The privilege of making mistakes, home

IZOD Center inside photo from the floor level — Everyday that we follow our dream is a risk. Because it might not come true.

Disney Customer Service Keynote Speaker jeff noel — Does your audience care about what you have to say? Can you tailor it to different groups?

Prepping for next week’s Disney Creativity Keynote Speech in Madrid. Some notes on a post-it note.

Disney Keynote Speakers jeff — Before (or maybe after) my Madrid keynote.

Top Disney Keynote Speakers — The Keynote began with a few jokes and then everyone taking a selfie.

Is it a human privilege to make mistakes?

i think it is.

i’ve made more mistakes speaking than most people have made speeches.

The privilege of making mistakes is only for people who act.

Why?

Intentional action leads to outcomes.

Outcomes lead to learning.

Learning leads to growth.

Growth is the essence of life.

Have always said this, “i never give the same speech twice.”

Why?

The brilliant concept of continuous improvement.

A great concept.

Few, maybe less than 1%, have it in their DNA.

Disney does.

If Disney Ran Your Life is my DNA’s mantra.

Time poor, home

Quiet leadership — In one month he went from being last to shaving 7 minutes off his 5k time. Text from Chapin’s Cross-Country coach.

Walt Disney Legacy Award tag line — One is easy. The other two take a lifetime of commitment.

A few times in our lifetime, someone comes along with a dramatic breakthrough, disrupting everything.

Am i time poor? And, does it even matter?

Time poor is when you are so busy, you cannot afford to waste any time.

You are living without any discretionary time.

No extra time to do something that isn’t required.

Now, i’m embarking on a time-rich life.

There’s a catch, however.

i only get one day at a time.

Every day i get on this planet isn’t one less day to be alive, it’s one more day to be alive.

Yee-ha!

Busy is not sexy, home

Why is being busy not sexy?

Why?

Wait, you haven’t figured this out yet?

Having your act together enough to finally prioritize your priorities?

Now that was a cool-life moment for you.

Love the way it makes you smile.

Letting go of posturing, home

jeff noel author, runner — Finland, Summer 2009 (Senior Olympics), age 50. Ps. Sometimes my crucifix would pop out when i leaned over while wearing a tank top. Once i realized it was out, i’d tuck it back in.

Finland excels at Winter Sports. Previous photo shot from top of tallest platform.

Disney Institute speaker Jeff Noel — Seven years after the 1999 call, a Disney Institute fixture.

Is it possible to finally, for good, let go of habitual, societal posturing?

Probably no if you’re working. By the way, posturing is marketing, hustling. No harm, no foul. Just tiring. Because everyone is also shouting, “Pick me!”

But five months since my second and final retirement i just have no need to keep up. Nothing to prove.

Letting go of posturing is exhilarating.

My desire to visit LinkedIn multiple times each day is slowly fading. And yet of all social media channels, i trust LinkedIn the most.

Let my life be my medicine, home

apple sitting on a desk — Healthy eating is invisible to all but you. Become your own category when no one is looking, and no one cares.

Can i let my life be my ‘prescription medicine’?

Yes, if it’s my priority.
