- What happens when you really learn to trust yourself? Jo Simpson will take you on a journey that draws on her own experiences, offering you a way to let go and let life lead the way.
This talk was delivered at Edinburgh's iconic Central Hall on Thursday, February 18th 2016 and was a part of series of talks given at the TEDxUniversityofEdinburgh 2016 Conference.
Jo Simpson is a leading authority on values based leadership, recently publishing her first book “The Restless Executive - Reclaim Your Values, Love what You Do and Lead with Purpose” in June 2015. It was Jo’s own restlessness, that inspired and led to the transitions and transformations she has experienced in recent years; developing a courage, clarity and consistency that she now lives her life by.
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at ted.com/tedx
Your message is coming at a perfect time. I’m 62 and have held off going back to college to get my Masters. It’s time. Thank you!
Mister Vic Lalli yes it is. Do it t it’s NEVER too late!
Hi. I've just read your comment and i feel so inspired. I wish your doing well and would achieve your disired results.
Mister Vic Lalli lmao that’s just the voice of reason. That’s a waste of
Time and money at your age
Did you go back for your Masters? I love it and hopeful you did
me too
"There's a part of you that's bigger than you. There's a part of you that knows the answers."
To trust yourself, first you must love yourself
❤️❤️ Thank you so much for this reminder
Ya , a great correlation
I'm really in a bad place right now. I'm really confused how to get of the situation, but seeing this really inspired me. And I promise to myself today that I'm going to get myself out of this. No matter what
You can only see the path if you start walking.
Life has a bigger plan for you! 💫
All the best 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Kranti when I'm feeling unsure uncertain and insecure about a decision then I take one step at a time. Not at first I have to go through some motivational videos or on UA-cam usually lately and then audio books. I do process of elimination of what I need to do what I want to do what is the best thing for me to do what is in my best interest. Then I feel wonderful and free because I realize it only takes one step at a time to get anything done. Keep that in mind one day at a time it could be one minute at a time. And that's it. Control only what you can control.
As someone's who's been playing small for my whole life just to avoid failure, I took on Jo's dare. Thank you for this insightful talk, I truly appreciate it.
It's never a failure if you learn from it!! Hope you're daring to do it :)
Great to hear Y P ;-)
I lived in Missouri my whole life and after teaching for a year decided to get my master's degree. I chose a college in Chicago, even though it made absolutely no sense--I had no job, no connections, no friends out there. 5 months later, I met my lifemate (I hadn't dated in 3 years). We'll be celebrating our 1 year anniversary in 2 weeks. :)
If something isn't flowing and youre being met with constant hang ups, thats your key
For some reason, what you just said^^, something clicked. Perhaps the simplicity of your statement is what did it. THANK YOU.
Key 2 what precisely?
It's essential everyone has healthy high self-esteem. The society is full of negativities starting from family, school, peers, works, and communities. Ignore to live to social expectations. Life is an only once given chance to experience what life is. No need to be bound and constrained by the social expectations. Most of people die with regrets and remorse, because they haven't live their life according to their desires and potentials.
Very well-put!
Completely agree. Some will just have to figure it out for themselves so they know who they are. I’m too am tired of following agenda and practicing on living for myself.
I'm pulling the trigger quit my job.. selling my house moving from Boston to San Diego... My soul won't stop calling me there
Sending Love ❤️... Debra, Are you single 😊❤️
There were one time i irgnored my inner voice, i chose doing what others said, it lead to an accident and i lost my finger, no matter how your inner voice seem wrong or... Unlogically, even immorally, listen to it. When i started to listen to my inner voice, everything turn out flawlessly ever since
Please pray for me cause I have many challenges in my life
Jesus Christ Loves YOU 💖💙💖
I’m divorcing a narcissist and he’s really trying to hold me prisoner in the marriage. He won’t succeed because I know I have a message to teach and spread to others I’ve started on this journey and I’m now more encouraged to keep going after hearing this talk thank you
Well done for spotting it and knowing your worth! Be vulnerable and ever so powerful
Good for you! I hope you divorced the narcissist or are on your way to doing that, that you're safe physically, and that everything works out well from that point.
