An attitude of why is essential

Cinderella Castle at Magic Kingdom
Earlier this week, at the midway point of a long run from home.

 

Forget about what and how.

An attitude of “why” is essential.

My career as a Disney Institute professional speaker taught me the most important difference between presenting information and facilitating learning.

If i tell you, you will never remember. If i help you discover it for yourself, you will never forget.

People get so focused on what Disney does and how they do it. This approach is destined for failure. Why? Because you are not Disney.

But once you understand why Disney does things the way they do, you will find your own way to do the what and the how – because your “why” is the same as Disney’s.

Dear Son, it has been a privilege and an honor to be your teacher (along with your Mother) for nearly 15 years. Thank you for being receptive to the teachings.

A positive attitude is your biggest ally.

It is yours to nurture and grow.

Why You Can’t Teach Patience With Impatience

The greatest gift for able-minded people is the gift to choose patience over impatience. Take the wheel.

It’s impossible to teach patience with impatience. Disagree? This epiphany hit me nine years ago when our Son was two years old. There’s a reason the phrase “terrible two’s” became household.

Now, imagine being in a loving relationship with an adult – impatiently expecting patience from the other person. The best we can hope for is to control what we can control (our own patience levels) and let go of what we can’t.
