Patience is a virtue and challenging to apply 100%

Patience is a virtue and challenging to apply 100% of the time.

But that’s what great leadership (and parenting) is all about, being consistent when the pressures tempt us to loose our patience.

Leadership is also about seeing ahead and preparing a future that is better than now, much better.

One small hairline crack from a single dropped iPhone led to a set of spider-web cracks after a second drop one week later. Heading back to Glacier National Park for a week i don’t want a third drop to render the iPhone useless.

Plan ahead.

Simple.

Not easy.

Temptation to wait almost always runs high.

On April Fool’s Day 2009, jeff noel began writing five daily, differently-themed blogs (on five different sites). It was to be a 100-day self-imposed “writer’s bootcamp”, in preparation for writing his first book. He hasn’t missed a single day since.

 

Is Balance the future of work?

Orlando's Best Disney Customer Service Speakers

 

(photo: The W does not stand for Walt Disney, it stands for WordPress – which supports more than 20% of the World’s websites.)

Balance is the future of work. Or so some claim.

Impossible, right?

Probably.

That’s why Mid Life Celebration set out in 1999 to make it happen in spite of it’s nonexistence in the workplace.

Necessity is the mother of invention.

Mid Life Celebration will not receive any awards for creating the formula for balance, but it’s founder, jeff noel, did receive The Walt Disney Lifetime Achievement Award, twice, during his 30-years Disney career.

PS. This is only important if you are looking to hire the best catalytic keynote speaker money can buy. If you’re going to believe in something important, believe in it all the way.

Why?

It’s contagious.

(also extremely contagious is not believing all the way)

(photo: the iPhone 5s (far right) used to be the worlds coolest phone, now it has two new models to expedite it’s obsolescence)

Meeting with the Certified Financial planner tomorrow morning.

Hoping to eliminate any apprehension about moving forward boldly.

The way we’ve lived and earned is going to become obsolete.

Hard to see in the moment, but not for the visionary.

What if it doesn’t scare the crap out of us?

The Enquirer with Michelle Obama raging on the cover
What messages are true and what messages are completely inaccurate?

 

Ever feel a clear, concise, compelling tug that you are being called for greater, more significant contribution?

How do we know we are hearing the correct message?

How do we know what we should do with the message, assuming it is correct?

Does it scare the crap out of us?

Does it set us on fire?

Is it just plain crazy?
