Excuses – Page 2 – Disney Brand Loyalty Keynote Speaker

Change your scripts and you change your results

Disney Customer Service Speakers — One of 2017’s Writer’s Retreat locations.

Often in business, our decision is driven by price.

Sometimes, like yesterday, the price i’ve come to expect wasn’t available.

Two choices.

Buy now at the higher price.

Wait and hope the price drops.

Here’s the catch.

Waiting may limit the flight choices and the price may increase even more.

It felt great to rewrite the old script that said, don’t pay the higher price.

The new script says, make a decision now and move on.

Unmade decisions pile up and overwhelm.

Decisiveness comes with a price – the speed of business, and sanity.

Pick one of two ways to live

double standard — Alabama Governor in the news last night.

Most people don’t make the evening news, even though many of their choices are contrary to what comes out of their mouth.

Pick one way to live:

Choose to go, do, and be.
Choose to wait, wish, and hope.

There aren’t any world-class excuses to justify not changing

inspirational saying — The other day at Office Depot while buying an office chair, i noticed a shopping bag. The message: i believe it’s possible every single day if you are intentional.

Cultural transformation is challenging because everyone agrees that positive change is not only recommended but smart.

Just because it’s a smart thing to do doesn’t mean it will get done.

Especially if it requires a different routine and habit than we’re used to.

At the end of the day, there aren’t any world-class excuses to justify not changing.

i’m all for change, but

Disney Institute facilitators at Magic Kingdom — Ran into a Disney Institute colleague yesterday. Friends can see their friend’s blind spots easily, and our friends easily see ours. Easily.

i’m all for change, and we need to change, but you need to go first.

If we let it, our job is a great place to hide

If we let it, our job is a great place to hide.

Meetings, lists, projects.

Managerial stuff.

Makes us too busy for our art.

The work that matters. The work we leave undone.

(pause and think about that, then read on)

Hire someone great at managing things needing managed.

Become reacquainted with your highest form of contribution.

That’s your art.

Transform yourself into the artist you were born to be.

Better late than never.

The hurdle is this: completing the first step, which is recognizing in yourself what you were made to be.
