Disney creativity has no choice but to flourish

By the time (noon) i got to setting up the trophies on the desk (client request) the lighting wasn’t great.

Got creative to adjust the light and background. Pushed the desk away from the office window and climbed onto the porch roof and shot the photo looking in from the open office window.

Disney creativity has no choice but to flourish.

The best kept secret about Disney creativity is our over-focusing on collaboration.

We involve people in ways that would make outsider’s heads spin.

It reminds me how in yesterday’s stories, what was really happening subconsciously with me, is i was involving the event owner in a creative solution.

The easy answer was, “No, if you record anything, i can’t speak.”

But i spent days trying to NOT use the easy answer because i thought together we could “dream, create, and inspire” something remarkable.

Son, you’ve suggested i give others too much benefit of the doubt. Yes, it’s a Disney trait. When you always behave this way, you never have to look back and regret that you weren’t fair and patient enough.

Only preach what you practice

Just a moment in time yesterday. Almost there.

Knowing how i got here and why i was here – surreal.

The best way to travel with two backpacks.

First time securing a bicycle to a bamboo pole. Couldn’t find a bike rack to save my life.

Wasn’t expecting this, but wasn’t surprised either – as soon as i walked inside.

First time showing up for a speech in cutoff jeans and a sweat-soaked tee-shirt.

 

Only preach what you practice.

Not gonna lie, there was a moment of nervous uncertainty when the client and i met for the first time yesterday morning.

So many firsts (risks).

Many of us are hard to impress.

But what went down yesterday…i impressed myself.

Pretty rare.

And cool.

You do your best thinking away from work

On the plane two days ago…thinking about offering a new executive coaching product.

You do your best thinking away from work.

Where is your favorite place to get away from work?

Why?

How often do you visit?

Why?

Can she reach a level she doesn’t know exists?

Place with a view.

 

An executive coaching client has made tremendous (and game-changing) modifications to the way she leads.

She attributes this to the way i help her think when we talk twice a month.

One hour per call. Two calls per month. Twenty-four calls every year – 24 hours of conversation.

i’m delivering exceptional value for her in exchange for her financial contribution to my yearly revenue.

Bottomline, she is a much better leader now than she was before we met.

Is there another way, a different version of something i already offer, that would take her to a level she doesn’t know exists?
