In the absence of a current coach, do not underestimate self coaching

In the absence of a current coach, do not underestimate self coaching.

Wait, self coaching means we have to look a bit egotiscial.

Or, we could quietly beat ourselves up.

Or… we could put positive things in writing.

As a wonderfully humble reminder.

Say from a blog or something.

I’ve known many Disney Cast Members over the years, and I don’t think I know of anyone more genuine, more real, than Jeff Noel. Because of his integrity, he is one of the few people who can afford to be transparent. He simply is who he says he is, and that’s a wonderful thing for all around him. While our paths have moved in separate directions, I consider him a friend, and consider myself blessed for having known him. He is a Disney legacy. He is what Disney should always be about. Congratulations Jeff

We all have a private folder containing nice, written customer compliments and cards, or wonderful notes from coworkers or family, etc.

And no one ever sees it except us.

What happened the last time we did this?

When was the last time we took a serious, professional inventory of where we are in our career and where we want to go?

And when we did this exercise, did it frighten us or set us on fire with possibility?

If simple pleasures bring enormous gratitude, why don’t we do more of them?

Take pictures.

Go for a walk.

Enjoy the solitude of nature just before sunrise.

Oh wait, we have a real job with lots of pressure and responsibility.

Ok, let’s just wait until we retire to do the cool, daily, little things.

Right?

How many people can honestly say they worked their entire career without having weekend days as normal and consistent days off?

Looking forward to spending Sunday afternoon and evening (working) at Walt Disney World.
