Less impressive

Weird thought… i’m tired of feeling like i have to impress business people.

Why?

It’s tiring.

It’s boring.

Does my resume speak for itself?

Does my example speak for itself?

How did you not see that?

mobile view of webpage
How did you not see that? Immediately added an “a”.
list of 17 items
How do leaders not see these?

How did you not see that missing “a”, jeff?

Everyone else sees it the first time they see (read) it. i’ve read it dozens of times.

So me not seeing the missing “a” is remarkable because i’m the only one who doesn’t see it. Everyone else sees it. How can they not?

But i saw it yesterday. Finally.

Was prompted to re-read my junglejeff.com website copy after talking with a Disney leader yesterday.

Now let’s return to the other part of my thinking this through, after reading not only the page i added the “a” to, but one of the last pages on my JungleJeff.com website…

As i read the list of 17 (second photo above) it dawned on me immediately–no one is thinking about nor asking about these 17.

So most everyone* not seeing anything from the “list of 17” is remarkable because i’m literally the only one who sees it. Basing this assumption from extensive research (since joining Disney Institute in 1999) inside 2,000+ organizations.

*The know is to do. To know and not do is to not yet know. (final answer)

Disney group photo

Only two folks i had never met before. Cheryl and i worked directly with many and indirectly with the rest. Ps. “Mickey and Minnie”, back row center.

Active and retired.

Once Disney, always Disney.

Always.

Ps. It’s a lifestyle choice. You don’t realize it in the beginning. It’s possible to go unnoticed during your career. But once you leave and look back, it’s totally a lifestyle choice.

Happy winter 2024, work

Winter began 24 hours ago. Let’s think about how we traditionally tee up our winters…

Ever think of yourself as a professional artist?

If yes, why?

If no, why?

Let’s assume a few things:

  1. Artists are different than the others who do the same thing
  2. Artists offer something few others (if anyone) offers
  3. Artists gravitate to being “better”
  4. An artist’s best chance is to be different rather than better

We become what we think about.

Intentionally or unintentionally.

Can you imagine the difference between the two approaches?
