Even if she says no, i’m grateful

Disney Note Card
She lives 30 minutes from Disneyland.

 

Even if she says no, i’m grateful.

Her association has never paid for a Keynote Speaker.

Ever.

They generally use famous people who are part of their movement – these speakers “give back” because their lives were changed by the association.

So my fee seems astronomical compared to free.

Nothing short of a paradigm shift will make this work.

She and the September event organizing committee want a Disney Keynote Speaker, since their event is across from Disneyland at the Anaheim Convention Center.

Even if Rose and her committee “fail”, they have inspired me with their vision for change.

Daring to succeed comes with the territory.

Help me to stay focused on the opportunity and not on the cost

Southwest Air digital boarding pass
Heading to Washington, DC today for an Executive Overview tomorrow morning.

 

Today and tomorrow help me to stay focused on the opportunity and not on the (time) cost.

There’s an exception to every rule.

Know yourself well enough to know when to be flexible and when to stay true to your values.

i don’t do sales pitches.

So tomorrow’s hour will be out of my comfort zone because that’s what the client has asked for. They are auditioning two or three top candidates and deciding which one to hire.

Announcing the three types of hell

Disney conference speaker
Welcome back my friends to the show that never ends… (Emerson, Lake and Palmer lyric).

 

Three types of hell that no one knows about:

  1. Currently going through it
  2. Just came out of going through a hell no one knew about
  3. About to go into a hell no one will know about

Clarified this at the top of my leadership keynote speech because i wanted the audience to know:

  1. i pray silently for them
  2. When i go on and on about pixie dust, they’ll know i’m grounded in reality

This matters because the audience needs to know that in spite of our hells, we are stewards for goodness in the world.

His name is “JG”, short for Joseph Gabriel. i called him by his full name and told him he has an exceptional name.

Thanks to Brian Fallon at The Garden Theater for providing a first class audio visual experience. Made sure to personally thank him for everything.

Following the day long event was a vendor display with give-a-ways and incentives. Ran into JG, the AV tech that helped me. Had an embarrassing moment because i had the realization that while i thanked Brian, i never went upstairs (nor did i do it publicly while on-stage) to thank JG, Emily, and Jason.

Perfectly imperfect. Lesson (powerfully) learned.

Tomorrow’s engagement will begin with a devotional

Disney Executive keynote Speaker jeff noel
Think like a giant in your genre. Be a category of one.

 

Tomorrow’s engagement will begin with a devotional.

Signed the speaking contract just two days ago.

The best way to feel valued at work and earn the pay you believe you deserve is to have the confidence to go out on your own and prove it.

To your former employer you sounded arrogant.

To your inner voice, you sound confident.

See the difference?

Feel the difference?

Congratulations.
