Disney Customer Service Keynote Speaker
Five daily blogs about life's 5 big choices on five different sites.
Dear Lord, thank you for patience and creativity.
It sometimes takes several hours to get things back on track when our peaceful center has been turned upside down.
There is an art to parenting.
I’m in art school, and it feels like freshman year. Awkward sometimes.

In our daily walk, is not every step the opportunity, the obligation, to own our leadership moments?

Received this a few hours after the retirement party from a Disney Leader, who at one time (mid-90’s) was a direct report:
So when I was working at THE Grand, I was banking out in our lovely room across from the manager’s office when I felt a presence watching me. I turn around and no one was there. I went back to counting my coins but I still could feel someone watching me. This time as I looked around I caught a glimpse of something up by the ceiling…I jumped up and turned around and there I see you (well, your head) smiling at me from above the little partition separating the room from the other side. You then proceeded to ask me if I knew what you were doing which I replied “no”. You then explained that we should always remember to take a step back and look at everyday things from a different perspective.
He apologized for not sharing it publicly at the retirement celebration.

Praying for personal peace today and the days ahead for anyone evaluating their work environment.
People don’t leave companies, they leave leaders.
Ever heard that?
Some leadership classes actually use that as a significant teaching point.
Lead with kindness, generosity, forgiveness, hope, passion, and purpose.
And of course, getting business results.
Okay…
Deep breaths.
Remain hopeful.

This reminds me of the corporate world, and when organizations restructure to make things better. Always intrigued by the thought and effort spent on restructuring leadership karma. From the Bible:
“No one tears a piece from a new garment and puts it upon an old garment; if he does, he will tear the new, and the piece from the new will not match the old. 37) And no one puts new wine into old wineskins; if he does, the new wine will burst the skins and it will be spilled, and the skins will be destroyed. 38) But new wine must be put into fresh wineskins. 39) And no one after drinking old wine desires new; for he says, ‘The old is good.’
Life is hard.
We know this.
Up to each of us to deal with it effectively.
