It was not supposed to last

See my comment? Note: i occasionally ask myself, “Why do you continue to write 5-a-day?” The answer is always, “Because i can’t imagine life without daily writing.”

October 25, 2019, today.

Some thoughts generated from the photo above.

10 years, seven months

5 daily, differently-themed blog posts

mind, body, spirit, work, home

Never missing a single day

It was to last 100 days

Needed writing practice for my first book

How it morphed to 3,860+ days (and counting) is a mystery

If it’s not impossible, i’m out

If Disney Ran Your Life Podcast in Kuwait
i invited Jody to Kuwait with one goal – to record Episode one of Season 3 – the official launch of If Disney Ran Your Life podcast.

If it’s not impossible, i’m out.

Who says that?

No one we know, right?

Ok, maybe there’s that one nut-job of a person.

Thank goodness.

Being a category of one is the new wealth

Top comment specifically uses the word “freedom”.

It’s possible to read between the lines, however, it’s all speculation.

Balancing humility with strength is challenging

Disney Keynote Speaker jeff noel
Most executives are easily distracted by bright, shiny things.

 

Dear Company Executive,

Do you trust your gut?

Me too.

May i remind you…

Recently, you received the gift of gut reactions from the only person (me) that confronted you when none of your inner-circle did, even though they had ample opportunities. And i did it quickly, after a single encounter with you.

So you know first hand how incredibly powerful my gut (and courage for confrontation) is.

First, here are the key snippets from a sterotypical Executive Coach’s website:

 

  1. “I have also earned the Master Certified Coach (MCC) designation from the International Coaching Federation.”
  2. “Less than 5% of all professional coaches worldwide hold this designation.”
  3. “The primary significance of this for my leaders is that a) I have done a ton of coaching, and b) I have been judged by my peers as meeting the highest standards of the coaching profession.”

 

Now, i’m gonna dissect my gut reactions based on the three points above.

 

Sentence 1:  Sounds impressive, and she needs to sound impressive. She’s sunk if she can’t sound impressive. Period.

Sentence 2:  The wow-factor, top of her industry. This was a purchased opportunity, like an MBA or a PhD. She needs the wow factor.

Sentence 3:  Like “going-the-extra-mile” is a flawed proposition, this sentence reveals something inexperienced CEO’s will never know. Disney has a standard of excellence that no one can comprehend, except those who spent a lifetime there…that’s 30 years for me, my Executive friend. i’ve literally seen it all, at every level. From Michael Eisner and Frank Wells to brand new Custodial Hosts and Hostesses (janitors).