Sending Love ❤️... Gabrielle, Are you single 😊❤️
Jo I know this is 4 years old and i'm coming across your TEDx now, but I loved it. You spoke so "on point" about how we are learning to quiet our doubt and deepen our trust of self. I love how you took one step of doing something you loved and felt enthusiasm for and then the magic of attracting what we need lights the way! Great presentation!
This was one of the most beautiful and critically important talks I’ve ever listened to. Thank you, dear Jo!!!
It’s so motivating. I am on my steamroller right now.I believe myself.
Universe made me encounter this video, I needed this guidance. ❤ Each words she said is so true, it's you who know everything, it just we need to listen to our soul voice.
thank you, thank you, thank you universe :)
@Sushanth Bobby It doesn't matter how You call it. A God, Universe, RNG, or a choice. We have little to no influence to what happens to us in life, because most of it is written into our genes. What we CAN do is act on the things we believe to be true (act on the gut feelings), instead of spontaneous actions or habits.
people please pray for me, nothing seems to be working out in my life. I want Goes will for my life. Thank you to all prayer warriors.
mary wolfe - don’t give up
Yes, do not give up!!! Never. Seek God...trust Him to lead you through the Holy Spirit that lives in your heart. That is the little voice that leads you in the right direction. God is love and wants only good things for you. Seek Him and you will find your way in this life. He gives us our “gut” instinct that she is talking about. God is not confusion and He always meets us just where we are. I am not a religious person. I just have a relationship with the Lord. Anyone can. I will be praying for you!! ❤️🙏 God will show you your calling. I know so!! The Word says seek and you shall find, knock and it shall be opened unto you. ❤️🙏
mary wolfe pray for yourself
Listen to your inner voice, don’t give up. There’s something beautiful and powerful inside of you
you might want to read this Book. "The Secret" by Rhonda Bryne.
When you say something like "nothing seems to be working out in my life".. you are definitely going to attract more negativity. Choose positive words and always filter ur thoughts voluntarily. Be aware of the negative thoughts.. and think of these thoughts again, only this time in an optimistic way. Thoughts manifest.. be it negative or positive. Its a dangerous thing. I suggest you to read this book. It has helped me with my life. Im taking this time to write this message because i know how u feel and what u are going through. You had typed this a year back. I hope you are happy with your life now and i hope positive things have happened in your life.
I'm reading all these comments and I am getting allot of great advice. I appreciate you all. Thank you universe. Blessings love and light 🙏🌍🌈💖😇
That’s exactly what I needed to hear in my life today. I’ve come to the fork in the road. The one path is rocky and steep with unknown potential. While the other path is paved and easy leading me to a mediocre existence.
Same Here - what did you choose ?
@@oilinmyface787 I actually took the Rockier route, which has lead me to a place that I never imagined I would be
@@jstawkwow, thank you for answering ! I Imagine the place you are in right now has its Up and its downsides ?
@@jstawk and would you say youve regret the decision ?
So relevant to what is happening now! Feel-Good is NOT coming from within us: Herd Mentality has gripped the West! Individual courage is receding.
Validation from outside motivates us.That has its pitfalls. Timing of my comments 1st week June 2022 is very relevant.
Great talk and so true. Learnt that there is a path for you - where it leads, I don't know but what I do know is when you meander off the path, life seems to throw a lot at you to get you back on it. I've learnt to take each day as it comes and listen to the quiet voice within. Now when you have people frustrated with you because you are not doing what they want you to do, I feel this tremendous calm and peace - no angst - like it is someone up above saying keep following the path - it's ok. Thank you Jo - not many people like you and not many that have found enlightenment through their spiritual self. A sort of getting to know yourself of which a lot of people haven't done because they are uncomfortable with.
Thank you Laura. Peace
Sending Love ❤️... Laura, Are you single 😊❤️
I can't even explain how perfect this is, I'm working on something for psych and my question is "does love at first sight really exist", and I'm connecting it to intuition and "gut feelings" and this really did wonders
My love at first sight went back when I was 22 years old. It was only 1 time and it was it
That’s so true! I’m listening to my intuition, my gut since the last 20 years and it works best for me... :)
Sending Love ❤️... Petra, Are you single 😊❤️
Thank you Jo, my heart and soul says that. It is a dream so big it terrifies me. Now I think maybe I should be listening to my nudge.
