Disney Brand Loyalty Keynote Speaker
Five daily blogs about life's 5 big choices on five different sites.
It’s weird writing at the end of the day. Not writing in the morning made me feel off kilter. Morning writing is a personal commitment.
Personal commitments either mean something or they don’t.
And personal integrity – doing what we say we’re going to do – is the key to being a workplace leader.
We know this.
The first victory is over self.

Following is a blog comment i wrote yesterday in response to a blog comment from Brian:

Brian, first, i appreciate you taking time to (read and) comment. There is a lot of hype about “the benefits of this platform or that social media platform”. i’ve heard it all. There’s a ton of theory and best practices.
When you own your own business, you are in a different game than when you worked for someone else. You have to create your own brand, take your own risks, spend your own time and money. If you’ve never done it, it’s an incredible eye-opening experience. You make a lot of mistakes. You carry a lot of fear of trying new (different, counter-culture) things because everything you do has a consequence. And your ideas might not work.
Theory goes out the window.
All you have is what you try and what you learn from trying.
i shy away from the industry standard practices.
Why?
We have the choice to pick one of two: Become the best in an existing category, or to become the category.
All of my keynote speaking business comes from recommendations and referrals.
Would you pay a per-usage fee, a monthly fee, or an annual fee to listen to the podcasts you’ve described?
Thank you Brian for the thought-provoking dialogue. i hope i have returned the favor.

Facebook work, also known as our job or our career.
Is Facebook a hack (a “short-cut cheat” for avoiding the hard work, and risk, of creating our own platform – owning and managing a domain name – on our very own piece of digital real estate?
Do we really want to rely on our Facebook friends to become better informed about our world? (Because some of our friends have the time to act as curators, and they post what they think their “audience” will appreciate and enjoy)
Do we really want to push our world view on our friends without ever having their permission (because we never ask, “Would you like to hear what i think about ______?)?
Do we have any idea why we use Facebook, or have we just been swept up in the socially popular current and never creating our own personal vision of how and why we use Facebook (versus our own domain/website)?
And what about all our friends who we are not (for whatever reason) connected with? Does that mean we aren’t friends, or does it mean that we are not good friends?

In just 24 hours, we can see the unflattering reality of human behavior as well as the glorious example of what a human can do when they set their mind on goodwill.
The High School Theater performances included several international students who, until four months ago, didn’t speak english.
Stunning.
Both examples are stunning.
Both are choices made by the same species, humans.
The paradox of joy versus sorrow.
