Creativity means what?

What are the big two, three or four key drivers for you and your leadership behavior?

I believe in innovation, technology and global reach.

I’m curious by nature, so let me please ask you, “Did you have an immediate answer”?

Great if you did.  If you didn’t, imagine the unbelievable potential you have to get, and stay, focused.

Curious still.  If you do have a list, how many others know of it? How often do you focus on it?

Bottom Line?  How important is focus?

Million-dollar question……how focused are you?

Today is an excellent day to make your list or revisit your list.  If not today, when?  If not you, who?  Carpe diem, jeff noel 🙂

The Clock IS Ticking!

The clock IS ticking!
The clock IS ticking!
I often lose track of time.  At work and in life, it’s very busy, all the time.  Does this sound familiar?   Or am I alone on this journey?   What really motivates me at work and in life, is to know the clock IS ticking.  What I love about a deadline is the simple and profound fact that it provides me with FOCUS!   Without a deadline, I lack focus.   Today, I’m focused.  I have some key deadlines.  I had to carve out time to think about what was important, and when I was going to begin, and accomplish, those important goals.  I’m pretty good at kicking myself in the buttocks.  Are you?  Carpe diem, jeff noel  🙂

The Stone Cold Truth

A few days ago, I promised to write more about the phrase, “the stone cold truth“. Here’s a start.

It’s a rarely used asset in much of the corporate world. Why?

Because most of us are trained to be nice to people. When we actually hear the truth, we often don’t feel good about. Why?

I think it’s because we don’t get it enough and therefore it surprises us so much, that it actually hurts. Blind spots are called that because of the key word, blind – can’t see it.

The next post is just a small taste of what I’m scratching the surface on. Happy Tuesday,  jeff noel

jeff noel + blog =?

Hey, business blogs and professional networking are occupying a big part of my dreaming capacity these days.    How is it with you?   The dreaming part.

To me, dreaming is synonymous with vision, in my opinion.

How important is vision?  What is your vision each and every day.  This can be challenging to answer.

Why?

Because we often don’t think about it.  Why?  Because we are so busy trying to accomplish what’s directly in front of us.  Am I wrong?

Wanted to add a quick post  to share a vision that business blogs and social networking will someday soon be an energizing force to help make the world a better place.  I can feel it in my bones.

What are you passionate about?  What do you dream about?  Who needs to be involved?  How long do you have?

When do you find time to think of questions like these, let alone answer them?

I’m challenging myself to work harder and smarter than ever.  I hope you do what feels right for you, and for your organization.

To me, it feels like the clock is ticking faster.  The competition, working harder.  Carpe diem, jungle jeff noel  🙂

Blog World?

Our local newspaper, The Orlando Sentinel, has a whole section dedicated to blogs.

Sea World, a world famous Theme Park down the street from The Walt Disney World Resort, has a twitter account claiming to come from The Real Shamu.  Amazing how technology can, and is, being used to help businesses adapt to their customer’s ever changing, and ever growing, use of social marketing media.

In the land of Mickey Mouse, in fact the entire planet, it’s a wide open cyber-frontier.  Saddle up and carpe diem, jungle jeff  🙂
