College Weekend, Work – Sunday

Utterly unremarkable. And simultaneously significant. Heading to St James Cathedral, downtown Orlando. Ubering there as soon as i land. A suit and tie awaits.

Your supreme leadership challenge is to lead yourself.

What singular metric steers you?

Me?

Easy.

Personal vibrancy.

Tiering up to personal vibrancy is the interconnectedness of…

Mental vibrancy.

Physical vibrancy.

Spiritual vibrancy.

Career vibrancy.

Home vibrancy.

All five are non-negotiable.

Hard stop.

Most people can’t tell the difference. Disney people can.

Many speeches cover exactly what you expect. Meeting expectations (customer/parent satisfaction) is dangerous.

Will likely walk three loops around campus. Most colleges sleep in. It is so peaceful the first two hours of the day.

The day is won in the morning. The morning is won the night before.
