Disney Creativity and Innovation Keynote Speaker
One million+ people globally while at Disney Institute.
Professional Speaker.
Know what that means? Duh, right? Public speaker who gets paid…blah, blah, blah.
It means there are people who’s job is to give speeches. Everyday.
In front of people. Sometimes a dozen, or several dozen. Sometimes a thousand, or several thousand.
And some of them really try to be so good at what they do (same as a parent, nurse, chef, etc) that their speech may actually start to change the world.
You know how I know this? I’m one of them. Happy day. Carpe diem.
What motivates and inspires people to take action? Words, and phrases.

How do I know?
Because, think about it, if the fear of living wasn’t our biggest fear, why was this phrase – carpe diem – invented?
Carpe diem translates to: “While we’re talking, envious time is fleeing: seize the day, put no trust in the future.”
Who needs a coach? Do you need a coach? Pretty sure I need a coach. In fact, after listening to Google CEO Eric Schmidt, I’m convinced.
Why?
Listen to Google CEO, Eric Schmidt, talk briefly, but accurately, about why people need a coach, and decide for yourself.
Good luck. Well, actually, luck has nothing to do with it. At least not until you have put in some serious effort. Then luck starts to work in your favor, but not before. Carpe diem.
Everything can’t be important. Period. It can’t be.
What’s a person to do? I mean, to sort through it all and come out with a prioritized list?
Here’s what I did:
While it ain’t perfect, it is light years ahead of my old daily structure. Life is a journey.
