September 2016 – Page 2 – Disney Brand Loyalty Keynote Speaker

Pushing the limits is useless as a theory

Pushing the limits is useless as a theory.

Had to reach out to the Speakers Bureau late yesterday (Friday) to get an update.

They are going to bypass my offer and seek a lower priced contract with another speaker. Was only $1,500 away from their highest bid. Would have been easy to accept.

Why not then?

Because pushing the limits is useless as a theory.

Classic nothing ventured, nothing gained.

PS. Also asked for full payment at time of signing – the only way i could justify a reduced rate.

From the chief of staff to the cleaning staff

From the Board room to the bathrooms and everywhere in between, the speaker’s methods and messages must resonate universally. When a client is paying a premium for a world-class engagement, it’s best to deliver world-class.

My favorite vantage point in all of Walt Disney World

Disney Observation Deck — Gave John the email from York Chamber of Commerce.

Disney's Magic Kingdom from Contemporary Resort — About 730am yesterday.

Disney's Grand Floridian Resort from Contemporary Resort — Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort and Spa from Contemporary Resort.

Epcot from Disney's Contemporary Resort — Looking South from observation deck.

John Faurote and Jeff Noel at California Grill — John seemed pleasantly surprised by our early morning excursion to the “Top of The World”.

My favorite vantage point in all of Walt Disney World is on top of Disney’s Contemporary Resort.

This is saying something because i’ve had the privilege of being in some amazing Disney Vantage points, including the highest room in Cinderella Castle.

So it was very intentional to take John there to have him experience our first official commitment to engage in a one-day “Jeff Noel Community Program”.

Hoping he never forgets reading those words on that email, and never forgets believing all his hard work and trust in a positive outcome will pay off.

Why would anyone gladly pay a premium

iPhone 7 Plus packaging — Photo Sept 19, 2016 – iPhone 7 Plus just arrived. Original post written July 22, 2016.

Why would anyone gladly pay a premium when there are other providers offering a “same category” product or service at a significantly lower price?

Prevailing wisdom suggests more often than not, we get what we pay for.

Go to an Apple Store (or Apple.com) and try to negotiate a lower price for any Apple product. Not gonna happen.

i could go on a long riff about this but won’t (because i actually did riff-on but deleted it shortly after it posted).

If we let it, our job is a great place to hide

If we let it, our job is a great place to hide.

Meetings, lists, projects.

Managerial stuff.

Makes us too busy for our art.

The work that matters. The work we leave undone.

(pause and think about that, then read on)

Hire someone great at managing things needing managed.

Become reacquainted with your highest form of contribution.

That’s your art.

Transform yourself into the artist you were born to be.

Better late than never.

The hurdle is this: completing the first step, which is recognizing in yourself what you were made to be.
