ended up becoming the most shared personal growth article,
probably in the history of Facebook, 1.2 million shares.
She got a book deal from Penguin.
Today, she travels the world, writes books, and is a photographer.
Amir Ahmad joined us from Sudan at the age of 22.
He wrote that he wanted to speak around the world.
He wanted to be a bestselling author.
While at Mindvalley, he wrote a book.
That book ended up being picked up by Foreign Policy magazine as one of the
must-read books of 2013.
Today, Amir speaks at Ivy League universities and even speaks at massive
events like the Oslo Freedom Summit.
Jason Campbell said that he wanted to someday be a public speaker and inspire
people all around the world in sales and entrepreneurship and marketing.
He was once at an A-Fest helping with logistics, making sure the soundcheck was
happening and the stage was set up right, and we had a speaker who felt sick
at the last minute.
Jason begged me to put him on stage.
And I thought, "Okay, what could go wrong?"
I put him on stage, he ended up being voted best speaker.
Today, Jason is the host of Mindvalley's mentoring channel on making a better
impact at work.
Ronan wrote down that he wanted to be a world-class sportsman and speak
in a TED stage.
He ended up competing in the Viper Challenge,
came out 1 out of 20,000 people.
Next thing you know, he was invited to speak at TEDx in Kuala Lumpur
and later on in Paris.
Today, he's our health transformation coach in the company.
But all of it started with his 3 Most Important Questions.
So imagine if companies operated that way.
Imagine if, when you joined a company, you knew that your bucket list,
you're going to be able to start checking things off because of the energy appears,
the way the company supports you.
When you do this, everything else starts growing.
People stay longer.
They're more excited.
They contribute more to our company.
They are more engaged.
In fact, Gallup did a poll of some 10 million employees and they found that
people who answer yes to the following question were the best people at work,
and that question was, "Does my supervisor or someone at work
care about me as a person?"
If people can answer yes to that question, every other dimension of human performance
elevates because we feel cared for.
We feel supported.
