Harry Potter Debuts

Maybe This Is Just A Dream
Maybe This Is Just A Dream

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:

  1. Autonomy – shedding status quo
  2. Mastery – our urge to get better
  3. 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.

Back To The Saturday Run

We Ran Through Windermere, Where Tiger Lives
We Ran Through Windermere, Where Tiger Lives

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.
