What were you born to do?

Artemus is the epitome of joy. My teaching is designed and delivered to be the epitome of hope.

 

Can you answer the following question? Yes.

What were you born to do? Teach.

If you aren’t aware yet, take your time but don’t wait. Ok. It took 40 years to finally discover my purpose.

Have you already discovered your purpose in life? Yes, in 1999. i was 40.

How did it feel when you answered your calling? The catalyst was a 1999 Disney Institute (DI) Business Programs Facilitator job offer, and, becoming a parent in 2000. By the way, i never wanted to be a DI speaker.

What was life like before that time? It felt good, but by comparison to today, it was status quo, going through the motions, sleep-walking through life. i had insidiously carved a deep rut into what had originally begun as “finding my groove in life”, somewhere in my early 30s. i was blindly ambitious and inadequate at seeing my many blinds spots.

What do you dislike about teaching? The reality that you can’t be a prophet in your hometown.

What do you love about teaching?  The reality that i provide a catalytic opportunity for people and organizations to transform.

Here are common challenges you will/are/did face on your life’s journey:

  • The change might surprise you.
  • The change might not work.
  • There are no short cuts.
  • You might be able to see a different way forward.
  • Change, generally, is uncomfortable and unwelcomed.
  • This puts a lot of pressure on you to keep doing the safe thing – status quo.

The awkward and correct answer is “no”

Texting and driving
This used to be me. Phone in hand in busy rush hour traffic. Texting and driving. Photo: Less than 24 hours ago at a 30-lane intersection near Interstate 4 and Universal Studios. Also two blocks from my gym. There is a car seat in back too, but it was empty.

 

The awkward and correct answer is “no”.

Tough love.

Danger – codependency.

Obviously, life is hard.

It’s our job to figure it out.

The long way is the short cut.

College admissions presentation
Last night at the College Admissions presentation. All four panelists are College Admissions Directors. The University of Moscow Director was absent due to a canceled flight.

 

When you least expect it, personal responsibility has a growth spurt.

Last night, i observed many parents taking notes, but only one student.

Trying to fit a mold is dangerous

quote
Yeah but, i don’t want to ruin my chances for a promotion.

 

Big company or small company, the internal competition for promotion is relative.

Bad moves are remembered well.

So don’t ever make any, right?

You know, play it safe.

You can let loose and be yourself when you retire.
