What spiritual pain

Not the photo i wanted to use but it will do for now. Sparing you the story.

What spiritual pain do you want in your life?

i’ll gladly take the pain of having a heart that never rests from continuously thinking about better ways to serve where i can and when i can. Church is every step. Nothing fancy. Simply good and decent energy all day, every day.

What pain do you want to avoid?

i want to avoid the pain that stems from a lack of: gratitude, surrender, patience, and forgiveness. The pain from emptiness and lack of vibrant purpose.

What’s in your body, reprise

What’s in your body?

Talking passionately and consistently about physical vibrancy can be overbearing for some and liberating for others.

My uncluttered mind helps me clearly see who to concern myself with. First and foremost, the person in my mirror. Secondly, anyone who wants my insights.

My uncluttered mind helps me clearly see who not to concern myself with. Literally everyone.

Those i concern myself with are always within reach.

While selecting this photo from my voluminous iPhone photo library, i mistook it for Glacier’s Continental Divide profile from far away. After adding it and starting this post, realized it’s my backyard tree line from our roof. Context, focus, and randomness all work together for a greater good.

The satisfaction from risk taking dwarfs the satisfaction from waiting and doing nothing.

Spiritually out of office alert

Santa character on a house deck
“Does Santa have your attention now?”

Disney Customer Service basic, “Make eye contact and smile.”

Disney’s Seven Service Guidelines (circa 1990’s)

Spiritually out of office alert…

Assuming we have agreed our out-of-office alerts have ample opportunity for helpful details, let’s proceed farther.

What opportunities remain for going the extra inch in simple, scalable, out-of-office alerts?

Look no farther than the Employee Pillar.

History, customs, icons, values.

Can the way you craft your enterprise-wide out of office alerts embed cultural DNA?

Assuming yes, what is the low-hanging fruit? 

The lamp?

“Pure Nursing”?

Galen’s colors?

Other taglines, words, images, quotes, history, values?

Our journey to understand how seemingly insignificant, robotic (even dogmatic) our out-of-office alerts are, suddenly, we see small details — important Galen details — that add Galen ‘Magic’ to the customer’s experience.

All this opportunity to surprise and delight, and it’s coming from a seemingly insignificant OOO alert.

Wow!

Please know i’ve spent 60+ years thinking about priorities. The past 20 years at world-class .think .differently level.

You do not have to agree with me.

In fact, i don’t expect you to.

You know what i expect from others who read this?

Nothing.

You know anyone who thinks this deep and broad?

If someone comes to mind, share their contact info and i’ll reach out.

It feels like the wilderness.

Lonely sometimes, but always worth my time.
