Disney Brand Loyalty Keynote Speaker
Five daily blogs about life's 5 big choices on five different sites.
Intentionally waited until bedtime to tell him, “Your work ethic and focus impressed me this weekend.”
Wanted him to take that feedback to bed with him to ponder his behavior and hopefully begin to understand that there are times when the characteristics he demonstrated this weekend will serve him as an adult.

Personal leadership involves doing things that are invisible to most. In the corporate world, donating money, volunteering time, hosting fundraisers, and a list of other common ways to give back, are all marketed very carefully to the public.
Why?
Because it’s a great public relations strategy.
To do it invisibly would be considered a missed opportunity.
Oh well.
Note: The readership here, in the big picture, is so small, it’s the equivalent to it never happening.

i am not the only expert in the room.
But i am the only Disney expert in the room.
Have you had the good fortune to be at a conference where there’s an astonishing ripple-effect buzz from one of the presentations?
What allows that to happen?
My job is to keep the audience – no matter the size or demographic – so engaged, they never have a chance to be bored, distracted, or disengaged.
My job is to have everyone walking out of the room .thinking . differently than they did when they entered.
May i be so bold as to say that expertise goes beyond content? Expertise in this arena is rare – the expertise to involve all the other experts in the room.

Changed? Really?
That’s what i asked, and she said, “Yes”.
We have been in negotiations for over a year. The CEO tapped her to keep it alive a few months ago after he wasn’t able to personally continue with it.
Just from our conversations (which i hadn’t realized were impactful to her), she was influenced to change some key behaviors. And her changes have been incredibly beneficial to her relationships with the eight member executive council, including her CEO.
Insight: You never know the power of a positive ripple effect.
