Experiment with the best, mind

Experiment with the best ways to think.

Then do it for decades.

Same with all five of life’s big choices.

Disney rice crispy treat
Two days ago. Just a short walk from home. And a stone’s throw from our Son’s College Program assignment.

mmm…

Cup half-empty or half-full?

Problem or challenge?

Stop or go?

Read or write?

Student or teacher?

Follower or leader?

Pessimist or optimist?

Closed-mindset or growth-mindset.

Someone else is running your life or you’re the CEO of You, Inc?

Pretty simple once you start asking a few questions.

Only so many, mind

There are only so many things you can do especially well.

Only so many thoughts that summarize the whole mental volume.

For example, growth-mindset trumps closed-mindset. All day, every day.

Disney Institute Leadership Excellence, mind

Shhhh…don’t show this to anyone. It’s the answers from the final exam.

Disney Institute class…

Disney’s Approach to Leadership Excellence.

Thesis statement…

We judge ourselves on our intentions, others judge us on our behaviors.

Disney .thinks .differently

book cover for The Comfort Crisis
A 10-year executive coaching client (CEO of 3k employee enterprise recently purchased by a 300k person enterprise) sent this yesterday. Can you guess who he said it reminded him of?

Disney Excellence Paradox:

Teaching Disney Institute’s world-class curriculum to a million people over 15 years, my participants always appreciated when i said this:

“We don’t do these things because we’re Disney, we’re Disney because we do these things.”

The above quote is my response to anyone insisting that Disney has special abilities and secrets that outsiders can’t touch.

It is my way of trying to snap a person back to reality.

Finally, this insight frames one of my daily mantras: Stop making excuses that excellence is only reserved for privileged people and privileged companies. Be amazed and be amazing.
