Beer with Jesus

Apple Music album song list — Last song…

What would you ask Jesus if you could have a sit down with him?
Thomas Rhett

Can’t believe the first time hearing this song was yesterday.

Dude, happy 52nd birthday

Walt Disney World's Eyes and Ears — Can’t fathom being there on the first anniversary. Wait, yes i can.

Who am i being that others do not see incredible possibility?
dad

Fifty-two years of Walt Disney World Magic.

October 1, 1971.

Yesterday was the anniversary.

Intentionally waited.

Why?

Because few remember.

Fewer still, care.

And there’s FOMO.

If you don’t act smart on the specific day odds are you’ll miss your opportunity to look smart – a fan-boy as they say.

Seeing the Magic Kingdom fireworks nightly (year after year) is my thought.

You can’t live less than a mile from WDW and have 66 combined years of service under your roof and not know what yesterday is.

Post Op Day 14, home

Luxury resort staircase — Just like home.

Luxury resort — This side does not get nightly Magic Kingdom fireworks. Probably never an issue. (Of course it is…how could it not).

Every day is Super Bowl Sunday at Disney. Transfer that to your priorities and see what happens.

How much more valuable are priorities when they are prioritized?

Spoon-fed?

If i tell you the answer, you’ll never remember. If i help you discover it for yourself, you’ll never forget
dad

What’s the difference between an important priority and a good priority?

Bottomline answer is, “The quality of your life”!

No one is eminently qualified to tell another what their priorities need to be.

However, there are some rare people who can point you to true north for personal (and organizational) vibrancy.

Consider yourself blessed beyond measure if you are friends with one.

Put your health before work or put work before health?

No brainer, eh?

Or is it?

An overwhelming number of executives forgo their health (moving, sleeping, nutrition) because their ‘work’ time/availability is so incredibly demanded.

Immediately after scheduling next week’s third followup eye exam before leaving the office, i walked to the car and called an executive coaching client.

i was late for work and had texted the CEO with a heads up at 8:45AM.

In a perfect world, today’s 8:20AM appointment would be finished by 9:00AM. And after all, arriving at 7:40AM (40 mins early) should easily facilitate all the office paperwork so that i can be ready in the exam room early.

i was 15 minutes late for the call.

And…

Was intentionally prepared, by design, to do the call in the car, in the parking lot. Why? To be on time for our standing 9:00AM call.

Backstage in “jeff-Land” is like backstage literally everywhere – interesting, surprising, and decently straightforward.

Here is the list of the weekly call’s prepared questions.

Love getting inspiring texts from you. Do you know why?

Take me on a tour of your organization 5 yrs from now?

Why do companies (why does your company) struggle with recognition?

Why do companies (and your company) struggle with attracting the best talent?

Why do CEO’s get frustrated?

How do they fix it?

How important are work relationships?

Where are relationships better…hurried or not so hurried?

Slowing down to speed up example…10 reps…

What if instead of me identifying the reps, you told me the reps….or, we each did 5?

Or…you did three and I do 1 (or 2).

Would you want to report to yourself? Why?

Note: Sharing the questions as a blogging state-change, an unexpected backstage peek.
