Executive Resource bottomline

Disney speaker Jeff noel's .think .differently slide — My brand is ‘hope’. You cannot hope for better results while thinking and doing what you already know how to do. Better is never guaranteed. Creativity carries no guarantee. You must insist on doing things that may not work. You must hope that they work out as well, or better than, you envisioned.

Executive Resource DNA:

If your goal isn’t impossible, you’re not reaching high enough.

Only you

Bob Iger with Jeff Noel from Disney Institute, circa 2005 — When you are part of a company, you follow orders. When you own the company, you call the shots.

It took me nearly six decades to realize that i should only being doing what only i can do.

It’s a common ‘leadership text book’ theory.

Yet until you are in charge of your fate, you’ll never know what it means.

i’m in a place where if i now get asked (by someone who’s paying me) to do something someone else can do, i have the rare option to offer them their money back.

Why?

Because i refuse to do something that others can do.

i recently renamed my line of work from Executive Coach to Executive Resource. Why?

Because i bring something to the table no one else brings. Disney experience, Disney wisdom, Disney insight and Disney mastery. This is my super-power. This is what i get paid for.

Note: Undoubtedly, with everything else, there’s someone far more expert than me.

Writing today’s blogs has been therapeutic and cathartic. Today’s blogs have also been strategic. They’ve reframed that i need to move from verbal explanations to a one-page (if possible) written summary. Why? To scale the onslaught of requests, from previous clients, for this type of work (resource).

Who doesn’t love a funny person?

Laughter affects everyone, not just the person addicted to it.
