Risk – Disney Brand Loyalty Keynote Speaker

Take it

Disney University TV monitor messaging — When i turn my head slightly to the right, this is what i see.

This post is an intermission from sales talk…

Life is not a dress rehearsal…

On a recent 10-mile walk near Walt Disney World, i began by asking Siri to shuffle my music. There are 6k songs downloaded on the iPhone. Minuscule odds of this song playing in the first hour (or at all).

But it did.

In the moment, felt compelled to share it here.

Then doubt set in…

Unprofessional.

LinkedIn isn’t a place to play office-DJ.

No one has time to stop and watch a music video.

You’re wasting your time.

Don’t embarrass yourself.

Decided to simply smile at the momentary ‘ambition’ to share a song (and performance) that epitomizes passion…

And think about the blessings — being gifted with a new day.

Regret stinks. So here’s the message. Better one day late than never.

Someone is gonna see this for the first time (and get watery-eyed).

My mantra…every day, all day…

Life is not a dress rehearsal. Live like you mean it.

Legacy vs Innovation

Note card about innovation — The safety, effectiveness, and efficiency statistics are staggering between a roundabout versus a four-way stop. Yet four-way stops prevail.

Are you comfortable with the status quo?

Are you comfortable with being uncomfortable?

By the way, growth mindset thrives on making your comfort zone being uncomfortable.

If you are willing to take consistent, calculated risks, the world opens up to you in a way playing it safe never will.

Play the hand you’re dealt

In cards and in life, you must play the hand you are dealt.

You can let go of a few cards and replace them with cards that may or may not serve you.

Risk and reward is a continuous environmental life-reality.
