Become it, then preach it

Disney Keynote speaker Jeff Noel with Mickey and Minnie
Blurry photos can be awesome. Cheryl and i celebrated our 30th year of Disney Service this evening in 2014. Cheryl went on to reach 36 years of Disney Service as a Disney Human Resources Exectutive.

Become the podcast, then host it. Become the book, then write it. Become the leader, then teach it.

Snug as a bug

Christmas card from Disney Keynote Speaker Jeff Noel
The original goal was to use this every year. Only made it one year. ‘Later’ is where dreams go to die.

Easy to get stuck when trying to fit a mold or model that isn’t for you.

Fear is an unwelcome Leadership companion

keynote slide print out
This photo is from a slide deck for a Creativity Keynote in Orlando. Delivered 2,000 Disney Keynote speeches since 1999. The first speech without slides was a filmed TEDx Talk at American University of Kuwait. That same keynote was also my first recorded speech. This was a dramatic leap in discomfort.

Fear is unnecessary attachment to things, people, and habits.

Afraid do not be

The Garden Wall. The Continental Divide. From Haystack Butte. What adult in their right mind schleps children’s toys across the Country and deep into the wilderness?

The goal of being different comes with the risk of being misunderstood. Afraid do not be.

Simple concepts are lost on us because of their familiarity.

The secret to public speaking is to be passionate, tell stories, use personal examples.
