Excited to go to the Printer this morning

Print media fine tuning
Measure twice, print once.

 

Excited to go to the Printer this morning. Picking up:

  • Business cards
  • Workbooks
  • Tri-fold handouts
  • Activity materials (two separate activities)

The behind the scenes work can be staggering. At Disney, you learn to never let the Guests see it.

Simple doesn’t mean plain or boring

Disney Patient Experience Keynote Speaker
Simple design.

 

Disney Patient Experience Keynote Speaker
Less is more.

 

The most under-rated thing i heard yesterday was my (International) Graphic Designer saying, “Simplicity is the hardest thing to design.” My vision for the first client workbook (under my solo speaking business) is simple and elegant – like Steve Jobs and Apple.

Simple doesn’t mean plain or boring.

Simple is (probably) the most sophisticated outcome possible.

This Disney speaker never gives the same speech twice

Someone writing about Steve Jobs
Steve was “intense and relentless”. i know this mindset well.

How many of us are going to be CEO’s? Yesterday at airport newsstand – current issue of HBR.

 

JFK Airport pizza
The glamour of International business travel and an expense account.

Entering the airport parking garage, this is the first thing i see. The timing is stunning.

Each speech i do is different from any other speech i’ve delivered. And each speech is used as another step up the confidence ladder. However, with the Montreal speech, i took a giant two-step step.

Note: The business man sitting across the exit row aisle seat from me was from France. We chatted before taking off in New York, and for a little while longer as we climbed to cruising altitude. He was heading to Gaylord Palms (near Disney) for a Dentist convention. He’s a Dentist in France. He checked his messages as soon as we landed, and he was the first to share the horrific Paris attacks last night. He lives in eastern France, but has a nephew in Paris. He immediately called his nephew (who was alright) and his nephew told him, “Stay in America.”

Day number 2,401 (who cares?)

iPhone calculator app
Not proud of what i did, but i am a firm believer in taking calculated risks. If you wouldn’t consider attending my funeral…

 

Day number 2,401 (who cares?)

No one.

And few people care about your Facebook updates.

Yesterday was a blogging milestone – 12,000 posts, or, 2,400 consecutive days at five posts a day.

Yesterday was also the day i reached 150 Facebook ‘friends’. Two weeks ago i had 414.

What are our limits?

Steve Jobs revealing the first iPhone in 2007
Steve Jobs talks with his hands. A lot. i find solace in this.

 

What are our limits?

And how can we be certain?

We can be certain of one thing – nothing ventured, nothing gained.

Simple math.
