Misinterpret – Page 11 – Disney Customer Service Keynote Speaker

Here’s the thing i struggle with

Wendy's service motto — Because i walked to the gym while my car was being serviced, i noticed this.

My career has been spent serving others, like most people.

A decent percentage of the 14k blog posts (milestone reached Nov. 29, 2016) center on helping others and being of service.

Here’s the thing i struggle with.

i’m a facilitator, not a doer.

We have a saying at Disney, “Don’t do anything for the trainee that they can do themselves.”

i can’t compile your to do list, make recommendations for who to use, make the calls, and schedule your appointments.

Well, i could, but that’s not the highest and best use of my time.

You’re an adult.

i can’t go to the gym for you and do your workout.

You’re old enough and experienced enough to have systems and processes in place to manage (and anticipate) life’s stages.

Sure, it would be wonderful to step in and just do something for someone.

It would also be wonderful if every adult did the hard work to figure out what needs to be done and then do it.

Life is hard for everyone, even for those who might look like life isn’t hard.

Familiarity breeds contempt

Allegiant Allentown display — Early bird (5:58 am in bottom of photo) gets to the city faster.

Jesus said a prophet cannot be respected in their own town, with their own people.

Why would He say that?

What does this mean?

My friend Dennis claims sayings and cliches only become so when they are true.

Familiarity breeds contempt.

What if you worked at Apple, say like Steve Jobs, and they fired you even though you were the founder?

What if you worked at one of the most admired companies in the world and you asked questions that others couldn’t (but should easily be able to) answer?

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.

Are thrivers immune from hell?

Motivational speaker jeff noel — The upper left corner starts with “Some”…torn a corner of a magazine (probably while on an airplane) to write down a thought.

All of us are:

Currently going through a hell no one knows about
Just came out of a hell no one knew about
About to unknowingly go into a hell no one will know about

Those of us who don’t talk about these things aren’t lucky or immune from “bad things”, we just choose to not dwell on where we’ve been, instead we give thanks for making it through and making it back.

What if no one shows up or worse

The Rosen Centre — Two days ago, i’m used to being the first one in the meeting room.

What if no one shows up?

Or worse, what if they show up but leave and do nothing different, nothing better?

Metaphorically, it happens for most people attending Church.

No?

Desirable often comes with the less desirable, and vice versa

Lake McDonald view — Lake McDonald never disappoints no matter how many times you see it.

The west side is different; busier, commercial, but the the views…oh my. The delicate balancing act of life is ensuring that we take the desirable with the less desirable.
