June 2016 – Page 6 – Disney Brand Loyalty Keynote Speaker

Dennis Snow is a go-to Disney Keynote Speaker

DisneyWorld 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea — Dennis was Captain Nemo in his first Disney role in 1978.

Popular Disney Keynote Speakers — Dennis did a wonderful speech sharing three Disney Customer Service insights.

Dennis said he delivered 95 speeches last year. Assuming a minimum of two weeks vacation, that’s two speeches every week.

A significant amount of travel is required to accomplish this level of success.

i do not want to achieve the type of success that requires that much travel.

Sure, the money adds up, but at what cost?

Obviously for the right person, to have a job you love that allows for paid travel, that could be a dream come true.

Do you enjoy being pressured by others?

Balance Keynote speaker jeff noel — This blog is about our contribution to society (work).

Let us assume a fair amount of time (two weeks or more) has passed…

i hate pressing people for an answer.

i also dislike waiting.

But i’ll wait because patience is a virtue.

And disorganized people – overwhelmed by their demanding schedules and skewed priorities – can take forever to get back to you with a simple yes or no answer.

No means move on.

Yes means it’s time to roll up our sleeves.

There’s a huge difference.

But in the silence of not hearing anything, you live in an unproductive world.

Leadership is such an underused competitive advantage

FHSSA Basketball state championships — The Lakeland Center

Leadership is such an underused competitive advantage. Everything rises or falls because of leadership. Talent is important, and so is teamwork and drive.

Carving out time to think about this is rare.

You are the CEO of You, Inc.

Your leadership deserves reflective time to decide how and what you spend your time thinking about.

Why?

Because what you think about drives what you do.

i used to spend a lot of time doing the wrong (lower priority) things right.

Now for example, i carve out two hours every morning to get ready for a single day.

Over-focus on the same things others under-focus on or ignore.

You must wear this every single day for your entire career

Disney Speakers — Esteemed colleagues (L-R) Dennis and Byran prepping for big client. Dennis and i met in 1988 and had lunch yesterday.

We had lunch at Cracker Barrel and talked for nearly three hours. Dennis was my Disney Traditions Manager in 1988, when 13 hourly, front-line Cast Members (i was one of them) were selected from hundreds of applicants.

Becoming a Disney Traditions instructor is one of the highest (non-promotional) honors an hourly Cast Member can receive. It’s a year-long cross-utilization role and several times each month you are pulled from your operation for a day to teach brand new Cast Members on their very first paid day at Walt Disney World.

It’s an engaging and exciting day-long introduction to the Disney culture, history, milestones, “business secrets, and it’s where they receive their Disney Name Tag.

Wearing your Name Tag is expected every single day of your Disney career because of what it represents to our Guests – it means any Cast Member can help you with anything.

Seems simple enough.

It’s what separates good and very good companies from world-class.

PS. Dennis retires from Disney and Disney Institute April 29th.

Magic is chaotic to produce

iPhone screen shot of Disney Applause app — Last night on ABC television the Disneyland Diamond Jubilee Special.

i’ve been saying this since i first became a Disney Institute Speaker and Business Advisor in 1999:

“At Disney, it’s chaos 24/7.”

The Magic is that we hide what it takes so you believe it’s actually Magic.

It comes down to this:

Disney’s success centers on over-focusing on the same things others under-focus on or ignore. Disney is intentional where others are unintentional.
