Tip of the admin iceberg

Unsolicited sales calls — As they walked away from our garage while i came around the opposite end of the house, i was startled and my blood rushed through my veins. What were they doing at our house without making their presence known?

Three admin issues i dealt with yesterday:

Photo #1: A fantastic Disney Institute (DI) colleague who left DI to contribute at DU (Disney University), is having a “party” in his honor today at 3PM and i’ll be on a plane to Chicago. Not only can’t i be there physically, but a call is also out. He’s been hired by Universal Studios who wants to tap into his 22 years at Disney.

Photos #2-3: An outdoorsman is trained to read his surroundings. Many times it’s simply routine and sometimes it’s a potential matter of survival. The second time i saw the suspicious person, i paused my day and did what any great survivalist would do, make certain he wasn’t a threat to our neighborhood. The first time i saw him he was hours earlier and a mile away at the grocery store and he stood out to me then too.

Photo #4: At dusk, some final yard work. Funny, that white SUV parked by our mailbox was 100% out of place so i watched. It never moved. As i walked some items to the curb for today’s pickup, i was startled to see two adults walking away from our garage. The photo of them was intended to put them on the defensive. i was on defense from not knowing their motive. They knew why they were there but i didn’t. i needed to dilute their advantage and put them on defense. And in the wilderness example, i was potentially vulnerable. i quickly gained an offensive position with a photo of their faces. They were Real Estate agents soliciting business. It ended well (including hugs), but in the moment, i had to follow the survivalist instinct.

I continue to read your blogs for a few reasons

I continue to read your blogs for a few reasons:

1. Your blogs reinforce ideas I have had.

Example: A while ago (I don’t remember the date or blog) you wrote something along the lines of “If you have uncommon self-awareness, walk softly because it can be intimidating to others.” I feel this is synonymous with something else you wrote, “Demonstrate (invisibly) world-class habits that deliver world-class results.” I have always had ambitious goals, but my steps forward are humble and typically unnoticed by others, which is okay because at some point these steps will be.

2. Your blogs introduce ideas I’ve never thought of before.

Example: I believe one purpose I have in life is to help others live their dreams. I want to do this on an individual level (break old habits, teach new skills), and I also want to do this on a larger, organizational scale (increase customer satisfaction, employee job satisfaction, and productivity). You provide a lot of useful information on your blogs about organizational culture that I take notes on, such as thinking inside the box.

3. They are refreshing.

I have been reading hundreds of research journal articles this year, so I know that after 2pm I can take a short break from sifting through a bunch of crap and just read the good (honest) stuff.

Cheers

The Magic of daily, uncompromising commitment

Disney Customer Service Summit 2016 — Do i miss it?

While falling asleep last night, the Epcot and Magic Kingdom fireworks explosions were loud and long.

Made me smile.

It’s a 365 day a year occurrence.

Never missing a day.

Like writing five daily, differently-themed blogs, sorta.

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.

Inconvenient, but it could have been worse

Pool filter — Just before you go away for 8 days, challenges that must be fixed to eliminate bigger challenges when you return.

Inconvenient, but it could have been worse. Always prepare well in advance – at least a couple days – to get your home in order before an eight-day trip.

Leaving a pool without circulation for eight days would be a disaster in Florida’s August heat.
