Richard Thaler, Father of ‘nudge theory’ won a 2017 Noble Peace Prize in economics.

What would happen if our attitude about questions became more important than our traditional focus on answers?

For example, if we rethought our notions about college dormitory bathroom placement, could we increase freshmen retention rates.

We toured a college the past two days that has applied this behavioral science – nudge theory – to their new freshman dorm.

Can you always make a positive reaction your only reaction?

Disney Keynote Speaker
Every day we need to work on our attitude. Keep climbing and be prepared for obstacles, and, breath-taking views.

 

Sure, it’s worth a lot to your client, but what’s it worth to you?

Status quo is easy to recognize.

It’s the way things are done.

Normal.

No surprises.

It’s what happens when a professional does her job, meets industry standards, and keeps your company’s promise.

But where is the surprise and delight?

You know, the wow-factor.

Extra effort is compelling, and sadly, rare.

It’s only when she rises up and offers more than anyone expects – only then can Magic happen.

The same with your attitude yesterday, today and tomorrow.

To remain positive when normal is the ability to flow in and out of positive and negative, as extraneous daily conditions warrant.

All i’m asking you to consider is this – can you change this belief?

Can you always make a positive reaction your only reaction?

Why are moments of awe and inspiration the bottomline?

Logan Pass sign
July 30, 2017….total awe and inspiration.

 

Human’s are self-centered, goal-directed, and risk-averse.

We don’t care about what’s in it for the salesperson.

We only care about our own resources.

This is my growth-focus for 2018.

Three miles into yesterday’s bike ride through Walt Disney World.

 

Texted this photo to a CEO yesterday while on a 15-mile bike ride through Walt Disney World, reminding her she is her organization’s chief cultural architect.

Merry Christmas.

We arrived in Allentown, Pennsylvania an hour ago (9am) and i’m writing from my mother-in-law’s apartment. Disney Christmas parade on TV in the background.
