The Flywheel Effect | Edgar D. Barron | TEDxAzusaPacificUniversity

The Flywheel Effect is a metaphor for a personal transformational process that can lead to the identification and achievement of new and greater life goals. It begins with understanding how your life experiences determine what you see as possibilities in and for your life. The Flywheel effect describes the interactions between life experiences, possibilities, actions and results. Just as a true flywheel stores power and releases it when required, the Flywheel effect will demonstrate how the power and potential stored in human beings can be released - leading to a richer and more fulfilled life.
