Lots of eyes on professional speakers, and copious opportunity for feedback

 

It’s remarkable how much we crave (and probably expect) feedback from others, especially those we work with.

If we did an inventory of how often we initiate and share the same with those we expect it from, who’s leading the way?

Us, or others?

Better be us, no?

It’s lonely isn’t it?

Do it anyway.

Imagine trying to find truth here

 

There is truth in the notion that you can’t be a prophet in your hometown.

It is often quicker to leave your organization, work elsewhere in a higher capacity (relative to your organization), and return to your original organization with a promotion that may never have happened otherwise.

It seems if someone else sees something in you that your original organization missed, now your original company is magically able to see it too.

It all started with a Mouse

Walt Disney World Sign with Walt Disney quote
The law of attraction, no?

 

January 25, 1982 was his first day working for The Walt Disney World Resort.

He was hired as an ‘Attractions Host’.

He didn’t know what that meant until he arrived in Florida (from Pennsylvania) and attended the company orientation program – Disney Traditions.

Later that day he was told his training would begin the very next day as a Jungle Cruise Skipper in Disney’s Magic Kingdom.

They told him him to introduce himself to the Guests as ‘Jungle Jeff’.

So he did.

True story.

And yes, it did all start with a Mouse.

One of the most liberating skill sets is to learn how to be okay with your learning curve when you start as a novice on a new thing, even though you are at the top of your profession.

You may quite possibly look like a fool.

But it won’t last long.

Because you’re that good.
