After it got dark last night, we decided to go to Epcot for dinner at Japan’s Katsura Cafe. Counter service, fast, convenient, and a healthy, almost three-mile roundtrip walk.
Heavily motivated to take jungle jeff’s mind off of the fact that the first keynote speaking check should arrive with the mail. The wait was “killing him”.
The wonderfully cool evening air and mild attendance made it a wonderful distraction that paid off when we arrived home.
On a side note, Face Timed Cheryl at Disneyland (she’s there working for 10 days) and she got to see the opening of the envelope. A catalytic milestone earning the same fee Disney Institute commands.
During yesterday’s speech there was a moment where recognition was highlighted. And in the moment, raced to the back corner of the stage and grabbed from the small backpack the world’s best leadership book, Creating Magic: Ten Common Sense Leadership Strategies From A Life At Disney, by Lee Cockerell.
Told the Fortune 150 audience that the only reason i was standing in front of them now was because of Lee Cockerell.
Not a hard sell. Rather a seed planted for them on their executive leadership journey. And a small attempt to repay Lee for my biggest post Disney career break.
Insight: Was organized enough to have the book handy should an opportunity present itself.
Are you working on something important but feel like giving up? What is the only thing that allows us to persevere in the face of long-term adversity?
It’s different for each of us, which is why we struggle. We want the fail-safe recipe for success.
In a nutshell, here’s your best clue for your fail-safe recipe. It revolves around motivation and patience.
In preparation for Mid Life Celebration’s first catalytic leadership keynote speech featuring The Disney Way, the client sent an incredibly valuable packet of Company and event information.
It only took six years.
Not for the UPS package, for Mid Life Celebration’s first paid speaking engagement.
Six years.
Who waits that long?
A patient person with a clear, concise, and compelling vision.
