As Jimmy Buffett sings in ”Cowboy in the Jungle”: Don’t let your blind ambition, erase tour intuition.

Grant us wisdom do the right things for the right reasons, whether we want to or not.

Top 3 leadership priorities?

Disney Culture expert, Jeff Noel architecture
Today’s posts walk through all five industry-neutral organizational pillars. You probably know this, Reputation is synonymous with Brand Loyalty. And, Improvement is synonymous with Creativity and Innovation.
Disney Leadership Speaker Jeff Noel
You know firsthand how powerful clarity is with your own priorities.

A leader and a direct report are paired and each has a Post-it note. The leader writes the top three leadership priorities she expects of her direct report. And the direct report writes the top three leadership priorities she thinks the leader expects from her.

What are the odds the lists match?

Whatever percentage you guessed, why?

What does a SWOT analysis reveal from your number?

Bonus: Imagine if it was always a 100% match with every pair of employees.

Note: SWOT = Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats.

Back to school

That’s AM.

Writing from a plane.

Been a while since the last time.

Feels good.

Growth mindset automatically seeks out learning and self-development.

The extra time our son spent at home finishing college freshman year and all of sophomore year was a once-a-in-lifetime event.

Why did it happen?

What did he gain?

What do we (the parents) gain?

Two sentences

Disney Institute Keynote Speaker
A great pair of sentences. But not the two i’m looking for. Bottomline, you’re in charge of everything in your life. How flipping cool is that!?!

.think .differently

My superpower.

Do you know yours?

Do you have a tagline?

Why or why not?

If Disney ran your life, this would not be optional.

Where you set your life’s five bars (mind, body, spirit, work, home) is where your results try to rise to. Low bar efforts yield low bar results.

How daily habits help

gecko
There are many creatures that survive by eating lizards. Lizards must develop great survival habits. They have no choice. Modern day convenience hypnotizes humans. We get eaten alive over a lifetime if we do not over-focus.

Daily habits work as a personalized, human operating system.

Habits are the software of our life.

Habits, healthy or unhealthy, produce results.

Habits, good and bad, use the magic of compound interest to help you thrive or suffer.
