Disney Brand Loyalty Keynote Speaker
Five daily blogs about life's 5 big choices on five different sites.
Before retiring from Disney and Disney Institute, i had a recurring vision that i could make 10 times the impact in half the time?
Results are in for this year we finished two days ago.
Five times the impact in half the time.
Not bad for year four on my own.
Each year the impact rises.
Humbly excited for year five (2019).

The retirement party was originally booked for Disney’s ESPN Wide World of Sports complex. His team welcomed and supported the change to the Napa Room.
On so many levels, it made perfect sense.
We survive or we thrive.
Being intentional is the key to thriving.

As we go through life, the things that we excitedly wait for change. Fidelity Benefits should be calling any day now to announce that retirement is officially processed. It ain’t official until it’s official. Meanwhile…
Day one of week two. Retirement isn’t the right word to describe this situation. Retirement conjures images of rest and relaxation. What’s happening is anything but.
Six years of not quitting the day job have led to the official launch of being self-employed. While it’s painful to leave Disney after 30 years, it’s the right (gutsy) thing to do.

Selling ourselves is much more challenging than selling an idea.
The idea can be described by what it’s going to do.
Ourselves?
Well, we can only sell what we’ve actually done.
Big difference.

Subordinate: My job is to be the deepest thinker in the classroom.
Boss: Quietly listening. (unsure if what she just heard makes sense)
Subordinate: I work with CEO’s, executive teams, front one employees… everyone in an organization. My job is to rattle the cage so to speak. To get people to think differently. If they walk out thinking the same way they walked in, we didn’t need to have the class.
Boss: … (still no verbal response)
Boss: … (thinks her subordinate is a zealot, says nothing)
Everyone in big brand organizations talks about demanding excellence.
Few people, at any level, actually do it.
Why?
Because it makes others uncomfortable.
This is especially true for front line employees. They have no power to lead the way. Bosses feel uncomfortable when a subordinate is working above reproach.
