Disney Brand Loyalty Keynote Speaker
Five daily blogs about life's 5 big choices on five different sites.
i like being unpolished.
And i like commanding the room.
You don’t need polish to command a room, but you do need command if you want to use ‘unpolished’ to inspire.
Make big, inspired mistakes.
Care more about the karma than the polish.
Why?
Because the audience notices.
Big time.

Want a tip to help you resist the urge to wait? In a moment, I’ll share what happened last month, what I did about it, and how it impacted my leadership philosophy.
But it’s a double edge sword isn’t it? If consistency is the hallmark of quality, and continuous improvement is the key to becoming world class, how do you balance risk and reward?
Faced with a opportunity to do something the way I’ve always done it, or a way I’ve been dreaming about but always chicken out, I was once again presented the opportunity, but was afraid I’d pass on it again.
But not this time. Finally choose the way I had envisioned.
It was amazingly exhilarating! Why? Which is a good question because the thing I did differently, was actually very small in the big scheme of things.
Then why was it exhilarating? Because conquering a small fear builds the confidence to conquer another small fear.
Eventually, the fears that get conquered are bigger and bigger, until we are faced with very little fear that we can’t act on.
Well, we will always come across scary things, but the confidence to confront and conquer is a priceless ROI for small risk taking habit.
The key, the simple tip – “Do at least one thing each day that scares you.”
jungle jeff Leadership 101 Tip:
“Leadership – Inspiring others by the courage of your own example”.
This is the essence of what I personally believe is the ultimate leadership definition.
Perhaps the best way to fully understand its meaning is to re-read it, think deeply about it, and ultimately, evaluate our own “daily examples”. This would lead us to a “personal leadership score”.
We would base our “score” on our daily leadership example. And our basis should be brutally honest.
It seems, to me, that on days where I don’t need much courage, I’m probably not a very good example. Hope today is a courage-filled day for all of us.
