Does leadership get better?

 

(note: this post was written 100 days ago on March 20, and edited this morning)

A new era of leadership begins for many people.

Working at Walt Disney World for 30 years, my number of gay and lesbian friends is countless. Today’s youth are so much luckier to be growing up in today’s more open and accepting world than my colleagues in the video.

Batter up

Disney Management Consultant
Yesterday.

 

Everything begins with personal leadership. Life is so incredibly challenging. And we are both broken, and beautiful. We hope, we doubt. We triumph, we fail.

The circle of life.

One day, one moment at a time.

Keep swinging for the fence.

Self employed sounded so lame

Less than 24 hours ago the substitute dental hygienist (filling in) asked, “What do you?”

Only the second day into retirement no one had asked this question yet so there was no thought about an elevator speech.

So it sounded like this, “Self-employed.”

Ha.

Whenever you see a successful business, someone once made a courageous decision.
– Peter Drucker

Add another to-do to the checklist – craft compelling elevator pitch.

And check one off – make a courageous decision.

Getting around people who are doing what you are thinking about doing

A quote with a paradox

 

(photo: Perfect? What is perfection? Perhaps it is a sense of legitimate balance)

Getting around people who are doing what you are thinking about doing makes your first steps less scary.

That’s one of the benefits of Mid Life Celebration’s five daily blogs on balance.

If you hang out with people who say balance is BS, guess what?

If you desire a different approach, get closer to people who do it differently.

(how is that possible?)

Christmas day in front of the tree
Four-plus months later, he has yet to read the book (how is that possible?)

 

Imagine a great group of coaches. Coaches successful at helping others fix their work culture.

And then ask the coaches if they use the same principles they preach in their own internal work group.

Imagine the response.

The obvious answer is ‘yes, absolutely’. But imagine the obvious answer not being the answer.

Now imagine asking jeff noel if his son has read the book, Mid Life Celebration. It was released eight months ago.

The answer would appear to be obvious.

In both cases, what if the the answer included…

Nothing is as it appears to be. -Albert Einstein

In one case, the results are not intentional.

In the other, leadership is using patience as strength.
