Nice way to start today.

It’s a cold (26) Baltimore morning on the hotel’s 10th floor. The sunrise view is beautiful from our large window.

One of the amazing benefits of being over-focused has been on the intentionality behind me designing a business model that allows working from anywhere to be as easy as working from home.

You can observe a lot by watching.

Leadership Commitment challenges

to do list for graphic design
These are graphic design to-do’s.

Leadership commitment challenges has a different context here than it does at Lane8.org (today). 

The context here is how you lead after the honeymoon effect wears off. There’s always excitement and high hopes when things are new and shiny. We easily rise to the occasion; whether it’s a promotion, a new initiative being rolled out, a corporate merger that is supposed to enhance both cultures into a better, and unified, one.

But eventually and predictably, things are harder and take longer than estimated.

When we grow weary, and the people we lead grow weary, how do we continue to show up with a Day One enthusiasm?

Of course it’s challenging to sustain Day One energy, focus, creativity, and excitement over the long haul (a lifetime?).

Yet this is the essence of great leadership.

Unwavering belief.

And the ability to excite, inspire, and motivate others as if it’s Day One, every day.

Email welcome to jeff noel’s Podcast

Disney Podcast with jeff noel
Continuously improve: Just realized i need to craft a welcome to the podcast and thanks for signing up email. Good thing i love to write and am decently organized, thanks to Disney wisdom.

Email welcome to jeff noel’s Podcast:

Happy present moment, ________.

Welcome to a unique community of motivated and curious people. Congratulations on taking the risk. You’ll thank yourself later.

Bold statement? Sure. Walt Disney was bold. He’s inspired many dreamers to be bold. But for now, let us be the first to say, “Thanks.”

Why?

Among your most valuable assets in your life is your time and attention.

Choosing to invest your time and attention here is a gift to yourself.

How?

We all struggle to find peace and contentment in a busy, noisy, crowded world—a world full of people jumping up and down, hands raised high, shouting “Pick me, pick me!” In reality, you’ve picked yourself.

To invest 15 minutes every Friday to have fun, .think .differently, and (gently) lean into discomfort is a powerful and wise choice.

It would not be inappropriate to high five yourself right now.

When was the last time you high-fived yourself?

Thanks for investing three seconds to have fun and lean into discomfort.

Finally, a reminder that just below your conscious awareness, you can envision your future being better than now, and not only better than now, but much better.

Please know we’ll work hard to keep future emails shorter than this one – just enough words to tee up the newest If Disney Ran Your Life episode.

Be amazed and be amazing.

Episode 2: If Disney Ran Your Life

If Disney Ran Your Life Podcast with jeff noel.

Episode 2: If Disney Ran Your Life.

Show notes from Jody Maberry.

Dates are important in your culture. Whether it is your family culture or your organizational culture. 

On January 25, 1982, I began my career with Disney. On January 25, 2019, I launched my podcast. 
 
If you can pick a date and tie it to something meaningful. You have a better chance of remembering it. 
 
During this episode, I will explain how Disney has used dates to build stories and celebrate new beginnings. 
 
We all have the same calendar, but you can use dates to .think .differently
 
To be the best is difficult. To be different is easy. But it requires intentionality and risk-taking. 
 
Make the calendar part of your story.
 
Year over year, you will be reminded of victories, defeats, accomplishments, and anniversaries as these dates become part of your story and culture.
