Disney Leadership Keynote Speaker
Five daily blogs about life's 5 big choices on five interconnected sites.
Don’t listen to what people say, just watch what they do.
That’s the true story.
That’s also where you learn who sets a great example and who is an important warning.

Wow, what am i doing here?
In 30 days, year nine concludes and year 10 begins.
Who takes a dreaded cultural phenomenon – Midlife Crisis – and turns it into joy, discovery, opportunity, and purpose?
Mid Life Celebration was a crazy idea i had while teaching the four-day Disney’s Approach to People Management somewhere near the turn of the century.
Bob Spina and i were co-facilitating how the language (specific, carefully chosen words) organizations use determines behavioral outcomes.
Note, the lack of intentionally choosing specific words also determines behavioral outcomes – and the outcomes are not crafted, they are by default, random and unintentional, possibly even detrimental.
Also in this discussion were symbols, values, heritage and traditions, as well as traits and behaviors.
And in the moment, as i was searching for a new way to say the same thing, i told the audience, “Do you have a problem or an opportunity, a problem or a challenge, a midlife crisis or a midlife celebration.”
From a tiny acorn, a mighty Oak does grow.

On April Fool’s Day 2009, jeff noel began writing five daily, differently-themed blogs (on five different sites). It was to be a 100-day self-imposed “writer’s bootcamp”, in preparation for writing his first book. He hasn’t missed a single day since.
What about retooling the way we think about work life balance?
Or have we convinced ourselves it’s impossible?
i was so close to giving up on it in the 1990’s.
Does that seem like the type of example we should be setting for younger generations?

i am taught attitude about optimism by others, who become great examples or stern warnings.
This is also how we teach others who are watching us.
