Life is tough. Everyone is feeling the weight of the world on their shoulders. It’s the common thread for all humans.

Sent this last night, responding to request for advice…

“Thanks for your note and i do know your Grandfather and recall Cheryl going to lunch with you and your brother.

Judson, the greatest resource you have for the goals you describe is right under your nose. It’s your Disney leadership team. The one you had on your College Program and the one you have currently.

So here’s my best advice: Create great relationships with your leaders, their bosses (if possible, and it’s always possible), your peers, your Guests, vendors, everyone. Disney is famous for friendly, helpful, optimistic people. If that’s hard to do at the level you are at, it will be impossible to advance.

Every ring on the “leadership ladder” carries with it additional responsibilities that can bury people who aren’t equipped. So if this feels like hard work now, leadership might not be the right direction.

I’m assuming you were a standout at Cosmic Rays. Leverage those connections.

I retired almost two years ago and Cheryl’s position is in an exceptionally busy time right now.

Happy to answer any and all questions you have at any time.

Think of a mentor like a personal trainer. i can give advice from the expertise that comes from experience, yet i cannot do the exercises (the relationship building) for the trainee.

What books have you read about Disney? Send that list and i’ll recommend what’s missing and validate the great ones.

And if we aren’t connected on LinkedIn, please send an invitation.

Finally, expect an answer to any question within 24 hrs, usually same day, and often within hours. Future replies are not likely to be this long. 🙂

Be amazed and be amazing Judson. Our world needs more of that.

(PS, i didn’t proof this, sorry for grammar/typos)”

On April Fool’s Day 2009, jeff noel began writing five daily, differently-themed blogs (on five different sites). It was to be a 100-day self-imposed “writer’s bootcamp”, in preparation for writing his first book. He hasn’t missed a single day since.

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.

Should high expectations come with the territory?

Disney Leadership Keynote Speaker
August 31, 2016.

 

How would i define my Mid Life Celebration values?

For example, personal responsibility.

  • Respond within 24 hours.
  • Ask. Don’t assume or wonder. Ask.
  • Treat others the same way you’d like.

Need to be ahead of the curve for future contracted partners.

Should high expectations come with the territory?

Classic Disney Imagineering storyboarding makes dreams a reality

Disney Jungle Canteen
Reading the menu..even the napkins are set to look like a spear head.

 

Disney Institute creativity speakers
The storyline was storyboarded in classic Disney Imagineer fashion.

 

Disney Business advisors
The attention to detail is extraordinary (aka over-focused).

 

Disney's jungle jeff noel speaker
From the Hippo pool section of the Jungle Cruise.

 

Disney Customer Service Speakers
“Always looking for a handout.” As you approach Schweitzer Falls.

 

Disney Institute Keynote Speakers
Trader Sam has a special deal for everyone just before returning to civilization.

 

The sensory overload was extended to the Cast Members, their behaviors, mannerisms, spiels, their costumes, and it literally had no end.

i’m excited to embellish this DNA with my new Disney Speaker website.

Every picture, and every leader, is telling a story

Disney's focus on small details
Normally peanut butter on one side, jelly on the other.

 

Disney's focus on small details
But Disney over-focuses on something as trivial as this.

 

Disney's focus on small details
No one likes soggy bread, and 100’s and 1000’s of PBJ sandwiches need to made in advance for busy meal periods.

 

Disney's focus on small details
Spreading peanut butter on both sides insulates the bread from the jelly.

 

Disney's focus on small details
Over-focus on not spreading the jelly all the way to the edge.

 

Disney's focus on small details
This ensures the jelly will not spill out once the pieces are compressed on each other.

 

Disney's focus on small details
Magic?

 

Every picture, and every leader, is telling a story.

Great organizations, and great leaders, understand the most important insight for world class results:

Over-focus on the same things others under-focus on or ignore.

Be intentional where others are not.

The basics.

Be brilliant at the basics.
