A terrible photograph.

Maybe.

Maybe not.

Like all things in life, depends on your focus.

Taken a week before Disney retirement after 30+ years and one year after book release announcement, this photo timestamps a date and place: October 2014 at Orlando’s Amway Center.

Some fascinating stats:

  • Envisioned it in college
  • Took 30 years to write first sentence
  • Took two years to write
  • Took two additional years for the guts to publish
  • Never mentioned Disney, not once, intentionally
  • Written father to son as life-guide in case i died
  • Never written to make money

Don’t fear the reaper

Thousands upon thousands of hours. Repetition is the mother of all learning. Habits are what you think and do without thinking.

Be consistent.

Have prioritized priorities.

Have fun.

Reap what you sow.

Note: Counting down to 2022’s first Glacier trip. T-minus three days.

i have a dream 

i have a dream to provide our Son with the ultimate Vibrancy blueprints.

i have a dream…

A dream so lofty, it’s impossible.

And that is why i want to do it.

Note: Love is the key driver. From father to son.

Before We Begin, Are You Satisfied With Your Organizational Vibrancy?

Before We Begin, Are You Satisfied With Your Organizational Vibrancy?

Before we begin, let’s ask, “Are you satisfied with your Organizational Vibrancy?”

And by the way, you have anonymity, right now, with your answer – so relax, be real, and lean into discomfort just enough for your truth to be set free.

So let’s ask again…

Take a deep breath…

Exhale.

Another slow, deep breath as you hear this again…

Are you satisfied?

You.

Your Organizational Vibrancy reputation and your results.

Are you satisfied?

Your answer?

Anyone’s answer?

An educated guess says our answers match.

That’s why you’re reading this book and that’s why this Disney Organizational Vibrancy book needed to be written.

Summary:

Everyone wants to improve.

There are exceptions to every rule, but there aren’t many.

We are not the exceptions.

Opportunity:

Dissatisfaction can and should be used as a tactic (tool) to gain a competitive advantage.

Looking Back, Now Will Have Been A Bargain

Looking Back, Now Will Have Been A Bargain

The cost for adding business excellence enhancements always seems expensive at the time.

The price you pay for all those years living without the enhancements is literally impossible to recoup.

This so-called price you pay takes the form of lost growth and revenue, unrealized organizational vibrancy, turnover costs, unintentional transfer of intellectual property to your competitors, and the slow and steady erosion of an already unstable foundation.

What would it take for you to see – and act on this reality – that it’s such a bargain to begin transforming now.

Now.

As in there’s no time to wait.

One small step forward.

Right now.

Awareness is the first step to recovery.

Simply admit, right now and unequivocally, your business excellence culture is unhealthy and needs a doctor.

The cost for an architect to draw a new set of blueprints is exponentially less costly now than what it will cost you in the future.

You cannot build from a plan you can’t see on paper.
