A 2009 short clip of Steve Jobs speaking about two things:
- Thinking differently.
- The kind of people Apple makes tools for.
Be amazed and be amazing today. Pretty sure the world can use your help.

Is Leadership a snare for mediocrity?
The deathtrap of feeling too important.
As leaders, if we are not careful, our calendar becomes more important than our vision.

Is it time to fire the person in charge?
Who’s in charge?
Great leaders confront issues, not individuals. Good leaders beat around the bush.
If you can not have hard conversations with yourself, you’re really going to struggle with holding yourself accountable for balance, wellness, and thriving.
As we get older, these become exponentially more valuable.

Will celebrating milestones help your culture thrive?
Should you be let go for our obvious, gross negligence?
Will celebrating milestones help your culture thrive? Of course. Yet it’s astonishing how many people know it but do not actively design their corporate human resource practices with intentionality.
It’s Sunday, January 25, 2015. Who cares? No one.
But what if we recalled that January 25 was jungle jeff’s very first day with the Walt Disney Company?
But it was so long ago, 1982, that it no longer has relevance or value to today’s work.
Epic failure.
Hard to appreciate the Mississippi River without the knowledge of it’s headwaters.
Most of your employees have no knowledge of your founder. Not even if their life depended on it.

What good are Company perks if we ignore them?
What good are Company perks if we ignore them?
Employee benefits are meant to bring joy and happiness to employees and their family and friends.
We humans have a habit of postponing today’s joy because we are so busy. We promise ourselves we’ll cash in on those joyful moments when the timing is right.
As they say, “No time like the present”.
There was also an orchestrated Magic Moment at Disney University’s “Company D” store. It included a Disney Cast happy birthday wish and concluded with Donna selecting her choice of a Cast exclusive Disney trading pin, compliments of Mickey Mouse (as far as she knows).
And perhaps the icing on the cake was seeing Mickey Mouse three times at DU. It was unexpected (and delightful) even for the “tour guide”.
While we could have snapped photos of Mickey there, we chose not to out of a deep respect for Disney’s Corporate Culture.
Insight: Not all perks are genuine. Some are meant to manipulate. Today was 100% genuine. Thank you Walt Disney.
