It was a great example of belonging to a tribe

2016 Florida Class 3A basketball Final — Tied 27-27 at halftime.

One of the most exciting Basketball games i’ve ever been in the bleachers for.

The lead went back and forth repeatedly.

And at one point near the end, it looked like the other team would run away with the win.

For the 15-year old freshman, he witnessed an unprecedented display of school spirit and was there in person to be part of a first ever Boys High School State Championship win.

It was the fifth game we’ve attended, and there were more fans at last night’s final than the other four games combined.

It was moving.

One of a million tiny reasons margin is necessary

jeff noel balance keynote speaker — This blog is about HQ – the box that holds. the four smaller boxes

We had a safety deposit box for 10 years at a branch that is closing. For several days, i’ve been working on the alternative.

It has taken a disproportional amount of time to secure a safety deposit box at a new location.

This is one of the reasons why margin is necessary in our busy lives.

It’s so easy for some small, new to-do to throw our schedule into a mini tail spin.

Got margin?

Windermere Prep — Yesterday afternoon at school…sitting and thinking.

Got margin?

i define margin as padding in your daily schedule for breathing room. Enough extra time to drive the speed limit. Enough extra time to stop and talk to someone for a few minutes. Enough extra time to look at the sky.

Time to watch, listen, think.

Time to enjoy something ridiculously simple, like a child’s art in a banker’s office, and then talk to the banker about it.

The cross i bear

Disney Customer Service Keynote Speakers — Great Customer Service, and organizational vibrancy, is my life’s work.

State Farm and Chase Bank tested my patience yesterday. PS. It didn’t last long because i caught myself.

A week went by and i thought our car would be close to being repaired and ready to go.

State Farm said it hasn’t been started.

Later, the Chase branch manager arranged a meeting for me to speak with one of her staff about a Home Equity line of credit.

Arriving for the appointment, i was ushered into an office with two people, not one. The other was a Wealth Management specialist. i told the branch manager i didn’t want a pitch.

And that’s exactly what they orchestrated.

World-class service is difficult to scale, even from some of the America’s most popular brands.

The work at Disney is grueling and joyous

Jimmy Kimmel on Disneyland show — iPhone photo of Television last night.

The work at Disney is grueling and joyous.

A perfect balance of professionalism and silliness.

It’s the only way to survive a demanding, lifelong career in the public eye.
