Long day and look back

5-second video: Last year’s (above) and this year’s room is the same. In 24 hours, we’ll see if they look the same.

Long day and look back.

Emptied out storage unit.

Everything back in dorm room.

At that point, we called it a day.

The 2021 video above is from the same room he has this year.

Screen shot from a random LinkedIn post. Theory is that money is not what drives employee loyalty.

You will have leaders throughout your life.

Parents, teachers, healthcare, peers, internships, trips, employment, community, etc.

There’s a range of how we lead and how we feel we are being led:

  1. Poor
  2. Just ok
  3. Good
  4. Very good
  5. Excellent

Learn from all categories.

Learn what is excellent and why.

Learn what is not excellent and why.

Mold yourself into a great personal vibrancy leader.

The first leadership victory is with self.

Have fun.

Disney is Fanatical about it’s purpose. Make people so happy so they return often and tell others. Photo: LinkedIn screenshot of some Disney curator’s post.

Simplicity is operational genius.

Bob Iger led with three priorities:

  1. Creativity
  2. Technology
  3. Globalization

Deconstruct Bob’s priorities…

  1. Creativity is Disney’s DNA
  2. Technology is the way for everything
  3. Sell more stuff, to more people, more often

Let’s deconstruct one more level down:

  1. Creativity is the environment
  2. Tech is the tool
  3. Profit is the reward/goal

Senior Year Day 1, work

Didn’t see a career change coming from a single 1999 phone call. No one saw Covid-19, a 2020 microbe, disrupting the entire world’s normalcy.

Senior Year Day 1, work…

Remember, i was 40 before a serendipitous phone call led me to what i was born to do.
