People need to know as much as possible, but

Keynote Speaker promo
Less than 48 hours ago, i had the privilege and honor of being asked to fill in due to extenuating circumstances.

 

In marketing yourself  your business, people need to know as much as possible, but you have only a few more characters than a Twitter update…

Jeff Noel is a chip off the old block. He exudes Walt Disney’s essence of dreaming, creating, and inspiring. He’s honed his platform from 30 years on the inside of one of the world’s most admired companies, working with everyone from the chief of staff to the cleaning staff.

Or…

After spending a lifetime at Disney, Jeff Noel retired in 2014 to give speeches and do business advising for organizations that want to change the world. While at Disney Institute, Jeff worked with many of the world’s most admired brands to help them change the things they thought they could not change.

The day just unfolded in the normal way, until…

Lee Cockerell podcast
Listened to this one on Monday’s run to Magic Kingdom.

 

Voice message while driving to the High School to volunteer my time.

Listened to it while walking from car to meeting.

Sent quick text to acknowledge, and update, the sender.

After the meeting, a new email with additional details.

Sent email to both parties letting them know the meeting was over and i would call in 15 minutes, as soon as i got home (to my office).

Before we hung up, i was confirmed to take the place of a world-class Disney Keynote Speaker for a Montreal conference in two weeks.

Let the workbook work begin

Disney University
Disney DNA starts here.

 

Let the workbook work begin. What kind of workbook would you design if Disney ran your business?

It would be something like this:

  • Simple
  • Easy and fun to use
  • Powerful
  • Tells a story you won’t tire hearing
  • Challenges you to do work that matters
  • A frequent resource (not a shelf decoration)

There, that’s not too difficult.

There’s a reason this question is so important

Continuous improvement is Disney’s DNA.

 

Disney Customer Service Keynote Speaker
Yesterday’s 10-mile run included a walk through Disney’s Magic Kingdom.

 

There’s a reason this question is so important:

What’s the ratio between taking action based on our own original thought vs taking action based on someone else’s recipe for success?

Classic battle of crazy vs tried and true.

If all we had to do was follow the “success” recipe(s), we’d all be astonishing successful wouldn’t we?

If ever the writing strikes a chord…

New MacBook
Apple’s vision is to make tools for people who want to change the world.

 

Personal leadership 101: Do others know your vision?

The voice (always) in my tweets, updates, blogs, & book is (always) me talking to the broken & beautiful person in the mirror.

If anything you read strikes an uncomfortable cord, know that it struck me first.
i’ve learned to welcome discomfort as a trusted advisor.

In my discomfort resides hope, and (maybe) enough motivation to do something that matters.

PS. the lower case i is intentional. A small (yet personally powerful) act to remain humble.

Note to self (always): Life is not a dress rehearsal. Live like you mean it.
