Mirror of my lifetime, work

What do i see in the mirror of my lifetime at work?

Mowing lawns.

Raking leaves.

Shoveling snow.

During high school, two summers in the warehouse where my mom worked. Minimum wage, 1975-76.

College, two summers working seven days a week, shift work (7am-3pm, 11pm-7am graveyard, 3-11pm).

Construction…bartending…odd jobs.

Then like 30 years at Walt Disney World.

And 11 years as a small business owner.

Review: From small-town kid to highly paid keynote speaker. How in the heck did that happen?

Where’s humility’s place in the workplace?

Like literally every question i got at Disney Institute (1999-2014), the answer begins with, “It depends.”

Depends on what?

Context.

Bonus challenge: How many different answers would we get if we asked any 100 people anywhere, “What’s humility?”