I realized this about myself recently, I'm quick to look towards others for guidance even when I feel like I may have the right answer... I wasn't allowed to think for myself when I was younger but I'm ready to start. It's beyond time to start.
I’m having a hard time after I finally heard my intuition... at the time it was clear that it was not good for me, now I keep having to remind myself the red flags I saw then. I’ve been giving too much importance to what I lost but because I still can’t see what I’ll gain with that decision.
Omg, I'm feeling the same. I resigned my job, where I was valued and important, but it was a very demanding, stressing job and one I didn't love. Now I'm looking what I'll do and when I get despertate I try to remember why I chose this and that I'm doing my best, even if I'm a bit lost.

Your message has given me more courage to continue to push forward and trust in myself. Moving to a different state, things are taking a lot longer than I thought it would, which causes some anxiety and frustration. After listening to you, I definitely believe and trust that I've made the best decision and am positive about my future. Thank you!
Great message, delivered with a great combination of frankness, eloquence, and wonderfully reserved yet fresh, intense, passion. This lady is full of life. bravo, Jo!
Very frustrating this. I desperately want to change’ to grow, I sit in daily meditation, study books by the carload, spent money on therapy... but I don’t hear, nor sense any nudges. The inner voice is dead quiet. No messages from the universe, steamroller or otherwise either. Lost in the dark woods with no guidance from outside nor from inside. Hearing those semi-magical synchronicity stories is very frustrating indeed. Trying hard to be still, to listen to that intuition, that inner voice... Utter and total silence
profound, I have learned modern humans seek to dull those voices and often label them as anxiety and or meaningless thoughts. Jo's simple but profound message is very much needed. Thank you!
I know this journey quite well!!! I am so glad there are others who KNOW to pay attention to the nudges and what happens when you hit the snooze alarm!!!
Sending Love ❤️... Fiona, Are you single 😊❤️
Just a few days ago, I was stopped at a stop sign, and I looked to my right, and I saw cars coming. They weren't that far off, but I could make it. I felt my gut saying no, stop. Wait. But my head was like nah, I'm fine, so I gunned it, then looked to my left, and saw a car was *right* there, so I slammed on my brakes and the side of their car made contact with the front of mine. No one got hurt, and it could have been a lot worse, but I keep reminding myself of the fact that my gut said to stop and I just ignored it. I gotta learn to listen
I've lived a life of unexpected results just like your coaching story. From surviving a train crash when I was a baby, to overcoming obstacles that I thought were unpenetrable. You're completely right, every time I listen to myself, I leap forward. Thank you for giving me the tools to understand my core values and how to incorporate them into my every decision.
+MikkiMoves My absolute pleasure and THANK YOU for sharing a piece of you with me - love how you listen and trust yourself - somehow, it's when we navigate and survive the tough stuff, that we 'get it' Keep BEING YOU x
+Jo Simpson +Jo Simpson you're welcome! Also realized I commented from the wrong account and I just wanted to say thank you from me.

Brilliant. I needed this today.
This message hits me hard. I've been struggling to save money to relocate but recently suspect I have cancer and I'm holding out to relocate to a better place that will give me a better life of a warmer environment and better job opportunities rather than stay where I am where nothing but low paying jobs: lack of warm friendly community. Winters last for 7 to 8 months very depressing very cold dead community. I'm torn between staying to seek medical help which would deplete all my money saved to relocate and I would be stuck where I am for a long long time and it would end my plans.
What did you do? Any solution? Warm community sounds very good 🥰 hope you made a great decision 🥰
@@jennyeklov4190 I'm planning to relocate by beginning of December I can't wait!
Loving this....and shared it to several online pages to inspire others. Thank you!! xxx
Life has a greater plan for us and we have to learn to trust.
Thank you Jo you have just helped me "unblock," trust myself, and see my thro to making one of the biggest decisions of my life. . .
So very happy for your breakthrough. How are things unfolding so far?😅
THANK YOU SO!!!! MUCH LOVE from Belgium💛💚🍀💗💙💜❤
So true about the nudges that come back. I finally listened & asked my customer out😀 ty for your message! J
Wonderful talk! I just listened to it twice in a row to try to get as much out of it as possible. And for starters, think I'm finally going to join a kayaking club I've been thinking about joining for several years but haven't because money was tight or time was tight. But kayaking is something I truly enjoy - like the speaker enjoys skiing, and not just for the activity itself but also being out in nature, etc. -- and I think I'd get a lot out of being able to do it basically whenever I want. And then I will see how I can apply her message to other parts of my life. Thanks much, Jo Simpson, and hope things are still going well for you!
