Indecent, work

sign reading leave no trace — The best way to leave no trace of indecency is to be committed to decency.

How does something or someone get labeled (defined) indecent?

Miriam Webster dictionary defines indecent here.

Summarized, “grossly improper or offensive”.

Personally, i feel indecent (grossly improper) when i do not focus on creative risk-taking, .thinking .differently, leaning into discomfort, and having fun. So, long ago, i committed to only doing the good, ‘grossly proper’ things.

Expectations, work

bead jar jeff noel — So much commitment, discipline, vision, and forethought. Why put 936 children’s necklace beads into a jar and remove one every weekend for 18 years (936 weekends)? A personal expectation with myself as a first-time father.

Why are expectations important to share with the people you care about?

Expectations are life-context.

Context is king.

Without context (expectations clarity) any relationship is poisoned.

Leaders shouldn’t peddle poison.

It’s a dangerous, unhealthy life.

The opposite of Leadership vision.

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.

Small talk, holiday version, work

Professional Text thread — From my extensive research, most cannot rattle off their priorities (in priority order).

So, how was 2024?

So, what are your plans for next year?

Are you satisfied with both answers?

College Weekend, Work – Saturday

7-second video: Parent’s perspective.

5-second video: President’s perspective.

College auditorium — 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.
