17 days on $200 cash

We got a window seat for lunch this day, while island-hopping through Washington State’s San Juan Islands.

i knew one thing for sure as a newlywed – doing something unique, perhaps even unconventional, would be way more memorable than doing the stereotypical honeymoon, which by the way, there was no way i (we) could afford.

Our 17-days (there was no predetermined length before embarking on the honeymoon) of travel were paid for with the $200 cash we carried with us.

That’s some crazy math: $200 to cover 17 travel days.

PS. There was that one night, when we stayed in Victoria, British Columbia motel, where we used Cheryl’s credit card. The campground was too far away, so we splurged.

Comparison is the thief of joy

expectations gap and unhappiness — Facebook insidiously leaves us unhappy as we view everyone’s “Life Highlights Reel”.

Comparison is the thief of joy.

Comparing what we want (expect) to happen and what actually happens.

Comparing what happens to others (the good stuff) to what happens to us.

Comparing our past memories of our world to the world we see today with all our adult responsibilities.

Pride in your workplace is unstoppable

144 Kentucky Derby — 144th Kentucky Derby

Mark Ruis is a successful businessman and yesterday during the Kentucky Derby, the TV spotlight was shown on him for a few minutes.

Why?

His horse is a longshot.

So is he.

He’s an unlikely first-time entrant.

The short documentary about his life highlighted his insatiable work ethic.

And how now – later in life – he tries to get out of as many business trips as possible so he can spend as much time as possible with his Family.

Most executives i know look back and acknowledge the sacrifice they made to achieve what they did – and how now they don’t want to work that hard anymore.

Organizational culture is like personal health: it’s your greatest asset and something you must intentionally focus on for a lifetime.

The Executives were inspired with what i thought was routine

Disney Leadership author jeff noel — To document the journey is not self-indulgent, it’s marketing, and cultural documentation for your company.

What i thought was routine inspired the executives.

i love helping C-Suite executives see the light.

My gift from 30 years at Disney is the ability to illuminate cultural architecture for world-class organizational vibrancy.

Think of the architecture as cultural blueprints.

Senior leadership has intentionally built in everything they need for corporate wellness.

A breathtaking boost to a writer’s passion and purpose

My writing received a breathtaking boost on every level. Knowing, which includes anticipating, when to get out of your comfort zone makes you a better leader – a better writer.

Not allowing my seven-plus year daily blogging streak to end, i found creative ways to blog daily.

It’s in the shipping that fear is conquered and confidence is grown.

This is a message that is painfully obvious and simple, but insanely challenging to embrace for a lifetime.
