Aha moment commercials tv#
Corporate leaders were portrayed on TV and in movies as big strong bully devious types. Just Be Yourself - Growing up in America, our leadership icons were big personalities like John Wayne, Charleton Heston, George Patton, John Kennedy. But I had crossed over the vast divide and assumed the position of leadership by just saying Yes!Ģ. My first move- I went to the drill sergeant and told him that when it is time to appoint a leader, I want to be considered. I can do this job." We moved on to Fort Polk, Louisiana for advanced infantry training. "I am better than him I thought! I never should have stepped down. And he was a total failure who made our lives even more miserable. He was the most confident bombastic know it all imaginable. And after a week, I asked to go back to being a normal person and that they put someone else in charge. I was scared on multiple fronts, mainly fearful of failure. Out of the fifty in our company, I was selected to be the leader. But at a certain point, he was ready to release control and appoint leaders. We only had one leader for the first four weeks and that was our drill sergeant who told us that we were now to think of him as both our god and parents.
After college, I was in the army, in a rough and tumble world of infantry basic training in Fort Lewis, Seattle, thrown in with a broad multicultural cross-section of America. I felt like a leader in my heart but I rarely stepped forward and demonstrated that I was the leader. Just Say Yes - I would describe myself as someone reserved and cautious in high school, emerging somewhat in college. And then one day, we slap ourselves on the side of the head and say, "Aha! I get it." On the topic of leadership, I can pinpoint five such salient moments.ġ. If you aren't that mother or father yet, no time like the present to become one.Realizing that this is an international audience, and that not all American colloquialisms universally translate, let me start by clarifying that an "Aha" moment is one of sudden awareness or comprehension, often of things that have been around us for good lengths of time. If you are a mother or father who finds a way, YOUR way, to express to your children that they are loved, then you are the best agent of love the world has ever known. They want to be loved by their mother and father. They don't want to be loved by me, or some TV star or some cartoon character. The first and best 'Aha Moment' for every child is when they realize they are loved.
He loved his daughter and expressed it as only he could, with his creativity, mind and heart. He didn't do it like I did, but that has nothing to do with the worth of his expression. IT IS EXACTLY LIKE WHAT I DID! It has the same immeasurable amount of love, thought and care from her father as what I gave. The only false note in that story is about it not being like what I did. I was always so excited to get that note." I remember that it was always the first thing I would do every morning, get up and go read my note. It wasn't fancy, just a note saying he loved me, or maybe to remember to do something, like homework or be good. But he would always leave a little folded note for me outside my bedroom door. "He would leave for work very early in the morning, before I was awake. She said "of course, it is nothing like what you did", and then she told the story. When I was done she sheepishly told me it reminded her of something her father had done. She had a wonderful look in her eyes as I told the story. We had to wait while the person in front of me was interviewed so she asked me to tell a little bit about my aha moment. When I arrived at the RV there was a young woman, Kait, charged with checking me in. I will let you know when the video is up. When they are done people can vote on the ones they would like to see put on TV. They will post them on their website throughout the summer. They are going around the country in a very cool Airstream RV videotaping people talking about their 'Aha moment' in life. You may have seen the 'Aha Moments' commercials on TV. They are sponsored by Mutual of Omaha Insurance Company. Yesterday the 'Aha Moment Tour 2010' came to Tulsa and I was invited to tell the Napkin Dad story.
