Balance (yeah right) – Page 13 – Disney Leadership Keynote Speaker

Good answers are a leading cause of work life imbalance

Leadership development flip chart notes — These are answers – the questions the audience had never asked before

Good answers to questions are toxic. Why?

Because odds are our questions are poor. Yes, in the big picture, probably poor.

We think, we move, we feel, we work, we dwell – life’s five big choices.

Mind – Body – Spirit – Work – Home

The interconnectedness is undeniable.

Spending our energy equally – tending to all five – is balance.

Neglect just one, and it doesn’t matter which, the other four suffer harmful decline.

The few who ask and answer “Why?” are the people you see thriving – the ones who probably don’t look or act their age.

Does Lane 8 not feel important?

As we journey from midlife to old age, one of the biggest regrets we observe in those ahead of us is their regret for not taking better care of their physical health. We know this to be true.

Does Lane 8 not feel nearly as important as Mid Life Celebration? I ask this because there’s a decent drop off on Google Analytics from here to there.

Our body is a temple that holds in place all that keeps us alive – is it not staggering to think there are those among us who wouldn’t have time for upkeep?

One of the easiest ways to think about life balance

quote on balance — check out the quote on the top right

One of the easiest ways to think about life balance:

Life is simply a never ending balance of learning what to hold on to and what to let go of.

The art of letting go and holding on to the best and worst of Life’s Big Choices.

An art we must try to learn on our own. An art with few (sadly) skilled artists.

And because it’s rare, we perpetuate (sadly again) it’s elusiveness.

To tackle today in a balanced way, I love jumping from mind (this blog) to body (this blog).

We can not lead anyone further than we’ve gone…unless

wellness program gimmicks — price doesn't start people exercising, indomitable will does

We can not lead anyone further than we’ve gone…unless… unless we can create a clear, concise, and compelling vision.

I’ll bet the team that created those stairway posters are not balanced. It’s a hunch based on 53 years of creating a clear, concise and compelling vision for wellness and work life balance….

Where the main problem lies with poor work life balance

take the stairs — the power of unpopular… and humor (ps. this isn’t my note)

The root of all poor work life balance is within ourselves. Our mental attitude, our physical wellbeing, our spiritual strength, our contribution to society, and our personal organization.

Tip or skew our longterm average energy output on any one of life’s five big choices and you can see how the math ends. Either really well, or not so. Therein lies our problem and our opportunity.
