What’s the single biggest reason people get better at something?

We know this. And it applies to each of us, no matter our job or passion.

What’s the single biggest reason people get better at something? They try to get better. And try, and try, and try. Seriously, played around with different versions of a LinkedIn profile. Decided to save the drafts here before deleting them and starting over.

Don’t expect anyone to read them, just sharing the work in real time.

Revised LinkedIn profile Thanksgiving Day morning (11.28.13)… (third revision in 12 hours)…

Author of the brand new book that will put a dent in the Baby Boomer Universe, debuting Thanksgiving Day 2013. (To be crystal clear, the book is not about Disney, nor endorsed by Disney)

International professional speaker to a million people.

Bottom line, my goal is to see you reach yours.

I give speeches to change the world.

Never giving the same speech twice.

Transforming things using paradox, questions, and common sense.

Servant, husband, dad, son, brother, uncle, neighbor, leader, author, speaker, runner.

Aggressively unfancy.

I believe work is only work if you’d rather be doing something else, and that the work day begins the night before. Can’t wait for the alarm clock to go off every morning.

Allergic to most pollens, whiners, and mediocrity.

To be crystal clear (again) and not blur any lines, I speak full time for DisneyInstitute.com and entirely separately and entrepreneurially for MidLifeCelebration.com (the content is entirely different, completely separate, and never, ever interchangeable).

…..

It’s prudent to note that social media is embraced by great organizations. Why? Because customers have embraced social media, and great companies (large or small) embrace what the customer embraces.

Google destroys any notion of privacy. Authenticity is the new currency. Live your life so that if someone ever said anything bad about you, no one would believe it.

Live like you mean it.

Sooner or later it becomes crystal clear, life is not a dress rehearsal.

A thinker must think. A writer must write.

We know this. And it applies to each of us, no matter our job or passion.

Playing around with your LinkedIn profile is good for you

Lethbridge Bridge
This bridge is the largest railway structure in Canada and the largest of its type in the world.

 

Over the years, do we experiment with our bio, our resume?

Should we?

Why wouldn’t we?

But do we?

. . . . .

The original post written 100 days ago included a LinkedIn profile rough draft, and was too long, too self-centered.

This post was re-written last night, March 12, and the photo was from the day before that.

Why is this important?

Simply this, life is a process.

A process of continuous improvement.

Do you dream of there being a time for you when you walk without any fear?

Praise for Midlife Celebration, the book
Revisiting LinkedIn profile to make sure it speaks admirably

 

Do you dream of there being a time for you when you walk without any fear?

…

When we say Happy Thanksgiving, what do we really think we’re saying or imparting?

Going through the motions?

Or feeling grateful with every breath, every step? Living like you mean it?

November 28, 2013… Happy Thanksgiving…

We have come to know the true meaning of Thanksgiving Day when we learn to celebrate it everyday.

Right?

So what do we really want our LinkedIn profile to do for us?

And who even cares for a second how smart and experienced we are? There’s always going to be someone better.

If we’ve ever taken the time to read a bunch of profiles, they all say pretty much the same thing, “I’m so smart, I’m so smart, I’m so smart”.

And it’s true, people have amazing resumes.

And yet it begs the question, do they possess something so remarkable that they have elevated what they do to an art form?

Art.

Not paintings, sculpture, music, acting.

Art.

Different.

Thinking and doing brilliantly different.

Game changing.

Intense.

Inspiring.

That’s the type of speaker we want to listen to.

That’s the type of speaking remarkable speakers wake up driven to deliver.

www.MidLifeCelebration.com – World-class entrepreneurial content. MLC is on a mission to prove balance is not a myth. For example, how to use excuses, regrets, second chances, and permission to live with gratitude, forgiveness, joy, peace, and contentment in a world that is distracted, entertained, and medicated.

LinkedIn profile (retired) Thanksgiving Day 2013

Google jeff noel
Google your name and be amazed at what is revealed. Never heard of 1st & 3rd ones.

 

November 28, 2013… retired this long-standing LinkedIn profile. Time for a change.

And added Published Author to the resume.

Bottom line, my goal is to see you reach yours.

An organization’s greatest internal goal must provide daily inspiring outcomes for front line employees.

Because front line employees don’t go to work thinking, “How can I increase shareholder value today?”

But what if your employees voluntarily extended discretionary effort to your customers without additional pay? And what if they enjoyed it and took pride in surprising and delighting your customers?

What if your leaders behaved the same way towards their direct reports?

Magic?

Transformation?

I do what I do because souls need to be “seen” and hope needs to be “touched”.

And give speeches to change the world and never give the same speech twice.

Crazy busy, right?

Story of our lives.

Are you satisfied?

No seriously, Are you satisfied?

If you answered “Yes”, well, this probably means goodbye, if “No”, you may be onto something…

International professional speaker to a million people.

When I’m done, your audience will think so differently about common sense they’ll feel like their life (and your Company), moving forward, will never again be the same.

Sooner or later it becomes crystal clear. Life is not a dress rehearsal. So I’m here to remind you why today is not a good day to put your dreams on hold.

Mid Life Celebration is a catalyst for positive change and regret-free living and leading.

Energizing, inspiring, insightful, thought-provoking, and fun. The perfect speaker, really.

Modus operandi: If I tell your audience the answers they’ll never remember. If I help them figure it out themselves, they’ll never forget.

The unfair advantage is simply the engagement volume and variety over 14 years, and a million people.

 

Be well and remain amazed.

LinkedIn Profile Quick Tip

LinkedIn profiles.  How many have you read?  I’ve read a ton.

Please forgive me for saying this, “Most of them bore me to tears”. They all say essentially the same thing about the author, “I’m so smart, I’m so smart, I’m so smart”.

The intent, noble.  The result, boring.  Why?  Because they all sound the same. Without creativity, and without courage, we perform the status quo.

Who’s looking to hire status quo?  In today’s tough market, I’m guessing no one.

What prompted this post?  A couple days ago a LinkedIn connection said, “Yours is the best LinkedIn profile ever.  Interesting yet informative”.

Ok, so it’s just one person’s opinion, but it sure feels good to know the intent and the result aligned.
