Setbacks should be expected

Embrace personal struggles and opportunities, it’s how we learn and grow.

Setbacks should be expected.

Like the recent meeting about a giant business move forward.

Two days ago, the meeting was cancelled hours before it was to start.

Why this is stressful is because the project is already painfully behind.

The cancelled meeting makes it worse.

Like the college freshman, being able to confront the bad things – my fear and doubt – is significant personal growth.

We can become overconfident to the point of a blind spot.

What?

Our success rate with confidence, and plowing through fear and doubt, may just have a cancerous growth we can’t detect until it can not be ignored.

All of a sudden, we are faced with a business challenge that shouldn’t exist and now it’s so big that it drags the rest of the business down.

How are strong habits built?

Looking West, Northwest from the saddle between Clements Mountain and Mt. Oberlin. Will fatherly wisdom about habits and rituals make a positive impact?

How are strong habits built?

Repetition.

The challenge is this works both ways.

For avoidance or for participation.

Do it one day, the next day it is easier to do, and so on.

Do not do it one day and the next day it is easier to not do, and so on.

Time, discipline, focus.

Remember?

The mailbox may transform to handle online shopping demands.

Going the extra inch speech title ideas:

Going the extra mile is the wrong place to start for personal and organizational vibrancy.

Going the extra mile is a dangerous strategy. Here’s why it’s wrong and what you can do about it.

There is a time and a place for going the extra mile, and it’s rare.

Why going the extra mile is a flawed concept, and what to do instead.

Going the extra mile is the last thing you want to tell yourself. Here’s what you should say instead.

The genius of doing next to nothing and how you can change your world doing it.

There’s a time and a place to give up

quitting
Sad, but true. Do want you want to do with your life. It’s your life. Balance is a moving target.

There’s a time and a place to give up.

You can only learn this by experimenting with your judgment – this is your personal leadership responsibility.

Often, the test results from your experimenting won’t be available for months, years, even decades.

For example, giving up on staying active, eating and resting well, and staying motivated and having fun won’t generally reveal what a mistake that was until decades later.

How we falsely judge ourselves

Disney Podcast jeff noel
The partnership with Jody Maberry involves the transferability of using .think .differently in everything we do.

Picture a 17-year Disney Resort Operations Leadership veteran starting a new career as an official Keynote Speaker for Disney Institute.

Talk about a career change.

And the new speaker never carried a desire to become a public speaker.

Ever.

Pause and contemplate this…

We judge ourselves on our intentions, others judge us on our behaviors.

It was a personal mission to make the above statement my thesis for Disney’s Approach to Leadership Excellence. 

i learned, embraced, and taught this Disney Leadership business insight my entire Disney Institute career from 1999 – 2014.

Note: When i began teaching the four-day open-enrollment classes at Walt Disney World in 1999, i began asking questions i thought everyone should have a ready answer to, but no one did.

Astonished, yet optimistic, i forged my own hypothesis based on 15+ years in Disney front-line and front-line leadership roles.

It was the catalyst for my life mantra:

.think .differently
