Imagine the highs and lows of personal leadership

Top three 2015 Windermere 5k finishers. The guy in glasses is Windermere’s Mayor.

 

Left to right, first place, Mayor Gary, second, and third.

First and second were one second apart.

The third place finisher, Andrew, got beat last year by this year’s 50-59 winner.

After 1,100 seconds, imagine losing the coveted, overall winner spot by only one.

And then imagine an extraordinary, nearly three minute improvement from your time the previous year – that’s what Andrew accomplished.

Or take the 55-year old, running a time faster than he had set as a goal, and faster than when he was 10 years younger.

Leadership covets results.

It’s not the Magic that makes it work, it’s the work that makes it Magic.

Why time stamp these posts? Why are they 100 days old?

Orlando based motivational speaker, jeff noel, is the Grateful Dead of blogging.

Most people don’t get the Dead’s music. But some do. And the ones who do, enjoy a very special connection that others aren’t interested in.

Besides that, the writing here isn’t to create a following, it’s to create a ruckus.

Starting with the person typing these very words.

Is there a bridge from common sense to action?

Last night had a flashback to 18 months ago at work.

That moment when you wanted to be in bed 30 minutes ago because you’re spent, but kept feeding on Internet inspiration… and came to a realization…

You packed up all your meager belongings and drove from Washington State to Orlando to work for a Man and a Mouse….

And it’s now been 30 years at Walt Disney World Resort, including the past 15 speaking to over one-million people…

How’d that happen?

Do well-seasoned business leaders have any room left for transformation?

Difficult, but not impossible, to transform a free-spirited wild horse

 

Why are professional speakers entrusted to share world class, business concepts in a transformational style?

What exactly is a transformational style?

And why should they be entrusted?

And does an audience of well-seasoned business leaders have any room left in their psychological portfolio for transformation?

These are questions that have adaptability to any person, doing any type of work.

Even if your main role is stay-at-home-Mom (do teens have any room left for transformation?).

Will anyone complain if we make things easier to understand?

Quote about insight
Insight allows you to see things that others may miss (Physician’s x-ray lab wall)

 

No one will complain if the teacher makes things easier to understand. Not the audience anyway.

But folks that think more is more, folks that are much less prone to refining, and folks that have incredible disparity between what they teach and what they do in real life – they will be the first to complain of an excellent teacher’s methods.

And so it goes.
