Less Than Half Benchmarking

This Hangs In My Office — Christopher Needed To Be Spoon Fed

Note: This is sort of a spoof, a play on words.

There’s a new personal transformation company I found(ed), called Less Than Half Benchmarking.

Well, that’s really only partially true. It’s not called Less Than Half Benchmarking. It’s called Mid Life Celebration.

But less than half of you reading this will visit Mid Life Celebration today.

Doing stuff that matters is hard work.

And even fewer will visit another benchmarking site, where there is a temptation to view excellence as showing off.

I promise to help you think differently.

You promise to not expect to be spoon-fed.

Quick Pulse Check

Are Your Dreams Heading To The Landfill?

If you asked yourself these questions, what score would you give yourself, with 10 being the highest and 1 lowest?

1. “I’m completely excited to wake up each day to go to my job?”

2. “I wouldn’t change a thing about my current job, it’s a perfect fit?”

Work Life Saver

Balance can ruin a career, and it can save a career.

I heard a story about Walt Disney’s wife, secretary and even his physician, all saying, “Walt, you need to get a hobby or you’ll work yourself into an early grave.”

Having the distraction of a hobby can actually make you sharper, more focused, more creative, more observant.

And if your hobby not only fuels your passion, but also teaches you more than you could have ever imagined, imagine that!

People who study Walt Disney’s life know that he was labeled by many as crazy. And that he insisted on nothing short of perfection. Always aim for perfection he’d say, and settle for excellence.

This is how life works. We face countless challenges. People may call us crazy, demanding.

They may also call us passionate, purposeful, visionary.

A real, work life saver.

Harry Potter Debuts

Harry Potter has a new attraction at Universal Studios. It debuts this morning.

However, instead, I’m at Disney’s Magic Kingdom, in the breezeway of Cinderella Castle.

Yes, at Disney’s Magic Kingdom. How I got here is a mystery, or maybe, Magic!

Harry Potter is an incredible franchise, but there’s no where else I’d rather be than Disney World on this, the first day of our annual summer vacation.

Oh, I hate to rub this in, but I’ve been here since 5AM. The Magic Kingdom is a special place before the sun comes up. (Wait, maybe this is just a dream…)

We All Want The Big 3

Life: Watch it, March in it, or Lead it?

Stumbled upon an RSA Animate video featuring Dan Pink. Have you heard of this guy? Have you seen his stuff on You Tube?

It blew my mind yesterday. The three things I wrote down from the ten minute video? The three things we all want, and the three things most organizational leadership structure neglects:

Autonomy – shedding status quo
Mastery – our urge to get better
Purpose – deep desire to make a difference

Posted three times here at jungle jeff yesterday. This may not be today’s final post either. I hope you feel energized today. It’s your responsibility.
