Personal Leadership Jamboree

Disney Cast Member Complimentary Park ticket…1983…lower right. Unused. No expiration date.

We go on a leadership retreat. But a leadership retreat sounds like leaders are running in the wrong direction.

What if you were to go on a….

Personal Leadership Advance.

Personal Leadership Jamboree.

Personal Leadership Festival.

Personal Leadership Workout.

Personal Leadership Celebration.

Note: That photo of a 1983 Disney Cast Member Comp ticket…notice the Parks available to enter? Magic Kingdom, Epcot Center, Disneyland. None of the others had been built yet. No Disney’s Hollywood Studios (1989). No Disney’s Animal Kingdom (1998). No Disney’s California Adventure (2001).

This website is about our HOME. This is the fifth of five daily, differently-themed blog posts about: (1) mind, (2) body, (3) spirit, (4) work, (5) home. To return to Mid Life Celebration, the site about MIND, click here.

Ain’t much in there

Simple is common sense. Common sense is elusive. Regret is our proof that common sense is elusive.

The many iterations of the seven Disney Business Books’ titles and table of contents is fascinating.

The content is rock solid. Unchanging.

How it is presented is being iterated as we speak (type/write).

Always has been a period

winston Churchill quote — The more things change, the more they stay the same. Winston Churchill said this 80+ years ago. Perhaps every generation gets one or two “this is the worst thing that’s ever happened to our planet, we’re doomed.”

‘Tis always a period of consequences.

Some consequences are bigger than others.

And some consequences are a matter of life and death.

Here’s an inconvenient truth: Balance is not a myth.

MInd.

Body.

Spirit.

Work.

Home.

You’ve set the highest bar for each and every one?

Awesome.

Home envy

Massage Envy form — Only days away from final treatment…depending on what happens between Nov 7, 2021 and March 1, 2022.

To put closure (hopefully) on Massage Envy’s “illegal” contract practice, i hope to end this topic today.

Should also mention that in the 26 months (2+ years) that ME collected $60 monthly, there was never an email, “Hey Jeff, we’ve noticed it’s been awhile since you last visited, can we help you in any way?”

You know the minute a single monthly charge doesn’t go through, the emails auto send to the membership owner, and continue until the company gets their payment process rectified.

This has been so therapeutic to write today.

Mystique, the store manager, helped me from the beginning, yet was limited by the franchisee, Tomer.Taggart@massageenvy.com directive to not, as a minimum, meet me half way.

Backstage peek: Almost told Massage Envy to keep the $2,700+ balance (me and Cheryl combined) and i would simply cancel and walk away.

Shout out to Mystique who had enough leadership muscle to sway me to accept Cheryl’s (eventual, thanks to my persistence) $1,150 refund check, and, let my $1,560 credit balance ride until Covid-19 is no longer an issue.

Where once ME was the only local game in town, seven miles away, there is now Hand & Stone less than two miles away.

Point to it on a map?

man standing by blue wall with map — You are “here”.

Talking trash.

Everyone is in one of three places:

Going through a hell no one knows about.
Just came out of a hell no one knew about.
Unaware, yet about to go into a hell no one will know about.

Some of us, myself included, are in more than one of these three places.

Feeling edgy with today’s posts. Could easily be edgier. Today is mild-edgy. It’s lonely to have the highest bar set for mind, body, spirit, work, and home.

To whom much has been given, much is required.

There is solace knowing these blogs are publicly private.
