A simple and compelling analogy

Yesterday for lunch, homemade guacamole.

 

Literally everyone i meet struggles to offer clear, concise, and compelling answers to the most important questions facing their business.

My analogy is simple: business health and personal health are the same.

Business health and personal health are the same things.

How many Americans, including you, make your health a daily focus?

Why?

My favorite question while teaching at Disney Institute

We marvel at what this device does, and how much it costs.

 

My favorite question while teaching at Disney Institute?

So what?

 

Audiences marvel (mostly) at what Disney does and how Disney does it.

Disney Institute facilitators and consultants thrive on their personas, from being at the front of the room, constantly in the spotlight so to speak.

i however, felt it was a tragedy.

People get all hyped up about the what and the how – and all the Magic.

Then they arrive home and have no clue why we do what we do.

So i began antagonizing asking this question:

So what?

So what does any of this mean?

Are you going to build a tunnel under your organization like the Magic Kingdom?

Not what’s on your bookshelf

Disney books
i have not read them all. Some i have read twice. And, i have literally lived them all.

 

You are what you eat.

True?

Probably.

Think about your professional development.

Not what’s on your bookshelf, because all of us pad our shelves with great books we’ll never find time to read. Those great books sure look good sitting there, masquerading as part of our knowledge base.

But show me only the books you’ve consumed.

This hints at who you are.

Not a bad place to start.

However.

However, what really tells us who you are (and who i am) are the questions we ask – how much we care about mastery.

How much we care about our art.

Something we could write a book about.

And 99.9% of us will never do it.

What if we did?
