The beautiful truth is, it’s not

Disney Creating Magic Keynote Speech
Just getting started. Last week’s keynote speech in Memphis.

 

Receiving payment for a world-class Disney Keynote speech remains surreal, even after a year of receiving the first one.

If you would have told me 10 years ago that this would be my reality, i would have thought you were a lunatic.

Even in incredible success, it’s a little known fact entrepreneurs struggle with the huge leap they’ve made.

Leaping seems like it’s only possible for special people.

The beautiful truth is, it’s not.

Too much goodness

Two key take-a-ways.

Two take 5’s.

Too much goodness for this humble servant.

It’s easy to forget how challenging it is to speak

Windermere Prep State of the School
Yesterday morning. Note the time on the laptop, 8:53am.

 

Windermere Prep State of the School
The opportunity to hear a 70-year old Headmaster speak is rare.

 

Windermere Prep State of the School
To miss this opportunity to hear Dr Tom Marcy speak would be sad.

i left halfway through the 90-minute assembly, accomplishing what i set out to do.

 

It’s easy to forget how challenging it is to deliver a speech that stirs the human soul. Yesterday was a great reminder.

Fantastic

We had many moments like this one, yesterday.

 

Fantastic.

Every time i speak, i listen for the words people use when they say something to me afterwards.

There is a big difference in word choice and i’m only listening for one category of words.

i find solace in hearing words that revolve around yesterday’s key word choice – fantastic.

Note: When people say “that was really good”, i failed.
