Next deadline (draft)

Disney Institute trainers
My final Super Bowl engagement was Super Bowl 48 in New York/New Jersey. This is part of our team rehearsing (and having some fun).
michelangelo quote
On an office door. .think .differently
quitting
Do want you want to do with your life. It’s your life. Balance is a moving target. You can quit or you can lean into discomfort.

We need starts and we need finishes.

One announces where we are going and why.

The other announces when we have arrived.

My next revolves around key themes:

  • Having fun
  • .thinking .differently
  • Leaning into discomfort

Go.

You have until January 1, 2021.

Two years is enough time, but only if you are focused and committed.

Initiative is gold

jeff noel Disney Speaker
A moment in time, capturing a marketing video location – Wild Goose Island on St Mary Lake. i’ve been sitting on a bunch of marketing videos. Why? Fear?

Initiative is gold.

Initiative is rare.

Initiative is one of life’s best teachers.

Initiative is scary.

So is regret.

Stop waiting.

Go.

Just go.

Heading north in a few days

Sand Hill crane
Exquisite architecture. Nature. In our front yard.

Heading north in a few days to spend a planned weekend at our Son’s college.

His college acceptance letter arrived mid-December and we’ve had four previous visits, including an overnight dorm room stay.

The five other smart and ambitious young men have not yet been accepted.

This is a stress for them that is challenging to comprehend.

While we are attending a Spring Campus weekend traditon, the others are missing this type of opportunity.

Being organized and committed can trump a highly-prized personal attribute like intellect.

Traditional metrics have merit.

So do non-traditional metrics.

Disney University and Jeff Noel University?

Disney University Seminars
Before Disney Institute was a place, our programs were held at and run by Disney University.

Disney University and Jeff Noel University?

Years ago Disney University (DU) hosted “Disney Institute (DI)” seminars. Had lunch at DU two days ago and told my lunch companion about this fact. It was so long ago that only a handful of people remember, and even fewer care.

However, the insight for me is how small and humbly DI was and what a force in the training and development world it is now.

So to think there could be a Jeff Noel University sounds crazy. Then again, maybe not.
