Unrelenting desire to teach

teaching mantra
From a memorial service two days ago.

 

Unrelenting desire to teach.

One of the speakers characterized Brad Ramsey (WPS 2014 Teacher of the Year) as having an unrelenting desire to teach.

In a school, perhaps, this is valued above all other values.

In a Fortune 500, probably never going to make it to the medal podium.

For all of us, the insight: we must find a million ways to persevere when what we are most passionate and skilled at, is not at the top of our company’s list.

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?

Let your walking be the evidence

Executive coach from Disney jeff noel
i like having a name tag to wear, post-Disney, even though all my official Disney name tags have been retired.

 

If you were accused of charged with being passionate, would there be enough evidence to convict you?

The risk experiment to use the iPhone 7 Plus as my presentation laptop succeeded with flying colors, as did the experiment to use the iPhone 7 as the remote control slide advancer.

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.

 

Life is not a dress rehearsal, live like you mean it

Will i squander 2017?

Did i squander 2016?

You?

If you have my first book and haven’t read it, it’s economically priced.

It’s also an economic read – takes either side of an hour to finish.

If you’ve read it, have you thought about what you could gain from reading it again?

If you don’t have a copy, here’s great news?

The $4.99 Kindle edition or the $10.99 paperback are easily accessible.

If it doesn’t cause you to .rethink .reprioritize and .recommit i’ll refund your purchase price.

Few books have as much potential to minimize or eliminate regrets*.

*Regrets are non-refundable.

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?
