Authenticity, transparency, and enthusiasm

write like you mean it
Nearly everyone could write a book. Hardly anyone does. Fear, doubt, and excuses lead the way in why so many important books never get written.

 

Authenticity, transparency, and enthusiasm.

The three keys to sales.

And the script i use to tell myself was, “I’m not good at selling. i hate selling.”

Turns out, i excel at sales.

What changed?

The three things audience members – from executives to front-line employees – consistently tell me is that they observe an authenticity, transparency, and enthusiasm that is rarely seen in keynote speakers.

When i’m on the phone with a potential client who loves Disney, and they have a robust budget, Magic happens.

Do you see your transformational opportunity?

Do you see your transformational opportunity?

Two choices every day.

Autopilot:

  • no plan
  • reacting to life as it comes
  • unintentional

Present:

  • game plan
  • proactively influencing life as it comes
  • intentional

 

Pick one.

2016 Disney Talent Management Article

Disney Fairy Tale Weddings
The “Magic” is our ability to keep the reality of the hard work invisible.

 

It’s not the Magic that makes it work, it’s the work that makes it Magic.

A recent Disney Talent Management article from July (no longer available on this site) illustrates many things which aren’t specifically called out, including:

  • Everything takes longer than hoped
  • Collaboration is key
  • Creativity is key
  • Vision is key
  • Transformation is key

Lots of keys to the Kingdom.

Focus and discipline.

Let me try to hammer home the point.

It’s as absurd as when non-athletic people say this when talking about athletic people, “They don’t need to worry about dieting.”

Having run consistently for the past 17 years, since turning 40, i can tell you that there isn’t a single day that i don’t:

  • Weigh myself
  • Consciously evaluate every food choice i make on a daily basis
  • Feel frustrated at how easily i gain weight
  • Secretly wish i didn’t have to work so hard just to maintain my weight

You had no idea right?

It’s this simple

Commitment isn’t when you feel like it.

It’s all day, every day.

Attitude.

Yours.

Go.
