Teach hope…

At work?

Yes.

The bar doesn’t lower when you show up at work.

End of story.

Ps. Happy present moment.

Harvesting a lifetime of work.

Then you get to retire from a lifetime of work.

What’s the harvest?

Whatever you sowed.

Compounded hope at work.

In 1999, i transferred from 15 years in Disney Resort Hotel operations to professional speaker at Disney Institute (DI). It was their request that i join their team.

My first leader, Guy Smith, called me a competent incompetent.

Guy, sensing from my face i was too unsophisticated to understand that, said, “You know how much you don’t know. It’s a rare trait. It’s a compliment.”

In the ensuing years i made more quantifiable mistakes speaking than many professional speakers have given speeches.

One of my key hopes was i would never make a mistake big enough for any audience to recognize.

Note: Beginner’s luck runs in my family and i never made a perceptible mistake. This ‘invisibility’ fueled my fire for continuously taking small risks that compounded my experience and repertoire durning the 15 years i spoke full-time at DI.

Second note: This risk-taking trait (quality) continues to this day, as i currently prepare for my next Disney Customer Service Keynote speech.
