intentional – Disney Creativity and Innovation Keynote Speaker

Hello transformation

Less than 24 hours ago. My favorite rock band of all time. Led Zeppelin’s fourth album (untitled) was the first album i owned. i was 12, maybe 13. It was a Christmas present from my same-age cousin, Redwood.

Hello?

Yes, of course.

Hello, CEO of You, Inc.

Go!

Go do your amazing end of life planning, structure, and process.

Blaze a transformative trail that doesn’t exist.

Note: Perhaps one day it will.

Saying yes means no

7-second video: Leftover baked Ziti is awaiting me and my family. Windows open. A/C off. Magic Kingdom fireworks soon.

Saying yes means saying no to something else.

Blessing or curse?

Depends.

The key to this conundrum is being intentional.

Intentionality depends on focus and discipline.

Focus and discipline is fueled by prioritized goals.

Personal vibrancy demands that you reach higher, care more, think deeper, and work harder.

Status quo, dogma, and tradition must be eliminated from your decision making.

Happy present moment.

Todays blogs took all day to write.

Why?

Blogging isn’t the only priority on my daily radar. Today is a Sunday. We visited neighbors until nearly midnight last night.

No rush to jump out of bed on this Sunday.

Private property

three people playing a card game — July 4th. We have intentionally helped these three stay connected every summer. They met in 9th grade Latin class. This Summer will be the 6th consecutive year hiking Glacier.

Over focus on the same things you used to under focus on or ignore.

IDD.

Intention deficit disorder.

Being intentional is a superpower.

i often wonder if my dad, or some leader early in my Disney career, would’ve told me to be super-intentional when i was younger, (decades younger than i am now), how that might have changed the trajectory of where i am now.

Obsessively assessing and developing?

Steve Jobs — Do NOT use historical figures in the following exercise…

Let us check for grade accountability with five questions. Each question should be answered only from the leaders you personally know. Do not use historical figures nor movie characters, nor people your friends work for.

Who is the most intentional leader you personally know who over-focuses on consistently demonstrating the best leadership behaviors?
Who is the most intentional leader who over-focuses on operationalizing your employee culture through your organization’s heritage and traditions, traits and behaviors, language and symbols, and shared values?
Who is the most intentional leader who over-focuses on continuously exceeding your customer’s expectations?
Who is the most intentional leader who over-focuses on making their profession a remarkable art form?
Who is the most intentional leader who over-focuses on continuously thinking inside the box?

Home, by design or by default?

GNP. Cheryl worked full-time two Summers ago when this photo was taken, she didn’t retire until Valentine’s Day this year.

Establishing a home routine is the same as not establishing a home routine. The first routine is established by design, the second, by default.
