Habits and ambitions, work

disney keynote speaker Jeff Noel
Simple. Key. Repeatable. Transformational. Habits. You’re welcome.

Be ambitious.

Improve like you mean it.

Have fun like you mean it.

.think .differently like you mean it.

Lean into discomfort like you mean it.

Be curiously ambitious like you mean it.

You’re welcome.

Work ambitiously

Can anyone defend an opposite perspective?

Common sense isn’t common. Live your life as an exception.

You create your life’s habits by design or by default.

One is intentional, using focus and discipline.

One is unintentional, succumbing to happenstance and pleasure.

Remember, people hide their motives

Remember, people hide their motives.

This is especially true in the workplace.

Why?

People are trying to survive.

Getting ahead of others professionally is a great survival tactic.

Promotions and other work advancements generally equal higher pay.

Higher pay brings more buying power.

More buying power helps you survive better.

This is a generalization, and decently accurate based on my lifetime of observation.

Career moonshot

Learning about leap-frogging at Disney Institute.L-R: Jungle Jeff, Ernesto, Morocco Mike, Bryan, Rob C (walking away), Amy K, and unknown elbow-man.

Career moonshot…

To be a category of one who models personal leadership vibrancy.

Note: In a perfect world, you will become surrounded by personally vibrant people (starting with your family).

Ps. The world ain’t perfect. Don’t expect many personally vibrant people to fall from the sky. My vision is that someday they will.

Over-work

Didn’t overwork it today. Did 50% less miles than the previous bike ride.

Over-working is a badge of honor.

Over-work is what you need to do to move ahead.

Perhaps there’s some truth to this: Take breaking out of the chicken egg, if you’re a wanna-be newborn chicken.

Study the Herd.

Is that where you want to go?

If not, you know what you need to do.

Mostly the opposite.
