From theory to Magic

Florida insect shedding
Noticed this today.

 

Florida insect shedding
Closer inspection revealed only a shell. Can you imagine how challenging shedding that must be?

 

From theory to Magic.

Provide hope where it’s elusive.

Impossible seems so real.

Until someone guides you past it.

On April Fool’s Day 2009, jeff noel began writing five daily, differently-themed blogs (on five different sites). It was to be a 100-day self-imposed “writer’s bootcamp”, in preparation for writing his first book. He hasn’t missed a single day since.

 

She’ll continue to do project work

Disney corporate trainer
Personal Trainer for Cultural Transformation. If i don’t write a note or create an Apple reminder, an idea is likely to be lost.

 

She’ll continue to do project work. Beginner’s luck runs in my family. So thankful she didn’t say it would be impossible to continue helping, now that she is back working full time as an Executive Chef.

As ideas pop into my head i write them down to help her do her art better.

Personal trainer for cultural transformation.

This analogy is perfect because i can not exercise for someone else, but as a personal trainer, i can help architect personal organizational vibrancy from a lifetime of developing, honing, and validating the best approach for longterm health competitive immunity.

Learning to lead yourself is often under-focused on at home

Cross Country warmup
Warming up, as a team – both high school and middle school.

 

Learning to lead yourself is often under-focused on at home. i think older parents are better positioned to over-focus on this. Older parents are often grandparent age, yet have full-on responsibility for a middle schooler or high schooler.

Sustainable Civilization

Walmart Automotive department claim check
Yesterday, four new tires and a new battery.

 

Tire ratings
Do you know the three tire ratings? Treadwear, traction, and temperature.

 

As the Walmart customer walked past me i caught a glimpse of his tee shirt – Sustainable Civilization – and couldn’t help but go to a feeling of admiration for the creative who coined the phrase.

i immediately began thinking about the possibilities:

  • Sustainable leadership
  • Sustainable excellence
  • Sustainable corporate culture
  • Sustainable trust
  • Sustainable shareholder value
  • Sustainable reputation

i could go on and on.

Does every day mean something?

The answer is up to us.

Patience is a virtue and challenging to apply 100%

Apple Genius Bar repair ticket
Apple Store Genius Bar appointment to replace cracked screen. A week’s wait for an appointment, a $99 deductible, and a one-hour wait is a small price to pay for a better future.

 

Patience is a virtue and challenging to apply 100% of the time.

But that’s what great leadership (and parenting) is all about, being consistent when the pressures tempt us to loose our patience.

Leadership is also about seeing ahead and preparing a future that is better than now, much better.

One small hairline crack from a single dropped iPhone led to a set of spider-web cracks after a second drop one week later. Heading back to Glacier National Park for a week i don’t want a third drop to render the iPhone useless.

Plan ahead.

Simple.

Not easy.

Temptation to wait almost always runs high.
