The less we have to worry about, the more we can worry about

Depositing business check at bank.
UPS delivered as promised by 10:30am yesterday.

 

i dislike talking about money. i dislike worrying about it too.

The check arrived from Canada, as promised, in advance of the keynote speech.

Without worrying about getting paid in a timely manner, i can “worry” (concentrate) on being the highlight of the customer service conference.

i love the classroom

Yesterday at Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort.

 

Personal leadership 101:

Live your life so that if anyone ever says anything bad about you, no one will believe it.

It’s a very intentional choice.

And to be very intentional, you’ll need to over manage things you used to under manage or ignore.

Tough?

At first, but once you’ve done it long enough for it to become a powerful habit, you have now actually created something (a personal brand) worth defending at any cost.

People need to know as much as possible, but

Keynote Speaker promo
Less than 48 hours ago, i had the privilege and honor of being asked to fill in due to extenuating circumstances.

 

In marketing yourself  your business, people need to know as much as possible, but you have only a few more characters than a Twitter update…

Jeff Noel is a chip off the old block. He exudes Walt Disney’s essence of dreaming, creating, and inspiring. He’s honed his platform from 30 years on the inside of one of the world’s most admired companies, working with everyone from the chief of staff to the cleaning staff.

Or…

After spending a lifetime at Disney, Jeff Noel retired in 2014 to give speeches and do business advising for organizations that want to change the world. While at Disney Institute, Jeff worked with many of the world’s most admired brands to help them change the things they thought they could not change.

The day just unfolded in the normal way, until…

Listened to this one on Monday’s run to Magic Kingdom.

 

Voice message while driving to the High School to volunteer my time.

Listened to it while walking from car to meeting.

Sent quick text to acknowledge, and update, the sender.

After the meeting, a new email with additional details.

Sent email to both parties letting them know the meeting was over and i would call in 15 minutes, as soon as i got home (to my office).

Before we hung up, i was confirmed to take the place of a world-class Disney Keynote Speaker for a Montreal conference in two weeks.

Walt Disney cultivated creativity from an unlikely source

Northwest Indiana newspaper
Last week.

 

The Disney Difference newspaper article
Last week.

 

Walt Disney always believed his next great idea could from anyone, anywhere – even the third shift custodial workers.

My most recent idea only became obvious after a phone call from Hawai’i and a Facebook conversation from Indiana.

The current working term is “Community Program”.

Just like the Disney Institute program above, i’ve struck a hand-shake deal with an organizer who will offer the same type program for my company.

In hindsight, not sure why it took so long to dream up and make happen.
