Could be one of my blind spots

Logan Pass — 2016 GNP college buddy Dave.

Don’t know if it will last because it’s not my habit, but i’m consciously trying something new.

Rather than send emails as i write them, which happens seven days a week, from 5 AM to 10 PM, i’m not.

i’m holding the weekend and after-hours emails in draft format until the next available and traditional office hour arrives.

Sensing that not everyone is as driven or focused.

Could be one of my blind spots.

There aren’t any world-class excuses to justify not changing

inspirational saying — The other day at Office Depot while buying an office chair, i noticed a shopping bag. The message: i believe it’s possible every single day if you are intentional.

Cultural transformation is challenging because everyone agrees that positive change is not only recommended but smart.

Just because it’s a smart thing to do doesn’t mean it will get done.

Especially if it requires a different routine and habit than we’re used to.

At the end of the day, there aren’t any world-class excuses to justify not changing.

How did Uber become a thing?

Uber choices — Quickly learned you have choices.

Uber app map — Delightfully surprised to learn you see where your driver is relative to your location.

Uber receipt — Loved the automatic email with receipt.

How did Uber become a thing?

The people and the organizations that live out each day “based on possibility” seem to get better when they do one thing others don’t do:

They ask better questions.

My Uber driver shared with me (because i asked a better question) that Uber originally began as a black car (limo-type) service in San Francisco. It was not some grand change-the-world revelation. But it kept evolving.

Daring to venture into uncharted territory happens one small step at a time.

Uber has a history.

It’s a slow and steady history that was written one small, radical-departure-decision-from-status-quo at a time. One “better question” at a time.

Questions based on possibility.

Our two weapons to defend ourselves from fear

Disney Keynote Speaker — Lavalier microphones: the more there are the harder it is to manage. Same with writing seven Disney Business books.

The thing about fear and doubt is that we always have two weapons to defend ourselves.

Creativity.
Change.

We make our plans for a future state.

But the future is unknown.

Please take the initiative to launch, learn, revise, repeat.

Try something.

Revise it as necessary.

Relaunch the new change.

Keep repeating until done.

(We are never done.)

Excited to try something i’ve never done before.

A chip off the old Walt Disney block.

My favorite question while teaching at Disney Institute

We marvel at what this device does, and how much it costs.

My favorite question while teaching at Disney Institute?

So what?

Audiences marvel (mostly) at what Disney does and how Disney does it.

Disney Institute facilitators and consultants thrive on their personas, from being at the front of the room, constantly in the spotlight so to speak.

i however, felt it was a tragedy.

People get all hyped up about the what and the how – and all the Magic.

Then they arrive home and have no clue why we do what we do.

So i began ~~antagonizing~~ asking this question:

So what?

So what does any of this mean?

Are you going to build a tunnel under your organization like the Magic Kingdom?
