Why do you want to do this?

60-second video: Disney Keynote Speaker “sizzle” video:

Why do you want to do this?

You know why this is a critical question?

Because if you can’t fire up the leader of the other leaders, it’s over.

Hard stop.

Enthusiasm is the most contagious thing.

Second most contagious thing is the lack of enthusiasm.

Insight: You MUST have your act together. You MUST set the others on fire. And then they must set the rest of your organization on fire.

How did you not see that?

mobile view of webpage
How did you not see that? Immediately added an “a”.
list of 17 items
How do leaders not see these?

How did you not see that missing “a”, jeff?

Everyone else sees it the first time they see (read) it. i’ve read it dozens of times.

So me not seeing the missing “a” is remarkable because i’m the only one who doesn’t see it. Everyone else sees it. How can they not?

But i saw it yesterday. Finally.

Was prompted to re-read my junglejeff.com website copy after talking with a Disney leader yesterday.

Now let’s return to the other part of my thinking this through, after reading not only the page i added the “a” to, but one of the last pages on my JungleJeff.com website…

As i read the list of 17 (second photo above) it dawned on me immediately–no one is thinking about nor asking about these 17.

So most everyone* not seeing anything from the “list of 17” is remarkable because i’m literally the only one who sees it. Basing this assumption from extensive research (since joining Disney Institute in 1999) inside 2,000+ organizations.

*The know is to do. To know and not do is to not yet know. (final answer)

29-second video: What’s not to love? What’s not to share? Wait, there’s more…
17-second video: The final part of the video story. At the end you hear Alonzo say my name. Then he suggested a photo of me in the lobby. To which i suggested a photo of the three of us in the lobby.

Been making progress all year with my keynote speaking. Motivated by a clear, concise, and compelling desire to shed myself of administrative drag.

Long story.

Sparing the details. They only matter to me anyway.

But i gotta say, work shedding is awesome.

Enthusiasm University

Alonzo initiated this photo opportunity. Just met him today. Have known Amy (left) from about a year of Disney University visits.

The most contagious thing in the world is enthusiasm.

The second most contagious thing in the world is lack of enthusiasm.

Ps. Do something great. How can you not?
