All or nothing

Personal triumph
Not quite to the two mile mark, he’s (left) trailing a teammate (upper right) by roughly 200 meters.

 

The all-or-nothing scenario faces most of us every day. And often, all day.

It can be challenging (ok, more like impossible) to deliver at a high level all the time.

At Disney, however, we believe this culture of excellence can (and must) be architected with intentional structure and processes – to facilitate exactly that – high performance, all day, every day.

Was inspired by a 10th grader smashing his season (and lifetime) best 5k personal record by 3-minutes and 20-seconds.

Unless you’re the boy or his parents (and maybe his coaches) the obvious question is, “So what?”

So what does this mean to any of us and our continuous challenge to raise, at every level in our organization, every employee’s willingness to accept and deliver at an exceptional level all day, every day?

How many days count?

Disney Management Keynote speaker
Can’t help but wonder how long Steve Jobs and his team took to finally land on an apple.

 

A question we rarely ask ourselves:

How many days count?

It’s so easy in our daily busy-ness to postpone living like we mean it until we catch our breath.

This may be the scariest thing – maybe we are real-life zombies.

What proof do we have that we’re not?

What test do we take to show that proof?

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.

 

Inspiration always starts as a seed

Inspirational thoughts
Real life…provide hope where it’s elusive.

 

Inspiration always starts as a seed, like three small ideas yesterday captured in a simple photo for posterity.

At Disney we say, it’s not the Magic that makes it work it’s the work that makes it Magic.

Where we end up is the sum of a lifetime of choices

Where we end up is the sum of a lifetime of choices

We move slowly (daily) toward the person we become as we age.

Every day we make choices and these decisions offer one of two things:

  1. A chance to get better
  2. A chance to avoid getting better

An over-abundance of choices in one of these two categories and our life is transformed in a manner in which we have sown.
