Patience is personal leadership strength

UPS Overnight delivery envelope.
This was waiting when we returned from Disney’s Animal Kingdom Park yesterday.

 

Are you working on something important but feel like giving up? What is the only thing that allows us to persevere in the face of long-term adversity?

It’s different for each of us, which is why we struggle. We want the fail-safe recipe for success.

In a nutshell, here’s your best clue for your fail-safe recipe. It revolves around motivation and patience.

In preparation for Mid Life Celebration’s first catalytic leadership keynote speech featuring The Disney Way, the client sent an incredibly valuable packet of Company and event information.

It only took six years.

Not for the UPS package, for Mid Life Celebration’s first paid speaking engagement.

Six years.

Who waits that long?

A patient person with a clear, concise, and compelling vision.

Are we organized enough to design a meaningful culture?

EPCOT's World Showcase Promenade.
Walt Disney drew the first notion of “EPCOT” on a cocktail napkin. Is this relevant to employees?

 

Are we organized enough to find time:

  • To recognize something as significant
  • To add it in one of three big buckets: past, present, or future
  • To remember milestone dates
  • To evaluate the the value of a milestone
  • To decide which milestones to keep and which to discard
  • To prioritize milestones and their impact on your culture

Yesterday, January 24, 2015 was the second anniversary of a tragic moment for a friend and co-worker. Why significant? In 55 years, it was the first time personally knowing a suicide victim. It was the place, method and motive that made the world stop turning that morning at 8:47am.

Similiar in shock effect to September 11, 2001.

It’s our job as the chief executive

Our mind, body and spirit are our responsibility.

As challenging as it is to manage this for a lifetime, we really can not expect things to get better or easier by using procrastination or quitting.

Seriously. Can we?

Life’s a bitch full of challenges.

This also is not a secret.

And it’s our job to be the exception.

Chance favors these people and always has

Orlando Leadership Disney Keynote Speakers

 

Orlando Leadership Disney Keynote Speakers

 

(photos: WordPress Word Camps happen across the globe. They will never have a Disney insider speak to them about how to run their business differently.)

Chance favors the prepared person.

When Mid Life Celebration incorporated January 1, 2009, the opportunity to purchase a Disney Institute (DI) keynote speech for a large (or any size actually), important conference seemed like it would always be a meeting or event planner’s option.

No longer.

DI has grown and adapted to the marketplace and the market place is requesting deeper and longer engagements.

This makes the single, one-off Disney keynote speech option obsolete.

In layman’s terms DI has evolved into delivering quality, long term engagements over quantity (60-90 minute one-time keynotes), meaning they have fewer clients – yet they are busier than ever because of the broad and deep level of engagement with those clients.

Never saw this coming.

Am delighted, though, to be in the midst of this moment in time.

Call or email if you are interested in a Disney keynote speech without having to invest hundreds of thousands (at a minimum) of dollars.
