Dear Son, when you look back on these years, may you find the constant lessons you received from me remarkably helpful. And may you smile from the keen understanding that the lessons were from action, not theory.

Completing the packing yesterday for a trip that begins tomorrow means that today the traveler doesn’t need to worry about packing.

A brief, simple call yesterday, even though i have a Four Seasons Denver confirmation number, provides a peace of mind that was easy to guarantee.

Small actions demonstrate personal leadership more than any book full of theories.

We know this

Disney Executive Keynote Speaker — Mickey Mouse statue at Disney Event Group, yesterday, March 16, 2015.

Excellence is a habit, created by what we repeatedly do.

We know this.

And here’s the harsh reality.

To know is to do. To know and not do, is to not yet know.

And by excellence, what’s implied here is balance, wellness, personal responsibility in all five of life’s big choices: mind • body • spirit •work • home.

The paradox of creativity

Disney Leadership Keynote Speakers — Second round of rough drafts completed yesterday.

If fear is our enemy to being creative. Then creativity is the antidote for fear.

Nothing slays fear like action.

Failure is progress.

Inaction is not progress.

It really is this simple.

Fear fades away like a distant memory.

Doing business differently. — Paying in advance and double her going rate.

Paying in advance and double her fee seems as natural as breathing. Fear, not lack of creativity, keeps this from being a common business practice.

Action may not always bring happiness; but there is no happiness without action. – Benjamin Disraeli

The thing with quotes like this is they inspire us for a moment, and we think, “Yeah, damn right”.

And then some shiny thing catches our attention (again).

Know what I mean?

Is there a bridge from common sense to action?

Last night had a flashback to 18 months ago at work.

That moment when you wanted to be in bed 30 minutes ago because you’re spent, but kept feeding on Internet inspiration… and came to a realization…

You packed up all your meager belongings and drove from Washington State to Orlando to work for a Man and a Mouse….

And it’s now been 30 years at Walt Disney World Resort, including the past 15 speaking to over one-million people…

How’d that happen?
