Dear Son – Page 44 – Disney Brand Loyalty Keynote Speaker

You have to bring the good time with you

You have to bring the good time with you.

Sunny weather.

Cloudy weather.

Doesn’t matter.

You can’t predict, nor control, what hand you’re dealt.

All you can do is make the best of whatever you’re dealt.

Those distant mountains really pop when the sun is shining brightly.

Not so much in cloudy, rainy weather.

Be okay dancing in the rain and letting your own light reach the mountains.

Attitude

Lake McDonald Lodge inside Glacier National Park.

Things only become a saying or a cliche if they are true.

Do you agree with this?

Remember, these are time-tested.

Passed down from one generation to the next.

Ya with me?

Attitude is everything.

Bonus saying: There are two wolves in life, pick wisely the one you feed.

Two career truths and a lie

Orlando Airport indoor fountain — Orlando Airport is one of the coolest i’ve been in.

Need an icebreaker for a group?

Two career truths and a lie.

The goal is to stump the others at their table, or in pairs.

Ask your audience to think of two of their biggest career or work accomplishments, milestones, or freakish encounters.

Perhaps they have patented a manufacturing process that has eliminated workforce injuries in an area where injuries were far too common.

Maybe they have a side-hustle as a comedian and have appeared on America’s Got Talent.

Then ask them to create an outrageous “lie” that competes with their two lifetime achievements.

The goal is to stump the others at their table, or their partner if they’re in pairs.

What were you born to do?

Disney Keynote Speaker — Met neighbor’s new Boxer puppy.

Disney Keynote Speakers — Artemus is the epitome of joy. My teaching is designed and delivered to be the epitome of hope.

Can you answer the following question? Yes.

What were you born to do? Teach.

If you aren’t aware yet, take your time but don’t wait. Ok. It took 40 years to finally discover my purpose.

Have you already discovered your purpose in life? Yes, in 1999. i was 40.

How did it feel when you answered your calling? The catalyst was a 1999 Disney Institute (DI) Business Programs Facilitator job offer, and, becoming a parent in 2000. By the way, i never wanted to be a DI speaker.

What was life like before that time? It felt good, but by comparison to today, it was status quo, going through the motions, sleep-walking through life. i had insidiously carved a deep rut into what had originally begun as “finding my groove in life”, somewhere in my early 30s. i was blindly ambitious and inadequate at seeing my many blinds spots.

What do you dislike about teaching? The reality that you can’t be a prophet in your hometown.

What do you love about teaching? The reality that i provide a catalytic opportunity for people and organizations to transform.

Here are common challenges you will/are/did face on your life’s journey:

The change might surprise you.
The change might not work.
There are no short cuts.
You might be able to see a different way forward.
Change, generally, is uncomfortable and unwelcomed.
This puts a lot of pressure on you to keep doing the safe thing – status quo.

We literally have to fail our way to success

Mark Zuckerberg interview — Mark answered questions with CNN last night about the data breach. With the world watching and Facebook’s future at risk, Mark still decided to show up in a t-shirt. Gutsy.

If you’re not prepared to be wrong (aka failure), you’ll never come up with anything original.

We literally have to fail our way to success.

Who knew?
