Where is your shop?

Glacier National Park — Ever dream of being a National Park Ranger? Where? Did you want to retire from it?

Where is your shop?

Shop is metaphorical for work.

Every generation experiences a major disruption during their career.

Some form of technological advancement changes the way work (and life) gets done.

The current digital age isn’t disruptive to the generation growing up with it.

It’s disruptive to everyone else who’s become comfortable (and complacent) with the status quo.

Note to self – there is never a time when we can coast and expect to not get left behind.

At work.

At home.

Why isn’t there Speaker footage of Disney Institute Speakers?

Have a look at Disney Institute’s You Tube channel and you’ll see right away there are no “Highlight reels” of individual Disney Institute Keynote Speakers.

It’s very intentional by the way.

Why?

Because Disney Institute (DI) is selling content, not speakers.

The speakers are simply the conduit for the main purchase – the world-famous business content.

i approach it the same way.

It’s also worth being cognizant of this – when you book DI, you get whatever speaker is most available.

This could be a newer person to Disney, a new person to speaking, or a retired person who speaks part-time.

When you hire me, you get a 30-year Disney Leadership veteran – including 15 years speaking full-time for DI.

i’m not even going to mention some of the remarkable Disney accolades i received in those 30 years. It would sound boastful.

At the risk of antagonizing LinkedIn trolls

LinkedIn update comment — Click bait? Could be intentional. Might be unintentional. Doesn’t matter. It’s our choice as to what we do.

The question in the photo above had me thinking. But i resisted the urge to reply.

Why?

The first thought was i shouldn’t give away my proprietary approach.

So i left.

Then i started to think about using my answer as today’s blog post material.

So i went back.

But hesitated again.

Why?

Trolls.

The second time around i wasn’t going to give the proprietary answer, but rather, insert intrigue – but only in a reply to a commenter, my friend Fernando.

You know, some reply that claims i know, and the bold statement i could get it in under 10 minutes – rather than observe a two-hour meeting.

Note: Give me one minute, individually with the CEO and each of her eight (educated guess) cabinet members and with one question, i’ll know in under 10 minutes.

i changed my perspective, and this flooded my gratitude

Opened the new Apple Watch 3 five days ago.

Steve Jobs died this day (October 6) in 2011.

We are so lucky to have had him in our lives as long as we did.

Rather than mourn the loss, i’ve learned to embrace the gift.

The gift is learning to default to counting the blessings of how long you got to have someone or something in your life.

Rather than mourn the loss, rejoice in how long you had together.

Walt Disney’s last filmed appearance October 27, 1966

Walt Disney’s last filmed appearance was October 27, 1966.

It was not the EPCOT video as we previously thought.

Forty-nine days later, Walt took his last breath.
