Career turbulence

Vision is seeing a future not only better than now, but much better than now.

The quality of your life is from the quality of your contribution to society.

If you are a stay-at-home mom (or dad), your contribution is to your partner, and child(ren).

The quality of their lives ripple out in a similar fashion as the ripples you sent to them.

Disney trains onstage behaviors

Disney Keynote Speaker Jeff Noel
Santiago, Chile.

Disney’s onstage concept is transferable to real life.

dad

Disney taught me on day one that onstage behavior has to look like you are 100% invested in being right there in that moment.

As if there’s no other place you’d rather be right now than helping the Guest in front of you.

This is an easy standard to deliver on all-day, every day.

Yes and, there’s an exception to everything (except death and taxes).

The exception happens when you are being overwhelmingly challenged to stay in character and play the part of a world-class Disney Cast Member.

The challenges a Cast Member encounters are unlimited.

Spent 30 years excelling at staying in character and playing the part. It was easy for me. Like breathing. No effort whatsoever.

Only three times in 30 years did i have to ask a Guest to check out of my Resort and vacate WDW Property.

So now, with GoDaddy, it’s like riding a bike.

i remain patient (and peaceful) for an unencumbered resolution.

And, i look forward to being wrong about the fishy smell.

Remarkable migration

Your major motivation strategy is to be proactive, not reactive.

dad

Make mistakes in life.

Then learn to make fewer mistakes.

Apply what you learn, at scale.

Work patience?

Be patient. Your over-focused daily habits will grow you positive career results.

dad

There is no certain path for discovering what you are born to do.

i stumbled onto what i was born to do in my early 40’s.

But it wasn’t until my mid-to-upper 40’s that i recognized it as a truth.

Some people i know never discover their ‘purpose’.

Your purpose, to be clear, is what doesn’t feel like work. Your purpose feels like you get to do it.

Death cleaning at work

17-second video: As the camera zooms in, how does it make you feel?

A career that owns you is as toxic as cluttered rooms.

dad

You either own your career or your career owns you.
