Disney Brand Loyalty Keynote Speaker
Five daily blogs about life's 5 big choices on five different sites.
Progress is energizing and exhausting.
Our Son (16) is a day or two away from finishing his first book.
He plans to be a Novelist.
The entire week of Spring Break he’s been writing like he means it.
And often in the past seven days, it’s been tough to find inspiration.
But he persevered.
Which is exhausting.
And energizing.
Paradox is a wonderful gift in everyone’s life.

The International Baccalaureate (IB) High School diploma is an option at our school.
It virtually guarantees top–shelf credibility and predictive success no matter what University Admissions Director reads your college application.
Students are immersed in above average rigor and group requirements, and are therefore prepared for the same thing in higher education – it’s not a shock to their lifestyle.
On the drive home from school last night, i reminded our son that doing these things meets expectations, but it’s the little things, like thanking a teacher after class for a great insight, that exceed expectations.
There are no courses (except perhaps Disney Institute) focusing on exceeding expectations.
The High School sophomore said, “You should give a speech to the students about that.”
(Dear son, thank you for paying me a compliment, and encouraging me.)

Training versus development.
Train for compliance.
Develop for commitment.
Compliance shouldn’t be taken in a negative context here. Compliance is when employees (and children) and doing exactly what they should be doing, exactly when it should be.
Commitment, however, is doing more than you are paid (or as children, expected) to do and to do it willingly, and to do it all the time.
Last night, i let the 10-grader lead the adult conversation and drive us to a resolution.
While his initiative was not good (perhaps from a trained parent-child relationship), his execution was stellar.
A huge step in development.

On April Fool’s Day 2009, jeff noel began writing five daily, differently-themed blogs (on five different sites). It was to be a 100-day self-imposed “writer’s bootcamp”, in preparation for writing his first book. He hasn’t missed a single day since.
Roots and wings.
Technology shouldn’t be scary.
Not planning to keep up with it should be though.

In the blink of an eye, right?
At the risk of sounding boringly redundant, it’s incomprehensible to comprehend the consecutive days streak – five daily differently-themed blog posts on five individual sites.
Seven full years of never missing a single day.
Looking back, it flew by.
(Note: i savored each day. That’s a lot of savoring.)
