What an executive resource always does

.think .differently keynote slide
The answer when i’m asked, “What’s my superpower?”

What an executive resource always does:

Always asks why is your vision important.

Always asks how bad do you want it, and why.

Always asks what are you willing to do to achieve it.

Always uses questions, common sense, and paradox.

Always uses personal stories, activities, and discussion.

Always has fun.

What can only you do?

one of Jeff noel's blog posts
Retiring 10 years early from Disney to start my own business (in 2014) eventually revealed to me this insight.

“We don’t do these things because we’re Disney, we’re Disney because we do these things.” –jungle jeff

Balance is a myth. Says who?

“i don’t do these things because i’m lucky. i’m lucky because i do these things.’ -jungle jeff

When you create space for yourself to spend all your time doing what only you can do, ‘Magic’ happens.

Do these leadership reps please

motivational quote about motivation
The aspects of things most important are hidden because of their simplicity and familiarity.

Do these “Executive, let’s get started” leadership reps please. Metaphorically work on form before adding weight:

  1. Hang 3 pics in your office: your customers serving their customers, your employees serving your customers, original business building ‘founder’s garage’ photo.
  2. Drive speed limit for one week
  3. Start day on knees 1st thing (one minute every morning)
  4. 30 mins professional development, 5x/week
  5. Solicit ‘extra-inch’ culture story from each cabinet member weekly
  6. Share one ‘extra-inch’ culture story in every town hall mtg
  7. Have someone compile every ‘extra-inch’ culture story
  8. Create extra-inch’ culture stories viewing area (use multiple, diverse, redundant methods)
  9. Lunch with front line employee(s) 1x/week
  10. lol minimum 1x/daily at work
