When a friend speaks to me, whatever he says is interesting.

Just the photo please

Just the photo please.

Six tips (in above photo).

Gold.

Timeless.

Literally going against the proverbial current with everything i’m gonna say on Mike Simmons’ podcast in two hours.

What is mindset? Our habitual attitude.
What are common mistakes we make about mindset? Not being intentional about our sources/influences. Not being present nor motivated enough to improve. (Season 4 unpacks this)
Why do we make these mistakes? Entertained, distracted and medicated. Herd mentality – if everyone is this way, it must be ok.
How can we avoid these mistakes? Establish a clear, concise, and compelling goal that can only be achieved by dramatically raising your standards. A goal so compelling that trumps “Why am i doing all this hard work?” Because your attitude is worth defending.
How does this change in the context of remote work from home? It doesn’t. Period. Of course there’s change, but change is nothing new – it’s the constant fabric of life.
How does this change in Team context? Biggest addition is becoming a teacher not just through your example, but through intentional efforts to teach using VIP model.
How does this change in Customer context? Now is not the time to start fawning and communicating like crazy with your customers. The time to do that was everyday before Covid-19.
How does this change in Self context? Nothing changes, except this…you automatically gave yourself a grade for how prepared you are right now. You should be getting an A. If Disney Ran Your Life, operating below excellent levels would not be acceptable.

How many growth friends?

Djuan Rivers, VP Disney’s Animal Kingdom, is a growth friend. What Djuan has done in the 30 years we’ve known each other is (understatement) remarkable.

How many of your friends do you classify as growth friends?

Not friends or family who are successful, but how many growth friends – people who are continuously transforming their lives.

How many friends like this?

Who are these people?

behaviors trump intentions — Does this inspire or overwhelm you?

Do the people around you lift you up?

Do they challenge and teach you?

Do you do the same for them?

As i celebrate today’s double significance – 5th Disney retirement anniversary and New Years Eve 2019 – it is humbling to know how gratitude is the key to everything.

Do your friends bath in gratitude?

Do you?

Happy present moment.

Love to learn but hate to change?

Disney karma — Last night. Djuan sharing with Chapin one of his famously-crazy homemade videos.

Glacier Park fire tower — This Glacier National Park fire tower near the Canadian border was razed in the 1960’s. Screenshot from a Facebook update yesterday…timing, huh?

speaker tips — On a scale of 1-10 (10 is best) for your love of learning and your love of change, then multiply the two. What is your total? Ps. Before bed last night i watched a decently informative video.

Organized enough to know Michael is returning to Australia in a week. Who knows if there will ever be a chance to see him again.

He, Djuan, and i spent a week in Glacier a month ago. Jody Maberry was along for two nights, and i forgot to Facetime Jody last night.

Wanted my Family to meet Michael and to connect as a unit (with Djuan) before it was too late.

Last week i organized the dinner date.

And before bed, i caught up on the day’s emails, etc.

Stumbled upon a great UK speaker and learned a cool approach to illustrating a blinding flash of the obvious…most of us love to learn and most of us hate to change.
