Why being a high achiever isn’t enough

Highline Trail
Highline Trail, mid-morning July 30, 2017. Visited three times in 2017. Five trips planned for 2018. High achiever? Definitely. On a mission.

 

High achiever?

It’s never enough to be good at your job.

To be a leader, you have to be on a mission.

Culture, culture, culture, blah, blah, blah

Disney Customer Service Speakers
Moment in time…2013.

 

Without searching for this stuff, i (we all do) get exposed to it and often read the first bits to see if it excites me.

This culture article didn’t excite me, but it was intriguing so i read it all.

Throughout, to my trained ear, it sounded inflated.

Small business owners, especially those without a big name credibility anchor (like Disney, Apple, Google), must resort to wordsmithing messages that desperate C-Suite executives find alluring.

Kinda like the snake-oil salesman of the 1800’s.

i get it.

The world is a tough place to make a living.

And every “consulting” business that charges money to help organizations change their culture is vying for the CEO’s attention and a signed contract.

Make it sound amazing (and different from the others) or you don’t stand a chance.

Love when an intentional system is scalable.

Yesterday’s photos with Disney Characters at Castaway Cay was an example of me over-focusing on the same things i used to under-focus on or ignore.

Did character group shots as well as individual shots.

Very intentional.

Professionally at Disney’s Castaway Cay 8:30am – 4:45pm.

Yesterday included several Disney movies including a personal favorite, UP.

Humbled at our Family Disney bloodline and how Disney principles have shaped our lives.

Disney storytelling is exceptional.

On occasion, our (Disney) storytelling is exceptional.

UP is exceptional storytelling.

And UP is semi-biographical for us.

And time always marches on…

After the community deck time, and during the second walk, the Disney art captured my spirit.

Excellence is a habit.

And it all started (for us) with a Mouse.
