Reliable career mediocrity.

Where you work determines the DNA of your business approach.

Mediocre gets as mediocre does. Excellence gets as excellence does.

An odd number of light bulb sockets presented a problem challenge for Disneyland. A creative Cast Member tried a remarkably inexpensive and creative idea. It worked.

You see it right?

Visited SunTrust first, Magic Kingdom second

What does a small business entrepreneur who’s worked for over six years with no revenue do after experiencing a catalytic career milestone?

Think Super Bowl ending cliche…

“I’m going to Disney World!”

First stop, the original Walt Disney World Corporate Headquarters before Team Disney was opened in 1991, to thank his wife for her support. Then on to Disney’s Magic Kingdom Theme Park (clock tower shows 12:20pm) for a perfectly timed viewing of the Disney Festival of Fantasy Parade and lunch at Columbia Harbour House.

Next stop a trip where it all began on January 25, 1982. And on the walk to Adventureland, a nice chat with a Walt Disney World Research Cast Member.

On the walk out, a chance meeting with the Mayor, who’s campaign slogan is “Pull the lever, vote for Weaver.”

Are you prostituting your soul for your career ambitions?

Disney Leadership Speakers
Yesterday in the middle of a great discussion.

 

The two-day session was designed to help management Consultants. We talked briefly about Mid Life Celebration. Everyone in the room said they could benefit from the message of being responsible for becoming either a great example or a glaring warning to the people we love and care about, simply by the way we live our lives.

Shelly (pictured above) spoke of the “career prostitution”, the habitual commitment to do work that doesn’t feed our sense of authenticity. A commitment that poisons our soul.

She left the corporate grind to start an organization that helps single Moms in desperate need.

Holy cow this is amazing

Inspiring Facebook update

 

(photo: It is in the giving that we receive. The long way is the shortcut.)

Do you follow someone with a title or someone with courage?

The weirdest thing yesterday was removing the Disney Institute engagements from the Apple personal calendar for November, December and January.

Weirder still is entering new engagements in their place for Mid Life Celebration.

Holy cow this is amazing.
