- Have you ever had a dream so big that you were not sure how you would accomplish it? Pete shares how the power of visualization and a willingness to put in an extra ten percent can move you towards accomplishing your goals.
Before starting his business career, Pete attended the U.S. Naval Academy where he earned a Bachelor of Science in physics. Pete served in the Navy as an aviator honing his leadership and decision-making skills as commander of a large multi-engine aircraft and 12-member crew during the height of Cold War tensions. Clear-headed and decisive under those extraordinary circumstances, he has applied that same leadership style to every challenge and opportunity he has faced in a distinguished career with such firms as Coca-Cola, Newell Rubbermaid and most recently, Licensing Brands, a business that he founded in 2009. Before transitioning to marketing, Pete earned his Master of Business Administration from the University of North Carolina Kenan-Flagler Business School where he was a Richard H. Jenrette fellow and salutatorian. Pete has operated in the global arena, having worked in more than 40 countries and managed extensive projects across national and continental borders.

Ed, it may take some time to create a video on my technique so in the meantime let me share the following:
1. I methodically choose those goals that I wish to accomplish.
2. I then picture a point where accomplishing he goal would be achieved and visualize that action.
3. I then go about making it happen.
Let me give you an example. I decided 8 years ago I wanted to write a book explaining how brands expand (into new categories), grow by the expansion and then ultimately thrive. I chose that book concept because I was perplexed that so many people didn’t know about my industry, the Brand Licensing industry (the one where companies rent brands to make products that people want to buy. Think Mickey Mouse tee shirts).
So I pictured in my mind the act of personally signing my book and giving it to a person who just purchased it. I could see myself at a table with the book being handed to me. I would be engaging with the new book owner. I then opened the book to the title page, wrote a short note and then signed my name. With a smile I handed the book back to the new owner.
It was this image that drove me to go to a book writing conference (twice), write the book proposal, find an agent, write the book and then find a publisher. Whenever I felt disheartened or deflated, I pictured myself signing my book. The image kept me focused and motivated. It got me through an especially difficult time when life was getting in the way of my goal and I was losing faith it could be accomplished.
I am proud to share that my book, Expand, Grow, Thrive was published in Feb 2018. It was a major accomplishment for me and even won a Book Excellence Award in Marketing. The coolest thing for me, however, is the feeling of elation I get whenever I sign my book and hand it to the new owner.
I hope this illustration helps you use my technique successfully. Either way, you will be better off for your effort! Pete
Hey Pete, this is the first time ever that I am seeing a comment made by the person in the Ted talk. I appreciate your comment. I hope they pin your comment to the top.
A great testimony to the Power of Visualization!
Thank you 🙏👍👌
What great stories! Thank you!
Thanks for sharing that experience on visualisation on how it workedfor you .. And also motivating others..
Thank you Pete
This is more about his experience than visualization...
Effing boring if you ask me
Mo A, let me share the following about my visualization technique:

Great story! Thank you for sharing!
It was a lot more storytelling than instructional - but I did like the points about how visualization will give you that extra 10% boost of determination. Good point.

@@petecanalichio2173 Omg, thank you so much for this and I'm so glad that you got it done!
Stories educate better than instruction.
Pete is also a great professor @ Georgia State 💯
You're gonna push over to the edge of success. Thank you
Thank you Pete for your message that supports the Visualization technique. One of my Sports athlete heroes is the late Jim Thorpe, a Native American who was awarded Gold medals for winning the Pentathlon and Decathlon events at the 1912 Olympics in Sweden. On the ship to Europe, his teammates observed that he was sitting around in a dream like state on the deck. When asked what he was doing, he said that he was imagining being on the award podium and creating mental pictures on going through the physical motions of his events. Nowadays that is common practice for many accomplished athletes. A video of the technique would be nice.
John, I am a huge fan of Jim Thorpe, but never knew that story. No wonder he did so well! I am sorry my talk did not have more of the technique, but there were certain limitations from the TEDx host. I have laid out more detail of my technique in the notes. Please scroll and you will find it. I hope you find it helpful.
Guess what, it really works cause I've been doing this for a long time. By visualizing you clearly know what you want and it helps make a plan. Only visualization and thinking of my dreams make me keep going.
Well-done, Pete! Very inspiring.
Angela and Dennis Buttimer
thank you for sharing your experience definitely i will be trying i heard lot of people saying visualize can give u a result which we r dreaming for long time thank you again for sharing your experiance thank you
It was such a pleasure Shiji! I hope you will be inspired.
Awesome talk.
Im going to watch this all over again to remind myself visualisation works thank you pete 😊
My pleasure! I hope it works for you.
Fabulous - Talk
The importance of that 10% extra it takes to dream and visualize can not be overstated: it is not just for the big goals - it is for each day: It is not just for your secular aspirations, but for your Spiritual compass - thanks for this message - thumbs up!
That truly is the bigger message. Thanks Bob for making that point.

