This is exactly what busting an industry stereotype looks like

This is exactly what busting an industry stereotype looks like…

 

 

Sure, Delta Airlines has been breaking the mold for years with their humorous safety videos. Qantas is doing the same thing, but without the humor. Instead, they connect from a different angle, using a deep emotional connection. They are banking on a different human motivation to ensure their passengers watch.

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.

You know the saying, “Impossible is nothing”?

Map My Run screen shot
Routinely running 8-10 miles three times a week was impossible until i (got older) retired.

 

Most of us are buried (daily) with things to do so we race through our stress-filled days.

i remember many years decades of wondering if it was possible to break free and design a life that was different, and better, than the rat race i was living.

Turns out, it’s not impossible.

Everything sends a message about what you value

Healthcare provider mission statement
Wow, can’t help but wonder how many patients care about the first sentence.

 

Tattered sign in medical office
Everything speaks. What does a front and center sign (first thing you see) say to a new patient?

 

Everything sends a message to customers:

  • People (employees)
  • Processes (policies, procedures, tasks)
  • Place (physical, virtual, phone, forms, etc)

During tomorrow’s arrival for our Son’s colonoscopy, betting i’ll see more.

PS. During yesterday’s dry run drive and office visit, i snapped the two photos. When i left i couldn’t get the (only) patient exit door open. The receptionist said, “You have to push really hard.”

It’s easy to forget how challenging it is to speak

Windermere Prep State of the School
Yesterday morning. Note the time on the laptop, 8:53am.

 

Windermere Prep State of the School
The opportunity to hear a 70-year old Headmaster speak is rare.

 

Windermere Prep State of the School
To miss this opportunity to hear Dr Tom Marcy speak would be sad.

 

Windermere Prep State of the School
Seniors in the center, on the floor. Eleventh through 8th grade seated in the bleachers.

 

Windermere Prep State of the School
i left halfway through the 90-minute assembly, accomplishing what i set out to do.

 

It’s easy to forget how challenging it is to deliver a speech that stirs the human soul. Yesterday was a great reminder.

The reward for thinking small

Disney Leadership keynote speakers
Scribbled this idea on a post it note a couple weeks ago.

 

At Disney, the belief is simple:

If everyone does a little all the time, a lot gets done.

It’s the engine that powers the Magic-making machine.
