Take a career walk on your Disney side

Disney Institue Keynote Speakers
Used the Disney Institute umbrella to keep the sun off my head on yesterday’s walk to Magic Kingdom.

 

Finding joy and inspiration in talking to anyone, i never hesitate to ask questions.

Me: Who came up with the idea to create hidden Mickeys using mulch piles?

Her: I did.

Me: For real?

Me: What’s your name?

Her: Emily.

Me: Wow, This is so cool. i love what you’ve done.

We continued to talk a few more minutes and then we both moved on with our day.

Manufactured work energy

The Disney Way
Cheryl is working on her 33rd year at Disney. We are 2,500 miles from WDW and she (we) still does things The Disney Way.

 

The Disney Way
At Disney, we simply call this the Disney Way. We teach it to newly hired Cast Members as being, “assertively friendly”.

 

With what ease are you able to manufacture work energy?

Or, does work energy need no assistance because it feeds off of itself?

Will they lean in and beg for more?

Critical meeting coming up.

 

Will they lean in and beg for more?

This is by far, one of the most catalytic moments in your organization’s history.

Will the audience remember it forever as ‘the day everything changed for the better’?

Make hundreds of dollars an hour in your underwear?

Disney Institute Customer Service Speakers
Disney Institute social media post.

Would earning $600 a week on a hypothetical 20-hour workweek appeal to you? That’s $30/hour, working on your own terms.

Michael, let’s review the key points from last night’s swimming pool conversation:

  • A $30/hour wage is realistic. And could easily double or triple, or more.
  • You’d work when you wanted, wherever you wanted.
  • You’d work as much or as little as you wanted.
  • You’d get paid after i get paid.
  • You don’t need to sell anything.

You only need to find business professionals who believe in three things:

  1. Believe Disney’s business model could work Magic for their organization
  2. They are passionate about continual improvement.
  3. They have a financial capacity to pay for world-class benchmarking.

 

Once you established your most effective and efficient structure and process, you could conceivably work four hours a week and make hundreds of dollars per hour, in your underwear, if you wanted.

How did you get to a work 10?

St Mary Lake
The trailhead was accessible by boat.

 

On a scale of 1-10 (10 is best) how do you rate yourself for achieving consistent work (exceeding expectations, thinking and doing differently, and better) excellence?

How did you get to a 10?

Do you spend every day at a 10?

What do you do to stay at a 10?
