Blog – Disney Creativity and Innovation Keynote Speaker

Once you’re a parent

Disney speaker jeff noel in mountains — Continental Divide from a seldom-visited hiker spot. This spot is also one of my most frequently visited, favorite spots. You can easily spot Bishops Cap from about a third of the way across the left horizon.

Is parenting an entitlement? For most, yes. For some, nope.

We’re here to teach for our kids.

To teach our son, i use the same three tools i use in my professional teaching career.

Note: Not everything your child needs to learn is going to be something you can teach them. However, you can teach them how to teach themselves. Teach them how to learn, how to be creative, how to take risks, and how to persevere.

Your vision map

Disney Pixar toy figurines in the mountains — From 2020 during Covid. Everything to the left (the East) was closed that year. Roughly 500,000 acres. Photo from the Continental Divide at 7,500′.

Mountain — Also from Covid in 2020. The picture, to me, makes it look impossible to summit from this side. Have actually soloed this summit after only two previous summits led by Steve and Stacy Wahlberg.

Your vision is your map. Your actions are your integrity.

To know is to do. To know and not do is to not yet know.

Balance life’s HQ books

Abraham Lincoln memorial — A regional highlight.

Stuffed toy animal on the floor — Scene at the airport. Random.

Auntie Ann’s store — Not a pro-level dinner, but it served the purpose last night before catching a Lyft.

You are free to make your own decisions. Ensure you can live with them.
dad

Habits are what we think and do without thinking.

Balancing under-focusing against over-focusing should be overwhelming, 0% vs 100%.

The book of your life is entitled, CEO of Me, Inc.

The easy answer is hard

Cody Johnson music video — In just two years, 86-million views (bottom left corner). This is the song i linked to two posts back today in “Balance my books“.

i exist to help outliers conquer their fears.
dad

Most humans are afraid to pursue personal vibrancy.

Most organizations are afraid to pursue organizational vibrancy.

Why?

How much time do you have?

Actually, it won’t take long to explain it.

Why?

“Herd mentality”!
