Disney Creativity and Innovation Keynote Speaker
One million+ people globally while at Disney Institute.
To be able to live so close to Disney and to be able to do work that matters is an extraordinary blessing that i am constantly mindful of.

One of the biggest tasks before retirement was organizing all the personal files from 30 years of service.
Many of those files now digital.
To help process the reality of this life altering choice, every calendar entry and every contact was deleted.
It’s the same process we go through when we buy a new cell phone – erase all the data off the old device.
But in this case, there’s no iCloud backup.
Thank goodness this day had been six years in the making.
Today is day 33 of retirement. Busy as ever. Who would have thought time would still feel limited?

Let it ride or be intentional? You only retire once, so our experience is zero. Sure, we attend a few retirement parties, but we never paid attention to how they get planned and executed. Who determines the attendees, the menu, the venue, the vibe?
Just leave it all alone, or get involved?
Also personally invited the Cast Member here.

Note: Richard and Claudine were on the original invite list, but challenging to reach via traditional measures. Face-to-face got it done.

Today begins day four of the first workweek as a retiree.
There was a fair amount of catchup work to do because the actual date only left 25 days notice.
Add in travel, a big work load, and a pressing deadline and you have the perfect recipe for the paperwork of life to pile up quickly.
Made a big dent in the pile yesterday.
Goal for today – eliminate any remaining pile.
The daily work required to free ourselves up from the burden of work left undone is insidiously draining.

Plans have changed?
Brought the hat in ‘to hang it up after 30 years’.
Boss was out of the office unexpectedly.
So the plan changed.
Never intended to leave wearing it.
Perhaps it’s a (fantastic) sign.
Yes, final answer.
Sure feels good.
