i’m giving you money, spirit

Midlife Celebrations simple model for work life balance
Mid Life Celebration’s simple model for work life balance. The fifth ‘orchard’ is the big square encasing the other four squares. i’ve always called the big square “HQ”.

i’m paying myself from a money tree.

Seriously.

i’m growing money trees.

In our backyard?

No, not in my physical backyard, in my mind, body, spirit, at work and at home.

Five small, yet abundantly bountiful, backyard personal vibrancy orchards.

.think .differently

Be the person, spirit

To teach is to learn twice.

Be the person that encourages others to .think .differently about spiritual vibrancy.

These rare people are important.

Hope you enjoy unwrapping this glorious gift.

We don’t teach beliefs

pink post it note with 3 handwritten notes
The third idea…empower others not through our words, but rather, and only, through our actions. Empower others by the example of our current habits and results.

We don’t teach beliefs.

Well, hold on, we do.

We teach beliefs through our actions, not our words.

Actions are what i use to ground me, motivate me, and hold me accountable:

We judge ourselves in our intentions, others judges on our behaviors.

i ain’t perfect but the personal improvement from 2001 is remarkable. A work in progress as they say.

Who are you posing for?

Guessing our son is 4 or 5 years old.
family of three on a mountain trail
Twenty years later.

Who are you posing for?

And when i say posing, i mean all of your actions.

Profoundly simple

The time-tested meeting architecture on the left. Disney Institute’s additional layer, from our fanatical habit of over-focusing on the same things others under-focus on or ignore.
Handwritten notes
Sitting in the back of a Disney Institute class while my co-facilitator was leading the discussion, an idea popped in my head. If i don’t immediately write it down, it gets lost forever. Only later do i have time to evaluate if the scribbled idea has merit.
Five flip chart pages on the wall
Have never seen Disney Institute break down the five “obvious and universal business pillars”. Nor have i ever seen them (remember, i was at Disney 1982-2014) articulate 19 organizational blueprints that dovetail into the five common-sense organizational pillars.
Disney's creativity class draw Mickey Mouse result
Organizational creativity requires parameters. The paradox of “think outside the box”. Drawing Mickey Mouse nails this insight. Before i recognized the the insight from this ‘standard’ activity, none of my Disney Institute colleagues used “Draw Mickey” to hit the “think inside the box” bullseye.

Profoundly simple.

Simply profound.

With our spirit: Faith, Hope, and Love.

With our work: A clear, concise, and compelling vision.
