We worked at Disney’s Contemporary Resort back in the 1980’s

Disney's first Hotels under construction.
Had never seen a photo of this until the Facebook Group.

 

The Disney heritage stories are as common as the prolific sable palm trees (the Florida State Tree). The vintage Disney photos are often rare. Never saw the photo above until yesterday on the Facebook group, “We worked at the Contemporary back in the ’80’s“.

The Hotel rooms were constructed offsite, but still on Disney Property, by US Steel, in a modular fashion and literally slid into the large A-Frame structure.

The room construction was rumored to be so complete that the carpet was installed and even the light bulbs were screwed into the lamps.

It’s not a business until…

People are recommending you.

Goodman Speakers Bureau called yesterday wanting to know my availability in May for an Orlando engagement. They have a client wanting a Disney Keynote Speaker. Their client wants me to hold a Tuesday and a Friday, until they decide if they want an opening or closing keynote.

It ain’t over until it’s over. Hopeful this leads to a signed contract, but cognizant there’s no guarantee.

Does your company suffer from Organizational obesity?

Disney Executive Leadership Speaker

 

Does your company suffer from Organizational obesity?

Poor habits, among other things, cause metaphorical organizational obesity.

The opposite of organizational vibrancy.

Would you allow someone who doesn’t care what you know the opportunity to rattle your cage and create a catalyst for you to think differently?

Would you welcome it? Pay top dollar for it? Look forward to it?

Would you?

Obesity won’t go away by itself.

Ever.

Four foul words no one wants to admit

Disney Executive Coaches
Disneyland World of Disney Store – Thanks for noticin’

 

As you skim through Facebook, do you ever ask yourself:

• “Do i lie to myself?”

• “Am i satisfied?”

• “What makes me come alive?”

• “What’s the point of Facebook anyway?”

Made a private and ridiculously impossible goal in 2014.

For one year, do not use four words:

•  i  •  me  •  my  •  mine  •

Not in corporate communications with clients and colleagues and bosses, not on social media comments, replies. Not in emails or texts. Not on 1,865 annual blog posts…

Not once.

This has bled over to today, March 22, 2015.

The craziest thing?

No one even noticed.

So why do it?

That’s the big question in our lives isn’t it?

Why do transformational things if they are so small no one will detect any change?

Am ready to begin using them again, on a microscopic scale, beginning today. It was an extraordinary learning experience, because it was so visibly invisible.
