 But now an applause for Aya. Identifier now to design your next. I have a surprise for you. This presentation is not made by me. This presentation is made by you. Did you know that? My conference started yesterday. And those are you guys. That was the first day when I arrived and I was sitting there with an apple in the hand. I had no idea what to present today. Well, I know the topic, obviously, right? But I didn't know how to give this information to you. So I held this apple and I hoped that some magic will happen similar as with Isaac Newton or with the Steve Jobs or Ada Maneve or the Snow White who found her prints. And imagine or not that really happened. And I got an idea by looking to you. And I understood, okay, what am I trying to figure out? I'm trying to figure out my next, meaning this presentation. So I need to start with designing my now. So I used my own pill or my own medicine to do what I'm doing currently. And I will try to lead you through that and also show to you how that worked. But as I said that all, also the techniques and methods inside, everything is made by you. It's not made by me. I just try to somehow put it together and show another angle of that or how we were talking yesterday in our workshops adding my piece of puzzle to that. So piece of puzzle and me in now. So what was my now yesterday? I think the same as for all of you workshops. And it was amazing, wasn't it? And each of us the same as these lines, we went to different workshops and it was really hard to decide to which to go because we want to attend all of them and all of them impacted us. Somehow gave ideas and how we look at it. And workshops I attended impacted me directly and I actually couldn't imagine before that I could find all my answers to today's presentation in those workshops. So it started with Peter, thank you, with your workshop about research. And outcome for me in that workshop was that there is one very important variable in applied improvisation which kind of doesn't help with research but it is must have in order applied improved work and that's the person. And that's either the person who is running the workshop or one-on-one training and also the person who is participating and all the team who is participating. So every single thing that we are doing and every single workshop, even if we copy paste it all the time, it is different because of that variable. And that's a good news because this being different also although you are using the same methods it must have in this tool that I will present to you shortly. Second one to which I almost didn't go. I was passing by. I wanted to go to the other one which is next to that room and then that stopped me. And he said, well there is no one yet so are you interested to come here and join and we start to talk about what is there and when he said this phrase you know this feeling when you go to the business and they ask you what you do and you say oh I improvised and now I'm being terrier and they are answering, oh my god that's something I could never do. That clicked me. But that is exactly about the tool I will show to you today because although it can be used and advised to use for improvisers and I use it myself as well it is actually designed to use for persons who has never in their life played a single improv scene and maybe even haven't seen one. So that's exactly for that one and out of this workshop came out one more amazing thing afterwards. I was discussing everything that was in the workshop with I saw you somewhere here Per and I wrote down the sentence that you said that sentence is the highlight of this tool or combination of methods that I will give to you and now listen carefully that's the sentence of the conference I promise you. So the sentence is with applied improv we can add microphone into our brains and listen what's happening there. So that, thank you Per, that's exactly what person can do by himself all alone or in the group by using this tool that I will show to you. So then I went back to the place where I'm staying and I thought okay I have these ideas inside I need to put it together and then I remembered that I participated in one more workshop and that workshop kicked my ass because when I was looking at the list of the workshops that was something that I thought oh no I don't need to go to that one come on I know how to facilitate I don't want to do that in my country and you know all this stuff and then it's like oh wow stop there what an arrogance right you cannot know everything so every one of us has their shiny side and the dark side and this feeling was the first one which I got out of this happily that I really went there I loved all the information there and the method that I will give to you it actually opens both the bright side and the talents of yours and the dark side as well because in order to move into your next you need to know your now 100% including the dark side so thank you Jan for this workshop it really opened my dark side and I got a lot of good info which I wouldn't know if I wouldn't go there this is how you made all this so let me now show you what is that you made and that's me by the way in the improv scene being dragged showing us a little bit of associations that sometimes when we do not acknowledge where we are then we just let life drag us and that's not too good right this method I call it TIA it can be used both for solving small questions for example where will I have my birthday party or big ones what should be my next job what is my purpose in this life should I move from one city to other or even countries so you decide and based on what is your purpose you use this method so how do you use that T stands for talk and talking is the part with which you actually have a microphone in your head what you do you put on the recorder you put on a timer and you talk for 10 minutes and with every minute you need to add new action new information about this topic on which you want to decide and understand what's happening there now and what is important you add to this action also emotion you tell loudly how you feel when you do that or this is happening or where you're living there or that you're having that kind of lunch dinner and etc go to the details it's all good but every minute you need to add one more action one new thing first 3 or 4 minutes it will be predictable the minute 8, 9 and 10 will blow your mind promise I obviously stands for improvise however if you don't want to use this word I sometimes for people who are scared from this word I say daydream just daydream and then you play with that but before you need to listen what you were talking about and then write it out on the paper action, emotion, action, emotion action, emotion technically there should be at least 10 actions, emotions sometimes several emotions added to one action after you listen to that you pick one good and one dark one which you don't like which didn't have this positive or good emotion and then you play with it how do you play with it? with good one will you know how to make hero stories of super heroes, right? so you start with that you are talking about this good action that you do in your life regards this topic and you increase it increase it, increase it and make it your superpower like if you are answering to the questions in the job in the call center and you feel that this way you can help people so you increase this as your superpower that actually you hold the knowledge of the world on your shoulders and you can support every single person that you meet you have this power inside you so just talk about it make a crazy story and create this into your superpower the negative one you use the method which is called emotion swap or changing emotions and you start to tell the story actual, true about this action and negative emotion that comes out of it, like in my case arrogance and then continue telling this story loudly that's important part until you manage to swap that negative emotion and go into some positive situation and you never know what that will be right, that you can know only when you start to tell your story with the purpose to change the emotion that's the improvised part and the last one well we couldn't live without that right, we wouldn't be there without that it's a play so you go and try it out whenever you do this action with this positive emotion you remember that that's your superpower put it in your face you put it in your body and you just do it on the maximum and you do it like if this is a call center when I'm picking up the call then I'm okay, that's my superpower I can solve everything and I'm not answering in the way okay Taya, how can I help you but I am here how can I help you today so you do that with that importance in you that there is this superpower and that's it, just observe what happens what changes and then you can go to the next one as in my case I noticed that this happened okay I need to go there because that was my dark side, my arrogance I remember yesterday sitting there and wanting to take photo of the most important slide so this one is it here is everything said so I'm moving forward just to remind you as you saw those are just games, impro games but used in the purpose to design your next to identify your now designs your next but a little bit this part helps with small things next what I will show you helps with little bit more complicated things however it cannot skip this one designing your now so talk for 10 minutes recorded every minute action emotion and then write it down, listen, choose two ones, work on them, make a superhero story, change emotion in the bad one and then try to write it so this you're designing your now it means that you're technically knowing where you are and you're raising your leg in order to make your next step and in order to design your next you literally need to make a step and one step at a time and this method you use as follows so you know your now and you start working like this and your task is to make a one word at each step you cannot stop you cannot hesitate you need to continue this pace and you start with telling your now what you already know so start with I'm doing that I'm working there, I love this and then there is moment when I need to decide where I want to go what is that my next big question I'm searching and I keep walking in this pace and I'm talking one word at a step before I know and that's how again you get this recorder in your brain through the spontaneity and your body you're getting out the subconscious, that info that is already inside you and that is how you are designing your next so I thank you a lot for creating this presentation for inspiring from all in the past you can see me there reading the book do you recognize the book? it's by Alice Paulin Games for Lone Actors my favorite one which also inspired this one because you can do that on your own alone or using in coaching sessions one on one or even in the groups and thank you for letting me share that with you let's continue the journey
