How you do anything, work

Disney Institute Keynote Speakers
Old Disney Institute business card, circa 1999. Never dreamed, let alone thought about, being a public speaker. Ever. Hard stop. Since 1999 i’ve spoken to 1.25 million people. How is that possible?

How you see work (career) problems, work (career) challenges, work (career) opportunities, is how you see everything.

Does this matter?

Is it important?

Yes and yes.

How you see everything (with your career) is how you do everything.

How you see anything, work

A rare backstage look at how i begin to prepare for a speech…in this case, more than four months in advance.

Creativity.

Innovation.

They seem the same.

Yet they’re dramatically different.

Creativity is simply the generation of useful ideas in any domain.

Innovation is implementation.

The critical difference between creativity and innovation is that innovation demands changing or creating something that wasn’t possible before you did the work associated with a creative idea.

Ideas without implementation are simply ideas

Ideas without effort, worthless.

They swung back around. While walking yesterday, i was also watching the sky. This photo opportunity was over quickly. When you zoom in, it’s harder to keep the subjects in frame. Kinda a miracle these shots happened.

Different is better than better.

Can working be the manner?

It’s not too far fetched to think that working can be the manner in which we experience the entire day.

What is your Return on Leadership?

More specifically, what is your career ROL?

Is your over-focused, intentional investment in your work mindset providing the excellent career leadership vibrancy returns you originally envisioned?
