Rethink – Page 4 – Disney Leadership Keynote Speaker

Second day text-less posts

Disney Institute speaker Jeff noel — Amway Center, the Orlando indoor event venue and home of the Orlando Magic NBA Team. Monica, a Disney Institute colleague and i spoke from center court to roughly 500 part-time event staff.

This is day two with text-less posts. This post has text simply because it’s the first of the five daily, differently-themed blogs/websites. The text you’re reading now is on this post to help see the transition from 25,000 posts with text to posts with just a photo (and probably a caption). Overall, it feels comfortable, yet weird. Comfortable because the idea is years old. Weird because i’m actually doing it.

Choices galore

Disney Keynote Speaker Jeff Noel — Our Church asked me to speak to the Men’s group. It was a paid keynote.

Choices galore.

Choices?

What to write about and what photos or videos to use.

Been (re)floating around the idea of photo-less posts.

Or, the opposite, just a photo, no ‘writtren’ text.

Not as a long-term change.

Just as a state change.

Why?

To see how it impacts the daily blogging process.

Nothing ventured, nothing gained.

So, beginning on the next post…gonna try text-less posts.

Just photos.

Will probably have photo captions but we shall see.

Positive focus

middle school student on a small stage — Your #1 job is to be an example, not a warning.

Think about what’s possible, don’t think about what’s not possible.

Lean into discomfort

clothes for a suitcase — Will never again wear a business suit for a speech. Jeans, untucked shirt, possibly a jacket, and undoubtedly, running shoes.

Lean into discomfort means trying things that may not work.

Before you try something you have to think it up.

Lean into uncomfortable thoughts.

Particularly thoughts that come with no guarantee of working.

Thoughts that might get you laughed at, or ostracized.

Zero-theory mental theory

Stitch toy — Sunrise. Stitch. A Father’s love. Intentionality. Action.

What is zero-theory mental theory?

Let’s break it down, and remember common sense is a BFO (blinding flash of the obvious):

Zero theory means no theory is used. For anything.
Mental theory means ideas about mental vibrancy.

Now, let’s unpack those two bullet points:

The goal of education isn’t knowledge, it’s action.
Knowledge without action is nothing.
‘Nothing’ isn’t a useful tool since no behavior(s) is applied.

Summary:

The only thing that equips you with a growth mindset is action.
To know is to do.
To know and not do is to not yet know.
