Will be returning to Disney Institute full time in May.

Sorry, April Fools.

We set the call for 9:40am. He wanted to see if a former Disney Institute Professional Speaker might be a right fit for his client.

The run became extended – much longer than expected, so the call was placed from Disney’s Magic Kingdom Cast Member parking lot.

His client owns, as he states, “The Country’s most profitable Casino“, in Syracuse, New York.

After the call, walked over to Disney University for a drink of water and then began the three mile walk home.

A random walk downstairs (from the main conference center) led to the discovery of this meeting room and message

 

We must be the initiator of our own professional development.

As much as we’d like other’s to take an interest and care for our professional well being, the odds are very high that everyone else is just as busy as us.

And often (daily?) we (all of us?) are just trying to survive the day.

The two keys to spending more time thinking about going to work

Miami Heat and American Airlines Arena
Life is not a spectator sport.

 

There are two ways we spend our work days.

  • driven to get ahead, always chasing the prize of more
  • going through the motions, trying to avoid painfully watching the clock

The creative ability to find the good bits, and orchestrating a lifestyle to not need more are the two keys to spending more time thinking about going to work than leaving.
