No time for lunch in the past 30 years?

No.

Not in the past 30 years did Cheryl and i have lunch together. Countless dinners at Disney, but never lunch. Why? The pace is fast at Disney. Outsiders have no idea.

We also did not have lunch together a few days ago after the first paying, post Disney speaking gig.

Made an honest attempt. But with Cheryl being out sick all week, it made a really good argument for staying in the office.

In hindsight, i could have brought lunch into her office.

Live and learn.

Are you prostituting your soul for your career ambitions?

Disney Leadership Speakers
Yesterday in the middle of a great discussion.

 

The two-day session was designed to help management Consultants. We talked briefly about Mid Life Celebration. Everyone in the room said they could benefit from the message of being responsible for becoming either a great example or a glaring warning to the people we love and care about, simply by the way we live our lives.

Shelly (pictured above) spoke of the “career prostitution”, the habitual commitment to do work that doesn’t feed our sense of authenticity. A commitment that poisons our soul.

She left the corporate grind to start an organization that helps single Moms in desperate need.

There comes a time when the time is now

This group has been getting together over Labor Day weekend since graduating College in 1981.

Leadership takes many forms and has many accountbilities.

Relationships are near the top.

Perhaps (even in a busy world) the single most important thing?

Carving out time, eh?

Leaving in three days for the birthplace of this late-blooming intrepid traveler.

There comes a time when the time is now.

Who’s in charge of managing your regret?

Leaders (and we are all leaders) have a lot on their plates.

Today, even before one thing is solved or one victory is gained, two or more new challenges will be queued up clamoring for our attention.

Creating a legacy with the 2014 Glacier trip just days ago. And in a couple days creating additional legacy at the other end of life… Cedarbrook Brookview.

Who’s to say how long an 88 and 91 year old will Grace us with their presence.

You are in charge of minimizing regret in your life.

Think things through.

Then do something.
