Be predictably unpredictable

Disney customer service keynote speaker in an office
Disney Customer Service keynote speaker in an office. Yep. Me. Sitting less than one mile from Walt Disney World. In my home’s “office”.

Your personal brand.

It’s the first thing people think or say about you after hearing your name or seeing your face.

Brands can have multiple layers.

Being predictably unpredictable is a layer i strive to perpetuate.

.think .differently is the top personal “business” layer.

i study what humanity generally expects in different spaces where i reside. In this example, it’s Keynote Speaking.

Have delivered thousands of speeches and watched thousands of other speakers.

Knowing the Keynote Speaker stereotypes and audience stereotypes, i experiment with simple (and easy) ways to do surprising and delightful things.

Often, the audience delight is from the insight that the surprise was intentionally delivered for their enhanced experience and learning.

What? Why?

When you go to the next blog (jeffnoel.com) it might make sense why i took this “shortcut “.

Note: Wrote all but this post’s content on the first plane and at Atlanta airport’s intentionally lengthy layover. The second flight didn’t have wifi. That combined with this blog admin screen’s access shutout forced a long delay. It’s late and i need/want some rest.

Cold office

disney architecture
Nothing cold in this design. Nothing cold in this DNA. Nothing cold in the leadership expectations.

A cold office is like a cold house.

You have to bundle up to be comfortable.

A cold leader also creates discomfort.

Who wants to work for a leader that doesn’t light their fire.

Leaders need heat, not cold.

Game on, chalet

hotel reservation screen
The entire season sells out in 5 minutes. This is simply a chart showing the fast decline of availability, which will be zero in five minutes.

i was the 1050th reservation request in the que.

It ain’t gonna happen.
