Bank on your work history

Parenting. Ultimate leadership role. Thank you Disney and Disney Institute for making me a better leader – Disney business wisdom prepared me to learn how to be an intentional dad.

Bank on your work history.

What got you to career vibrancy is remarkable.

Bank on it.

Ignore the critics.

Fix or avoid the leak?

Leadership is obligated to create a future that’s not only better than now, but much better than now.

You are the CEO of You, Inc.

You can fix the roof after a leak starts.

Or…

You can fix the roof before a leak starts.

Same with your health.

Shit my dad did

Father and son at beach sunset
Sanibel Island every year of your life, so far.

Shit my dad did (high-level highlights):

Wrote me a book as a “Life Guide” in case something bad ever happens to him and he’s not around to answer my questions.

Wrote me five daily, differently-themed blog posts, as a real life, real time life guide.

Recorded for me a 100-episode podcast (If Disney Ran Your Life) about personal vibrancy.

Took me and my mom to Sanibel every year of my life. At 13, we started going every Summer to Glacier.

Demonstrated how to have personal vibrancy in all five of life’s most important choices: mind, body, spirit, work, home. These five are the same topics in the book, the blogs, and the podcast.

(Still in my Son’s voice) The list is literally endless, but I’ll end on this one…from the time I was three years old until I graduated High School, my dad insisted on an habitual at-school, after-school (at pick-up time) bear hug. Never missed a day. There was no bus and I didn’t have a car.

What is your desired Organizational accomplishment level?

Three flip charts for brainstorming
Brainstorming.

This post is a repeat of today’s first post. Why? Repetition helps us learn.

Do the reps.

From this short list, pick the level number you desire for your Organizational Vibrancy, using a 5k runner analogy:

  1. Olympic Gold
  2. Olympic podium
  3. Olympic finals
  4. Olympic Team USA, qualify
  5. Olympic Trials, qualify
  6. Nationals Gold
  7. Nationals podium
  8. Nationals finals
  9. Nationals, qualify
  10. College Varsity Team

Can make this list more nuanced, and definitely add more layers. But want to stop at 10 general layers.

Note the obvious difference in common sense effort, dedication, and motivation required to jump from one level up to the next.

And the jump from level 10 to level one is exponential.
