Foreground, the foundation pour is about to begin.
I have (pick only one):
I have a strategic plan.
(or)
I have a dream.
What if Martin Luther King had chosen differently?

Routinely running 8-10 miles three times a week was impossible until i (got older) retired.
Most of us are buried (daily) with things to do so we race through our stress-filled days.
i remember many years decades of wondering if it was possible to break free and design a life that was different, and better, than the rat race i was living.
Turns out, it’s not impossible.

Excerpt from January 8, 2016 article. PS. Bob’s vision is for Disney to become the most admired company in the world.
Switching gears from Bob Iger to one of my potential clients, also a CEO.
The CEO is calculating. That’s why she has lasted this long and that’s why her business does well economically while many in her industry suffer. She is exceptionally smart, driven, patient, and creative.
It will be interesting to see what happens when we get closer to how much it’s going to cost.
My gut (which isn’t 100% accurate, but it’s close) tells me she’s trying to use time (and patience) as a creative way to get me to lower my price, simply because i’ve invested so many months (near a year now) in tasting the strong possibility of a contract.
Interesting thing though. i’m cut from the same cloth. The person who will prevail is the one who can walk away.
While i hope things will work out, i’ve already envisioned life without this contract.
In a competitive world, i can’t help but wonder if she envisions her organization’s future culture without my help.
Boldness contains many benefits. Boldness also contains the possibility for a crash and burn.

The way to become a better person is to not try to become someone else. Just become a better you than you used to be – on your mission to become a category of one.
Singing competitions reveal this with beautiful accuracy. Competitions like The Voice, American Idol, and the X-Factor are not looking for someone to sing a cover-song like the original artist. The judges, the record labels, and the audience (us), really want only one thing – a stunning, unique version of the cover that blows our mind.
A song that we would buy a second copy of because it’s so different (and remarkable) from the original.
Additionally, we trust that a singer who can do this is also a singer who will do it with their own songs.
Art.
Art that inspires because it’s different.

Great leaders don’t sugar coat anything. Photo from Internet, source unknown.
If Disney ran your Speakers Bureau, your experience would be different than the current industry standards.
And second, your Disney experience would vary depending on who the Disney leader is.
It’s insanely easy for a large, growing, and reputable organization to rest on their laurels.
Responding to client emails within 24 hours is not a standard when you are building your business and your brand, it’s the standard, everyday, all day.
Forgetting that is the beginning of an insidious cultural decline that may prove overwhelming.
