Disney Brand Loyalty Keynote Speaker
Five daily blogs about life's 5 big choices on five different sites.
Some of my friends work in healthcare. You have friends who do too.
My Family has been in and out of hospitals many times. You and your Family have too.
There’s this one particular hospital, say 1,000+ employees. They have a vision/mission like every other company.
There’s not one person who doesn’t know what it is.
Remarkable!
What does it take for that to happen within an organization, of any size, in any industry?
Thursday night our son(9) and I were enjoying the pool as the hot Florida sun was preparing to set.
As I floated on the raft, our conversation turned to business and I was explaining the money quadrant in the Mid Life Celebration model.
Listening to the echo of my own voice, I had to go inside and write this down:
“I thought I was worried about alienating myself from my friends. Turns out I was worried about whether I was right or wrong.”
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.
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?”
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.
