Remembering to pay it forward

Pixar Soul image
Loved this movie. Loved yesterday’s premier of Lightyear. Tell a story with your life, if necessary, use words.

Remembering to pay it forward.

What?

Remembering to gift the future with remarkable hope.

The same remarkable hope others gifted me across my six decades.

People ask me if i get nervous before speaking

Disney Leadership Keynote Speakers
Less than a week ago i was nervous about hiking alone. Mostly because the trails aren’t crowded.

 

People ask me if i get nervous before speaking.

Yes.

But not about speaking.

i get nervous about making a difference.

Will what i profess be bright enough to shine on the darkest places in each individuals soul.

Will they be touched in a way they’ve never felt before?

Will they see in a way they’ve never seen before?

Will they think in a way they’ve never thought before?

And finally…

Will they hope in a way they’ve never hoped before?

What’s a great strategy but a poor tactic?

Possible corporate logo? It appeals to the karma of blueprints.

 

Left yesterday’s lunch disappointed.

Also left a little wiser.

My gut was right. She’s not mature enough, nor even remotely experienced enough to be a trusted and valued partner.

i had high hopes.

The naïveté in her responses, her demeanor, and her belief system – all of it, sadly, is not going to survive my expectations and the karma required.

Our age difference is two full decades. That, in and of itself, is irrelevant in my book. However, having always worked for herself since college, she has zero experience in a corporate setting.

All my clients are corporate.

All my content is architected to transform the way corporate leaders, corporations, and entire industries think.

When leaders and teams .think .differently they increase their odds that they may create positive change.

Anyone i associate with who isn’t 110% committed to making our World a better place won’t work.

i had high hopes.

Hope is a great strategy but a poor tactic.

Dear hope

Disney Leadership author jeff noel
Yesterday, a Sunday, at Disney Springs. Nothing fancy. The Disney trash can made it easy to not be a trip hazard.

The glamor of being a Disney author and speaker.

 

Dear hope,

While hope is a great strategy in business, it is a poor tactic.

Strategy is a decent plan.

Tactics make the plan a reality.

Hope is not a tangible tool, like a building, committed staff, or proprietary intellectual property.

From theory to Magic

Noticed this today.

 

Florida insect shedding
Closer inspection revealed only a shell. Can you imagine how challenging shedding that must be?

 

From theory to Magic.

Provide hope where it’s elusive.

Impossible seems so real.

Until someone guides you past it.
