Broom or a pencil?

Flowers during a Finland trip. Same flowers you see in Glacier National Park.

In the past, jobs were about muscles, now they’re about brains, but in the future they’ll be about the heart.

Minouche Shafik, director, London School of Economics

i used to tell our son, now 19, that his future will revolve around which mindset he uses – a broom or a pencil?

One uses your body as your paycheck maker, the other uses your brain.

Manual labor or office job.

What Minouche is proposing is a radical third option.Thank you COVID-19 and Global Warming.

Got career joy?

Two fav Disney movies serendipitously featured in this Disney Cast Holiday card. UP, fav Pixar. Lion King, fav Disney animated. Mary Poppins, not shown, fav of all time.

Does the work you get to do trump the work you have to do? That’s what this post means.

Career leadership 201

Career leadership 201:

  • Put contribution ahead of pay
  • Love what you do
  • Live within your means
  • Continuously improve
  • Have fun
  • .think .differently
  • Lean into discomfort
  • Envision a future that’s not only better than now, but much better
  • Develop others
  • It is definitely about who you know – get to know a lot of people and the right people

The list goes on, which is why the next blog about personal organization is critical.

If Disney Ran Your Life is broad and deep

story board
As of February 12, 2019 this storyboard is the plan. This goes live April 12. We’ll see if we stayed true or detoured.

If Disney Ran Your Life is broad and deep.

This Podcast is one of the most fun, unpredictable, and rewarding experiences ever. Professionally, it ranks with starting a business in 2009, initiating the writing of 5 daily, differently-themed blogs (also in 2009), and retiring from Disney on Halloween in 2014. 

It does not rank as high as becoming a Disney professional speaker at Disney Institute in 1999. 

Why?

Podcasting is not a life-changer. But becoming a public speaker was. Until 1999, never knew i was born to teach.
