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.

Jeff,
That’s a WOW moment. Those are the things my former college professor used to call “a Barnabas File” keeper. He said he keeps a folder of things like this as a means of encouragement when things aren’t necessarily going like we had hoped.
Have a blessed Friday,
Bob
Bob, we all have a file like that. Why? Because it’s a universal human need to feel appreciated.
What is striking, in retrospect, is how long he has carried that memory with him. What was common, everyday behavior for one was a thought-provoking milestone for the other.
The ripple effect before i knew what it was. 🙂
Might I say, exceptionally interesting blogs today?
Donna, not only might you say, you may also share, if you are so inclined. 🙂
