Leaving a trail for our son – Page 8 – Disney Creativity and Innovation Keynote Speaker

And when you’re not?

15-second video: Taking a stroll through the old stomping grounds.

8-second video: So much “work” goodness yesterday. Working from anywhere. Met Jill at a keynote speech at DU (Deloitte University), in Texas, in 2018.

5-second video: Sent to an international client 2 hours before our call.

7-second video: Heard and then “inspected” a commotion while exiting The Hub. This is a Magic Moment that happens every day at Casey’s Corner opening. Been in place for years. The other tool is a ‘Take-5’, which is organic, unplanned and spontaneous, no script.

Disney strollers — There’s a story here.

13-second video: Used the secret Cast Member handshake to get this close-up access.

6-second video: 75 degrees at lunch time, late Winter. Hometown vibe.

What’s your life like when you’re not doing what makes you come alive?
dad

My two favorite places on Earth are my back porch and my front porch. Curiously, when asking others their favorite places in the world, can’t recall anyone saying it’s where they live. The places they describe are places that they visit once a year or once every so many years. It reminds me what life is like when you’re in your favorite place on the planet. Which is awesome, right!? Then it makes me wonder what life is like when not in your favorite place.

What makes you come alive when you’re not in your favorite place(s)?

Is once a year or once every couple years good enough for you?

And then the crazy questions…

Is it possible to feel like you are in your most favorite place everyday, day after day….for a lifetime?

Is it possible for once a year or once every few years to feel like a bullseye?

Ask the catalytic questions

Ask the catalytic questions. Answer like a shaman.

Does every leader in your organization consider themselves in charge of creativity and innovation?

What brings you joy at home?

Having priorities is a great start. Prioritizing them leads you to personal vibrancy.
dad

Two questions:

What’s working for me that i’d be crazy to discard?

What’s not working for me that i’d be crazy to keep?

Bonus insight: Everything takes longer than planned. Please don’t fret if you still have unwanted tension in your life. Patience is virtue. So is surrender, forgiveness, and hope.

Neglecting prioritization

High school cheering sign — Florida Class 3A boy’s basketball state championship game last night.

14-second video: 11am client call yesterday. Shot video afterwards to support the wild location claim.

Reaping what you sow should inspire you.
dad

C-suite leaders who admire Disney’s business model love talking to me.

Why?

How could they not?!

Ps. This post’s title, “neglecting prioritization”, is intended to remind me that decisions determine everything. The most important home decision is to prioritize your priorities.
