Telling the truth is art

In the Orange County Public hearing room, hung works of art, like this painting.

 

Telling the truth is art.

On the way home from the public hearing yesterday, a Consultant friend (and former Disney colleague) called asking for advice. i pulled over and enabled hands-free conversation and then resumed the drive on Interstate 4.

One of the things Betsy said she counts on from me is that she always knows i will tell the truth. She really needs the truth as she is about to make life-altering decisions. Decisions that are not easy, and that don’t come with any guarantee.

On April Fool’s Day 2009, jeff noel began writing five daily, differently-themed blogs (on five different sites). It was to be a 100-day self-imposed “writer’s bootcamp”, in preparation for writing his first book. He hasn’t missed a single day since.

.think .differently has always been my brand.

.think .differently

It was inspired as a child and the revelation came after i was asked by a CEO, what are you really great at.

It’s flattering to see other world-class organizations adopting the phrase.

Tired or uninspired, that is the question

Insight about personal ambition
From Facebook yesterday.

 

This blog is about HQ, which is another way of saying, home.

Your home.

The place were you dwell.

Where you keep all your stuff.

The paperwork of life.

HQ.

Head Quarters.

You are the CEO of You, Inc.

Disney taught me balance is essential at work

Best Disney Institute Keynote Speakers
Without a home screen like this one, there no way to know who’s phone it is should it ever become lost.

 

Disney taught me balance is essential at work:

1. Leaders
2. Employees
3 Customers
4. Reputation (brand)
5. Improvement (innovation)

After two decades of not being able to find a personal role model there, i spent my final decade figuring it out on my own.

1. Mind
2. Body
3. Spirit
4. Work
5. Home

Personal leadership BFO (blinding flash of the obvious):

Life is hard.

If we can’t lead ourselves well, odds are low we’ll be able to lead others well.

What if hearing your alarm clock go off this morning sounded like music to your ears?

Balance is not a myth.

Nothing should prevent us from this aim

Two days ago (top center) we enjoyed Epcot.

 

Decently organized and perfectly organized are two different things. However, nothing should stop us from aiming for perfection and settling for excellence. Nothing.