This is wonderful! Thanks for sharing with us!!
Thankyou so much!
My pleasure!
Thank you
This dude is amazing!!
Thank you Dan. I hope my video will inspire you!
Loved it!!
LAW OF ATTRACTION, LIKE ATTRACTS LIKE. Get it first in your mind then get it in your reality.
Thanks. 👍 Process Visualization
My pleasure Sem Praktis.
Perfect
I read my letter after coming home from work as a greenskeeper at a private country club. I had worked for four years 28 hours a week while school was in session and 48 hours a week during the summer. I went underwater for my service. I can imagine how you felt when your daughter was appointed.
Thank you for your comment Bill. Your dedication got you through. As did my daughter.
All the money spent on me should be for all the things that are worth it that I should get, have, and keep. I should not suffer for the sake of being a good person. Amen.
right now iam preparing for pilot and this shows up...hope i achieve my dream and i will take this as a sign and will come back after a year...🙏
Never let go of your dream. Imagine yourself in the cockpit flying. Then think about what you need to do to get there. This could include taking flight lessons, saving money for them, joining the military like I did (I am a Navy pilot), etc. Once you have those thoughts start acting on them. You will be one step closer to making your dream a reality. Good luck!
Wow ❤️❤️
Thank you so much Viveka!
2 seconds before he ended with the Walt Disney quote I imagined myself at Disney World with my crush lol
If you can dream it you can do it Sayeta!
I'm second and I'm transcribing this video =)
I will be on the UCF Football Team as a QB this month.
Now visualize it. You may not get there this month but you could over time Leo.
Go Knights!
I dream of driving a rolls royce on the road with palm trees and miami beach when I look to my right
~ Johan Wolfgang von Goethe ~
Until one is committed, there is hesitancy,
the chance to draw back.
Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation),
there is one elementary truth,
the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans.
That the moment one definitely commits oneself,
then Providence moves too.
All sorts of things occur to help one
that would never otherwise have occurred.
A whole stream of events issues from the decision,
raising in one’s favor all manner of unforeseen incidents
and meetings and material assistance,
which no man could have dreamed would have come his way.
Whatever you can do, or dream you can do, begin it.
Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it.
Begin it now.
I agree wholeheartedly. Great post!
😍
🤩🤩🤩👍👍👍
Thank you so much Eloisa!
Why does it sound like hes reading off
had nothing really to do with visualization and all about his life story. why it works would be good to know and techniques on how to do it.
Laura,
Let me share the following which might provide more insight:
1. I methodically choose those goals that I wish to accomplish.
2. I then picture a point where accomplishing he goal would be achieved and visualize that action.
3. I then go about making it happen.

Brooo i have aphantasia 🤒🥺
First... Can you really do cart wheels??? My kids are mortified when I cart wheel now.
Thank you for your service.
I used to love climbing around in the airplanes as a kid on military bases... Cool career. I can definitely see how flying aircrafts prepares you to think fast.
Thanks for the motivation to put out those fires in life.
Not very well Sabrina! Haha. I appreciate your comments. My life is an accumulation of experiences and competencies. Together they prepared me for my dreams. Then I employed my technique to achieve my goals.
Hu else believes in God that believe that God just answers our prayers, nothing does itself
I believe God puts our dreams on our heart, but we then expects us pursue it with complete faith and confidence. My technique helps me do that.
So, if you're wondering why workers are seemingly in short supply, I'm here to enlighten you as to why this might be happening. And I'm sorry to say, it's not out of pure laziness.
1. Maybe it's because people don't want to use a degree worth hundreds of thousands of dollars to work at Smokie Mo's.
Nothing on visualisation 😬
Please see my note above.
He just randomly shouts for no reason 🤣
People need to stop starting their talk with a question. Be original.
Point well made!
No visualizeing or pictures in my mind
Please see my note above on technique.
@@petecanalichio2173 no visons in my mind period
@@efwilson823 Don’t sell yourself short. You have more capabilities than you think you do. You are able to do a lot more than you ever did in the past. God will help you if you will put your trust in Him. You can do this.
So he praised God with all of his mind so he could get to the Naval Academy? wtf
This man is NOT a public speaker
he's had a great time but it's no help to me lol
Working for a company who is making the people sick with their products is really no good idea. That's no good dream.
This entire video is him reminiscing via anecdotes of his past - there is basically zero implementable content. Not worth your time.
Colin, I am sorry you did not find watching worth your time. I thought it might be helpful if I shared an explanation I gave to another viewer of how I use visualization so you might be able to incorporate my techniques. Here are the steps I take:

2. I then picture a point where accomplishing he goal would be achieved and visualize that action.
3. I then go about making it happen.

You helped Coca Cola - you really care about people don’t you?
This is just an overachiever bragging about their accomplishments.
This delivery sounds so much as a boast. Wasn't excited, a bit dull. It did nothing for my dream. Thanks, but no thanks...lil
What I hear is a privileged man narrating his "achievements " that were facilitated through his social class and place of birth. People like him tend to be blind to other realities other than their own. I got nothing here
