Brainstorming 101 and thinking inside the box

Disney creativity lesson commencing at Lake McDonald Lodge. Snack box easel holding our Disney Creativity template.
Replaced snack box with water bottle easel.
Used this exact same model (including the post-it layout) in the Madrid Disney Creativity speech.
He did all the writing and was a great collaborator.
Took some photos to use as examples of what i’d like him to capture when he’s in the photographer role. The picture is intriguing because of the wildlife.
This photo places us on the second floor.
This photo simply shows our progress as we work through six boxes of content.

Brainstorming 101 and thinking inside the box is maximized when a leader establishes an environment where ideas have no choice but to flourish. 

There is a Disney framework i use for creativity in my personal life. It’s the same architecture i use in my Disney speaking business. 

It’s simple to remember and simple to use. 

Simplicity and scalability is the key.

What is your role?

Bright morning.
Looking back at Lake McDonald Lodge.
Heading to Fish Lake (lower left).
Sturdy. Simple. dry.
Looking left while crossing bridge.
Looking back from where we crossed.
Bears are always a threat, particularly when surprised.
Fish Lake. Serene.
Quite the unexpected higher altitude ecosystem.

What is your role?

Think of yourself as the trainee. 

Think of me as the trainer.

Think of working for me like working for a bigger organization. 

Everything you learn has a higher purpose, high company expectations, and a tangible goal of delivering something remarkable to the people your company serves. 

This is a great opportunity to use attitude to shape up all your get to do’s with your have to do’s.

A mentally special day on the calendar

Polebridge, in Northwest Glacier National Park.

A mentally special day on the calendar.

Yesterday was inspiring.

The morning hike to Avalanche Lake and the afternoon drive to Polebridge provided two firsts:

First time in 46 years at Glacier to visit the infamous Polebridge.

Son, you got to experience a lesson (being assertively friendly) on the trail that will transfer nicely to college freshman year in two months.

Note: Initiating a salutation is different than responding to one. An example of scaling the extra inch, all day, every day.

Three lessons Glacier taught me about mental attitude:

Bear Grass.

Three lessons Glacier taught me about mental attitude:

  1. Unquestionably, optimism beats pessimism
  2. How you see things is in your control
  3. Use patience to train yourself to see only positively

Your vision is a gift

Yesterday’s arrival, June 9, 2019.

Your vision is a gift.

What have you experienced?

What do you see?

What do you hope for?

What do you want?

These questions provide the opportunity for a life gift…

Your vision for the future.

A future that’s not only better than now, but much better than now.
