Lei’d back Luau preparations.

It’s not the Magic that makes it work, it’s the hard work that makes it Magic.

It takes a long time for lucky breaks to begin happening

Letter in mailbox
Had our 14-year old write a thank you note to the Director of Admissions two days ago.

 

After a third and final High School tour at 9am, i’ll begin the drive to Ft Lauderdale to deliver tomorrow’s Leadership Keynote Speech at the 2015 gMed Summit.

This is the first post-Disney retirement speech in which the audience is a mixture of attendees from many diverse healthcare providers.

This is the type of engagement in which future speaking opportunities generally come from.

Note to self: Hand-written thank you notes are rare, hence valuable.

His destiny is to teach and inspire people to choose thriving.

Leaving tomorrow for Ft Lauderdale to deliver a 60-minute Leadership Keynote speech in two days.

To influence smart business people to change transform might be the loftiest, most impossible goal there is.

Kinda like a David versus Goliath.

Thank goodness for simple tools, like a sling and a stone.

Bring on the giant!

Planning on bad things to happen – worst case scenario – is common in business. It’s part of the risk exploration, risk tolerance, and risk recovery planning.

Great companies over-manage this.

Good companies either under-manage this or ignore it altogether.

Same with individuals.

Chasing a dream to be an Olympian.

Remember that book about excuses, regrets, and second chances?
