outdoor wedding rehearsal
Last night’s wedding rehearsal. Practicing important things helps you. A simple truth. Practice, generally is a boring truth.

Simple truths are boring.

And, forgotten.

Fight like hell to rise above this boring truth.

Find a million ways to make your boring truths shine like diamonds and gold.

Leveling up, work

Disney's Space Mountain at night
Used to park here (where i’m standing to take this pic) when i worked at Disney’s Contemporary Resort from 1985-1990.
Mickey Mouse design with flower bed
Walking by at eye level it’s easy to miss this ‘hidden Mickey’. But from the western Main Building rooms, it’s stunning.

Brought my client here last week…

Say “cheese”.

Same spot as the previous photo, simply doing a 180.

Never kept track.

Positive reinforcement.

Gifting others with it.

What was different last week is the audience.

All my positive reinforcement went to new people. A combo of Disney and Disney Institute Cast Members and my client’s special team he brought to Disney Institute.

The newness of the audience facilitated daily, marginal leveling up. Why? Because many were people i was meeting for the first time.

Note: The exception is the CEO.

Disney Institute Employee Engagement, work

disney cast member couple at Disneyland
Disneyland. Either side of 2014 i think. We celebrate a combined 66 years of Disney Cast Member Service.

Corporate culture is a common way to describe what i call Organizational Vibrancy.

However, there is a caveat with Organizational Vibrancy.

The cultural bar is exponentially raised…

A good or very good corporate culture is not good enough to level up to Organizational Vibrancy.

Vibrancy is when every organizational bar is raised to the highest level.

Hello personal leadership

movie ticket purchase confirmation
Went with Sandro and Tracy. While enjoying dinner at their house last night, and while we enjoyed dessert, we reserved these tickets.

Planned ‘hellos’ are the opportunity of your lifetime.

  1. New dreams.
  2. Old dreams.

Artful possibilities

Artful possibilities?

How?

Build with questions, common sense, and paradox.

Why?

To figure out what your “get-to-do” at work is.

Art is getting to do more than you have to do.
