Not reading to learn is first world illiteracy.

 

So reading.

Not wanting to read…essentially avoiding it.

You are in the same position as someone who can’t read.

Can you imagine the long-term disadvantage?

Insight: find sources that aren’t taxing to read.

You don’t have this luxury and you never should

Disney Institute Leadership Speaker
We either are or we aren’t.

 

Lead like you mean it.

At work.

At home.

Every day.

All day.

You are the CEO of You, Inc.

As owner, you don’t get the luxury of thinking, “That’s someone else’s job.”

It’s a cycle worth embracing

Disney Keynote Speaker
Be uncertain, yet advance. Failing comes with anything new. Learn from it. Repeat.

 

We can bank on being uncertain about many things during our lifetime.

We must learn to live with this reality and find a million creative ways to solve for uncertainty.

For example, be okay with being uncertain, yet advance anyway.

We will often fail because we were uncertain.

Fail away.

Failing comes with anything new.

Embrace it.

Learn from it.

Repeat.
