College Weekend, Work – Saturday

5-second video: President’s perspective.

Will there be a full-house? Will there be great story-telling? Will i/we be inspired?

People who habitually prepare make it look easy. People who habitually wing it also make it look easy.

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

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

Leadership’s role?

Zooming in you see the speaker size. Serious sound and bass producing capacity.

Here’s an important context: Orange County Code allows 60dB acceptable noise level. Anything above that constitutes disturbing the peace. The DJ’s PA system and his music speakers (two separate noise sources) easily over 100dB.

The second important contextual point: Have been speaking to the Church staff and Leadership for over a year. This is a critical note – based on the sound level and duration, there appeared to be a complete disregard for Orange County Code enforcement standards.

One simple question.

Why?

Because yesterday was an absolute heinous noise violation.

Heinous.

Completely avoidable.

Totally forgiven.

So…

Begging this question to Church leadership: What noise guidelines have you established with your campus activities team?

Noise guidelines may be the key to a mutually beneficial environment.

We will eventually arrive at a solution.

We are good, decent, respectful, loving people.

And, as all Americans should be, law-abiding citizens.

Easy peasy.

Be great at the extra inch

Habitually doing seemingly insignificant things is the essence of going the extra inch.

Truth and consequences

Unhappiness is best defined as the difference between our talents and our expectations.

A shared vision

performing a traceroute
Two nights ago, and an hour on the GoDaddy Tech support line, we did a Traceroute – IP Address related -and yesterday life in WordPress is back to normal. The web speed in WordPress felt like what a compound fracture must feel like in the wilderness.

A simple question, “What’s our vision?”, has the power to transform people, a department, an organization, an industry, the world.

What’s my vision with this Executive client?

A shared vision:

We work together to make our world a better place.

We work together in a rare, glorious, remarkable way that inspires great ideas and great people to do work that accomplishes great things, impossible things.

None of this will fly, however, if i want it more than you do.

The simple question is this, “Do you want it more than i do?”