Simple but very powerful. Thank you.
Wow!..i feel encouraged, thank you.
So brilliant! So powerful! Thank you Jo 💜🙏
Your message is clear and deep for me!!! I love your speech!!! I wanna watch more of them. Thank you :)
You must believe in your self that you have abilities
Yess!! I have to believe in myself that I have the abilities. Thank you so much for this reminder ❤️
Very nice done! Holding for so long, thank you!
This is pure gold. Thank you Jo.💛
I needed this . Thank you so much ♡
I was getting constant shivers throughout this talk
Sending Love ❤️... Rachael, Are you single 😊❤️
So true jo thank u for sharing this bcuz this resonated with me so much exactly what's been happening with me. I have to follow that nudge and i realise when i dont it hurts so much. You just have to although its scary many times. The consequences are much worse when you dont funnily enough.
Beautifully said, cannot agree more. thank you for this!
this was very helpful...thank you
I really appreciated this woman's talk. Also, and I forget the author, but the book is called, " The Gift of Fear. " The author talks about the dangers we face as listening to our instincts is not what we are doing as much as we should be. It's interesting and I think it teaches and reminds us of that inner skill we all have inside us. He points out many details we take in but discount second guessing ourselves, and how it's dangerous. However, it's not a fear inducing read either.
Life affirming and confirming talk. Thank you Jo!
Her words pierced through me. Definitely what I needed this time. Thank you!
Sending Love ❤️..., Gie, Are you single 😊❤️
Her voice calmed down my anxiety
Thank you for the encouragement thank you Madame Simpson
Best ever..I loved it..lots of respect for you mam..
Very helpful, love this!

I needed to hear this today, thank you !
Thank you for encouraging and inspiring us to trust what our inner voice is telling us. This is a really great video. The speaker is really awesome.
Sending Love ❤️... Are you single 😊❤️
Excellent talk. Thank you.
I have recently been broken by one of life's steam roller's. I am experiencing true heartbreak and repentence. I believe I have changed for the better, but a part of me will forever be sad that it was after a the greatest loss of my life.😭😢😫 I am trying to listen to nudges, i am an overthinker and I had conflicting nudges and regrets of a lifetime. The choices I made were with good intentions and logic but the outcome is intense pain, that is impossible to undo.
just what I needed to hear today,,, thank You Jo.
Sending Love ❤️... Sherry, Are you single 😊❤️
Excellent thank you 🙏🏾
She is soooo right
Oh the steam roller!!! I'm glad someone on Facebook shared this and I clicked on it. Thank you 🙏😇💖
Yes, "the steamroller of life" is a great expression, and I think we all knew what she meant when she said it... And how important it is to do yours best not to get run over by it -- and part of that, as she said, is listening to those "nudges" that come from your gut.
Why are we trying so hard to be someone we're not it doesn't matter who we are cause everything hurts just the same there is nothing we can do to stop the pain from spreading in our life's!!
Blessings to you so much. Ms. Jo
You really helped me today.
Univers help me to get out of my own way.
so love this
Sending Love ❤️... Dawn, Are you single 😊❤️
Wow needed this more than you know❤️
Thank you - this was wonderful!

it's a powerful visson.
*THANK YOU*
We are a product of this universe. If we hadn’t given thought so much importance we wouldn’t be out of touch of our other intelligences - intuition or inner knowing and ability to see and hear clearly in any situation. Intelligence IS clear knowing.
what drives you can link that to what you’re doing now. keep moving forward. true to you and your core values and listening to you checking in with values that decision WILL work because it’s right for you.
Thank you Universe and Jo Simpson, truly one of the best ones I've seen in a while!
Nice talk so nice
great speech!
This video is a gem💯
Those that trust themselves never lead a lonely life
takes a slap in the face to be proactive. a part of you that always knows what to do at any time! Act!
Thank you so much
Sending Love ❤️... Monica, Are you single 😊❤️
