For the love of a teacher

Orlando's best leadership speakers

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.

Burn the ships continued

Does “burn the ships” inspire your fire in your belly?

Mike has helped us on many home improvements. He has two grown daughters from his first marriage. He also had a very challenging bone marrow transplant a few years ago. A few years before that, his current wife worked with Cheryl.

Told him the retirement news yesterday, Sunday (October 19). We both understand the need to work many weekends to achieve our goals.

He listened to the future plans and then asked if there was an opportunity to work for someone like Apple or Google, would the fire in the belly still be there?

Told him there will never be any more working for someone else.

And asked him if he knew the story of Cortes.

He did, as a retired Marine serving our Country, he was quite familiar.

We both smiled.

Is there an echo in here?

Is there an echo in here?

Not running from something. Running to something.

Been running very, very intentionally and with great focus and discipline for six solid years.

Every dang day.

The beauty in this is that the emotional side of this decision is grand and noble and it was made from the best of places with the best of intentions.

This is not the typical.

And to be crystal clear, not typical is par for the course. Not for everyone, only for a few.

Do what you say you’re gonna do.

And don’t tell anyone until it’s done.

As an overachiever, not only is it possible…

People who can afford luxury accommodations need prayer as much as homeless people

 

Can honestly say, as an overachiever, not only is it possible, it is possible everyday. All day.

I pray because I can’t help myself.. because the need flows out of me all the time, waking & sleeping. It doesn’t change God. It changes me. -CS Lewis

For real.
