Show and tell?

Disney keynote speaker Jeff Noel on stage with two audience members
You can talk the insight or you can show them the insight. Here i am showing the 400-person audience the insight about ‘displaying appropriate body language’. Invited two audience volunteers onstage to help.

Chief of Staff (Walt & Roy vibe)…CTO (Chief Thinking Officer)

Assumptions:

  1. Finally feel like CEO (congrats)
  2. Enormous growth (personal ambition)
  3. Cabinet rebuild (bench health?)

Critical, timeless truths:

  1. Vision-less CEO’s are unheard of
  2. Growth dilutes culture
  3. Culture = organizational health-grade

Your coaching priorities:

  1. Push you to .think .differently
  2. Be a sounding board
  3. Be a better leader

Tactics:

  • Monthly onsite
  • Weekly calls
  • CIP Fanatics

SWOT:

Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats (to be determined)

Reckoning?

Day of reckoning?

Yes.

In a perfect world, this will be painless.

Straightforward.

No-brainer.

Deal or no deal.

Integrity.

Behaving admirably.

For the greater good.

Urgent vs Important

The AquaDuck, a waterslide, goes out over the ship’s edge. Insanely unconventional. The audacity. The perfect audacity.

The perfect audacity.

  • .think .differently
  • Have fun
  • Lean into discomfort
  • Take risks
  • Envision a future not only better than now, but much better
  • 80 and go
  • The way to begin is to quit talking and begin doing. – Walt
  • Over-focus on HR
  • By design, to operationalize culture: Hire, train, inspire, value
  • BTL 2.0
  • Leaders • Employees • Customers • Reputation • Improvement
  • 2020 = Year of The Nurse
  • 2020 = Year of The Nursing Way
  • Be amazed and be amazing.

Worth noting

No divas, no heros, all teamwork for a common goal.

Worth noting these things that don’t fit on a simple one-page business contract:

  • 9-hour days include one-hour lunch and one-hour admin time
  • a scribe is welcome in every meeting, i take notes only for me
  • you will schedule rooms, times, people, scribe, flip charts, notepads, pens, and any other admin activities you see fit
  • creative and fun collaboration between your entire organization and me is crucial to progress
  • an expectations document needs to be drafted and approved on both sides, before work begins…this is my contribution to it,
  • new structure and processes for BTL 2.0 are required
  • communication expectations between you and me are perhaps key
  • bonus eligibility (paid January 2021) up to 100% of original contract fee

Do you understand your Next + ?

Do you understand your Next + ?

So your Next is your big, multi-year goal/vision. It’s as big a goal or vision as you can ever dream up.

Super-hero big.

My first Next, at age 50, was a 10-year vision to do everything in life i wanted to do if i only lived to my 60th birthday.

Now, at 60, there’s a new Next.

It’s a three-year Next, taking me to my 63rd birthday.

The + is a wild card, diamond in the rough kind of karma.

It’s an accentuated risk taking commitment.

It’s a burn the ships commitment.

It is helping me process a potentially lucrative contract against the work-focus that will be required.

With only 2.5 years left in this Next, a lucrative deal has to be something that happens in the next few days and something that signals to me that the CEO is burning the ships.

The potential to transform a company and the industry they service is intoxicating.

But, and this is a huge but (no pun intended), 99% CEO commitment won’t work.
