7 1/2 reasons to adjust merit rating

Found this recently while deleting old email files/folders. The draft was sent by me, to me…in an effort to see it and sit on it before sending to my boss. DNB means “Do Not Bump”, the client has been guaranteed this speaker.

Subject: 7 1/2 reasons to adjust merit rating

You’ve heard the saying, “If you love something, set it free”.
Yes, and, “If you love something, protect it'”.
Right on track is not in my vocabulary, and it’s a moral obligation to appeal it.
It’s easier than ever, in these challenging times, to miss the brilliance in front of you.

1. No evals collected for Florida Hospital
2. Consistently DNB for clients, and requested by Consultant
3. Average 2 standing O’s per month
4. Profound mastery of content
5. Never complains
6. Always plays second chair to co-facilitator
7. My programs are real, and inspirational
7.5 Average is not in my vocabulary

Big Disney Keynote Speech tomorrow

Glacier Red Bus Tour — The yellow ribbons help hold the convertible top in place.

Big Disney Keynote Speech tomorrow.

The “local” Ritz Carlton.

My vision – from day one in 2008 – is to become an Orlando-based Disney Keynote Speaker.

Once our Son is in college, i’ll travel anywhere that’s safe.

We are one year away from that new speaking opportunity.

Meanwhile, i’m contemplating Africa and India at the moment – before college.

Chile is close to being definite.

Exciting times.

Great leaders at Disney develop more great leaders

What do you see when you stop looking at what you habitually look at?

What do you notice on the floor of a barely ever used side porch.

That’s a stunning, and tiny, yellow.

These stones were gathered from the surrounding ground.

The logs were gathered from the surrounding area.

The wind brought this plant here. It’s fairly tiny as well.

Backig up just a little, for perspective.

Backed up just a little more, for more perspective.

Leaders get work done through other people.

The best Disney leaders are noticers.

These same leaders also do one more thing well, they develop more noticers.

Insight: Noticers tap into the creative and collective power of their frontline employees to make extraordinary improvements at little to no cost.

Improvements that scale, and transform.

In Disney terms, this is how i define grit

In Disney terms, this is how i define grit…

Focus and discipline.

Focus on the basics.

Discipline yourself to never get bored with the basics.

Ridiculously simple.

Incredibly difficult.

Until it’s not.

Culture is the collective behavior of an entire organization.

Habits.
