Non-traditional work

Disney Podcaster Jeff Noel with Jody Maberry
Jody Maberry and me. Working. Podcasting. Strategizing.

Non-traditional work.

Traditional is on-site, working for someone else.

Non-traditional is remote, working for yourself.

Traditional is closed mindset.

Non-traditional is growth mindset.

Non-traditional is in it’s infancy, motivated by the great resignation sparked by Covid-19 in 2020.

Humble note: Been working from home since 2009. Been working from anywhere since November 1, 2014. Reminder, retired from Disney October 31, 2014.

In my early 20’s, high gas prices never concerned me. Why? i could not afford a car.

The growth trifecta

Office bookshelf
Made flip chart for Zoom meeting surprise. Turns out it was only a phone call meeting. Took the photo to send to prospective client.

What is the growth trifecta?

  1. Feedback
  2. Coaching
  3. Development

This is the unpredictable part in taking initiative, some embrace feedback, some resist feedback.

The will to explore at work

Yesterday’s Memorial service for our neighbor’s father.
Faith-filled. All Glory to God. Humilty personified.
Last night. An art project for our neighbor’s five-year old.

The will to explore at work.

Do you have it?

On a scale of 1-10, 10 is best.

What’s your number?

Work life hack, aim for a perfect 10.

Exploring allows you to find a way, a style, an art form, that’s never been done before.

How cool is that?

When the road forks, take it.

Helpful career accidents

Disney Leadership speaker Jeff Noel
Circa late-2014 or early-2015. One of the first Mid Life Celebration, post-Disney keynote speeches. Who dat on left edge?

Wisdom comes from experience. Experience comes from making mistakes.

Guess that makes some people geniuses.

Have made more mistakes speaking than most people have given speeches. Meaning, have easily made 1,000 speaking mistakes (accidents) and few people have given 1,000 speeches.

Crave two types of failure.

Unintentional (accidental) failure.

Intentional (over-focused) failure.
