Where do great ideas come from?

mountains and lake
You don’t need to summit a mountain to find a great idea.

Great ideas can, and should, come from anywhere.

The brand new employee.

The 30-year employee.

The executive.

The janitor.

The customer.

A movie.

A setback.

Your competition.

Anyone in any industry.

While walking during a vacation.

While paying attention to details you used to under-focus on or ignore.

Creative risk-taking is fun

Jeff Noel and Bob Iger
Bob (Iger) inspired 200k+- Cast Members to aspire to be the most admired Company in the world.

Few things in life are more invigorating than taking risks.

As a kid, taking risks was our first addiction.

Think about it…

If i have to explain it to you, you’ll never understand.

Note: Taking risks is risky. So is playing it safe.

Disney Institute on the horizon

Life is funny.

Disney Institute is funny, in a weird way.

In a week, i’ll be there all week.

This is gonna be cool.

Why?

How could it not be?

After 11 years since retiring, maybe one DI colleague is still there. His name is Ben Reed.

It will be (unusually) fun to know what i know, and no one will know what i know.

Note: If you’ve never worked in this space, presenters have a habit of feeling like a rock star. And, presenting themselves like a rock star. Why? Because they sound like someone who ‘wrote the book”. Someone who has lived a life others aspire to.

The truth: They haven’t. Not even close. It’s a privilege to know this “insider information”.
