Quotes – Page 60 – Disney Leadership Keynote Speaker

Set no low bar

Disney characters on the bookshelf — Cheryl surprised me, placing this on our office bookshelf without saying anything.

Disney taught me to set no low bar. Only the highest bar is acceptable.
dad

High standards create high results.

You notice this when you work with an outlier like Disney. The bar we (Disney) set for ourselves is beyond what most people tolerate.

The highest standards apply not just to the quality of work we produce but the opportunities we work on. If we accept average work from ourselves, we only get average work from ourselves (and our teams). If we say yes to average projects, we’ll have no time for excellent projects.

Raise your bar to raise your results.

Obviously this is a work example. Intentionally started with work to paint an easily understood analogy. The analogy is your personal life, and on this post i’m focused on our (highest) bar for mental growth-mindset, positivity, and optimism.

Regret sucks. Regret is for amateurs.
dad

Regret is for amateurs. We all have focus. Whether it’s a growth mindset focus or a closed mindset focus, it’s always our call. Don’t regret making a lifetime of low bar calls, celebrate your high-bar mindset.

i don’t need a ride

Palm trees — Feb 24, 2022, Russia initiated special military operations. A year later, 2023, a SNAFU. If Russia stops fighting the war is over. If Ukraine stops fighting…well, who knows what Russia will do?

I don’t need a ride, I need ammo.
Ukrainian President

My job is

Disney Speaker jeff noel on a mountain — If Disney ran your life, every standard you have would have to rise to the highest level.

My job is to get you to dream, to think, and to feel.
dad

My job is to get you to dream, to think, and to feel. Why? So that you consider attempting something impossible, for the betterment of all your tomorrows.
