One of my favorite
lines about the world
of entertainment is this:
“It’s not called SHOW SHOW.
It’s called SHOW BUSINESS.”
In other words, you need both.
I believe this kind of combination
is true for our work
no matter what field we’re in.
(More on that further down.)
This is top of mind right now
as I’m still thinking about
the extraordinary Disney Legends
experience earlier this month.
Disney knows SHOW BUSINESS
like nobody’s business. 🙂
(If you missed last week’s post
and the accompanying
festive 1-minute video,

It received a lovely response.)
So for you…
if you’re in sales, it’s not only
about knowing your product’s
features & benefits, market trends,
sales pipeline and CRM; it’s also
the art and your “performance.”
Even in a seemingly numbers-based
profession such as financial services,
how you show up
in person or on video,
in emails and interactions,
plays a huge role in your success.
We each need to ask ourselves,
what parts of the “show” are we lacking?
What parts of our behavior and
the customer/client/team
experience can we IMPROVE?
What “vibe” do we radiate
when we “perform” our work?
If you’re in leadership,
how you communicate your vision
–the art of your leadership–
matters oh-so-much.
It ideally shouldn’t be
BUSINESS BUSINESS.
It ought to be BUSINESS SHOW.
And conversely,
if you’re in the arts,
what business skills do
you need to hone and develop?
It’s so EASY to separate ourselves
from one side of the equation
or the other, but how can we learn
from the seemingly opposite side
and bring BOTH together,
making our work stronger because
of what we can apply from
ANOTHER (a.k.a. an “other”)?
So yeh. There it is.
Duality…is a myth.
And ultimately…we are one.
