Five daily blogs about life's 5 big choices on five different sites.
Retired Disney Institute Keynote Speaker and Prolific Blogger. Five daily, differently-themed personal blogs (about life's 5 big choices) on five interconnected sites.
Watching an engaging, dynamic, commanding speaker is awesome.
An executive shared she recently attended one of the best Universities in the world for an executive conference.
The art of exciting, inspiring, and motivating a tough (seasoned, with very high expectations) audience is indeed rare, hence valuable.
Like rare art, worth every penny you pay for it – assuming you can find the authentic piece.
She had not.

Letting go may be the only way to enlightened leadership.
Many folks are great managers, managing things, projects, teams.
Then there’s this notion of leading people, not managing them – but leading them to a place where they’ve never been before.
And then the process begins – to establish a consistent, new normal and improve upon that – what was once viewed as impossible.
The key is removing any barrier inhibiting our complete surrender to any personal agenda.
This is a battle over self first, before it will work to transform business.

Ever have a moment where you feel like the richest clown in Babylon?
Yes, clown.
People are suspect who are no longer convinced that climbing the proverbial corporate ladder is the natural best choice.
Those suspects might also be (or become) rich.
Suspect because they seem to lack ambition, which is often not true.
Rich because they are so calmly focused on what brings themselves joy that they also richly bless their audience with joy.
Or so I’ve been told.

Flippin’ amazing, just like she had hoped. Like the prediction yesterday, the desire to be flippin’ amazing paid off.

We know this, no?

As our patience grows in our impatient world, we become better leaders.
In a world touting fierce, fiery, impatient leaders (think Hell’s Kitchen), we are perversely led to believe that this behavior is gutsy and commanding.
Commanding yes. Gutsy, no.
What’s gutsy is laying down our weapons (bossiness, position power, fear), and using love.
Gandhi, Martin Luther King Jr, Mother Teresa, The Dalai Lama.
We may never understand this.
Lack of understanding never diminishes it’s secret power.
