Are you excited enough about it to talk openly?

michelangelo quote
Yesterday at High School. Set the bar high when it comes to your death.

 

Are you excited enough about death to talk openly?

Isn’t this one of our responsibilities with our personal leadership – as CEO of You, Inc?

To be prepared.

Right?

We’ve learned to not talk about it – passed down from one generation to the next.

It’s like public speaking, it scares the heck out of everyone who’s not experienced with it.

Proverbial, and literally predictable “stick your head in the sand” life event.

You were born to learn, grow and teach

Disney leadership speaker
As CEO of YOU, Inc, your personal and professional development is your responsibility.

 

You were born to learn, grow and teach.

Develop yourself like you mean it.

No one else will do this for you after you turn 18.

What were you born to do?

Disney Keynote Speaker
Met neighbor’s new Boxer puppy.

 

Disney Keynote Speakers
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.

CEO of You, Inc.

Danger – codependency.

Obviously, life is hard.

It’s our job to figure it out.

The long way is the short cut.
