Disney Brand Loyalty Keynote Speaker
Five daily blogs about life's 5 big choices on five different sites.
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.
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…)
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:
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.
One of the challenges with our business world is that the people who are capable of decision making are not capable of keeping up with technology. Many reasons for this, and it really doesn’t even matter.
Yet the people who keep up with technology and understand it’s potential, particularly with social media, are not in decision-making positions.
This forms an unfortunate paradox.
Every once in a while there are exceptions to the rule. I planted a seed with a fellow midlife runner on our Saturday run. Not sure he got it. Or that he can even remotely consider it.
Sooner, rather than later, this will create an opportunity point. Or not. And so it goes. Life. Hard decision. Risks. Boundary pushing.
But the potential rewards are enormous. Gigantic.
This is one of my favorite things about running. And about life.
