Lesson learned (the hard way)

Amish postcard — Symbolic image. A postcard from Lancaster, Pennsylvania. Purchased many years ago, recently sent.

Lesson learned (the hard way).

No longer going to pay people in advance. It’s been my experience during the past 18 months that humans, in general, do not have the self-discipline to stay hungry after they’ve been fed.

Zero regrets.

In fact, i celebrate discovering what i hoped i wouldn’t discover.

i actually had faith being fed in advance would inspire a deeper hunger.

My experience shows it only happens as an anomaly.

At Disney we call these “Cast Member Previews”

Disney speaker jeff noel new website — Prelude. Yesterday was my first look at my new Disney Speaker website (first draft).

At Disney we call these “Cast Member Previews”.

That’s when things are almost ready for the public, but not quite.

After Cast Preview Days, next is what we call soft-opening. This is unannounced admission into the new venue. It’s not scheduled or advertised to the public. Only the Cast know about it. The Guests are surprised and delighted to be able to “test” the experience.

It is often a highlight of their stay because they never saw it coming. Not many Guests get to participate in soft-opening.

Deep breath…may i (unofficially) present to you…

Disney Keynote Speaker jeff noel — Look over there…it’s, it’s…it’s a new website..

Deep breath…may i (unofficially) present to you…

junglejeff.com

Spoiler alert because you may have never realized, this site you’re reading now is junglejeff.net

Using GoDaddy’s handy domain name backorder feature (for many years) the previous owner abandoned it in early 2016.

Was quite shocked to purchase it.

Yee-haw!

Having a dot.com is a better piece of digital real estate than any other.

Location, location, location.

Domain extension, domain extension, domain extension.

PS. Today’s (June 9) reveal (rough draft form) is known only to a handful of people. However, by the the time this posts it will be polished up: .simple .corporate .different

Working with Sports Organizations while at Disney Institute

Madison Square garden Theater sign — 2014, taken with my iPhone.

Wrote this at the request of an inquisitive, ambitious, driven, creative, and self-driven individual.

Working with Sports Organizations while at Disney Institute, here are a few i remember personally working with, during 15 years of full-time speaking from 1999-2014:

Orlando Magic (Amway Arena), Brooklyn Nets (Barclays Center), Miami Heat (American Airlines Arena), Portland Trailblazers (Moda Center)
National Football League, NFL Super Bowls 47 (Superdome) & 48 (MetLife Stadium)
NACDA: National Association of College Athletic Directors (National Conference in Orlando)
USATF: United States of America Track & Field (Indianapolis annual meeting)
MLS: Major League Soccer (Owners meeting in Philly, Citizens Bank Park)

Most but not all followed this tier of separate training engagements:

Executive Leadership
Middle & Frontline Leadership
Frontline Employees

Most organizations begin with Customer Service, and Disney Institute has a recipe that focuses on three fundamental components for every employee:

A Service Theme (aka Common Purpose)
Quality Service Standards (a prioritized decision-making matrix)
Behavior Guidelines (tangible, observable, “friendly” behaviors)

Helpful notes:

With the exception of USATF and NACDA, all other sports organizations participated in Leadership Excellence training for their executive teams.
All NBA teams i worked with also rolled out a second wave of training for every leader in their organization, which also had the Executives attending to demonstrate commitment.
A third layer of training completed the initial “Service Excellence” rollout which involved every front line employee, including part-time workers.
After the three-tiered rollout, additional assessments where made, driven by the individual organization’s economics and overall vision. The Orlando Magic demonstrated the most ongoing commitment. They also had the best customer service improvements.
