Ready, set, Disneyland sunrise

Disneyland balloons

 

Racing against the sun to finish five daily blogs in order to get a walk around the Happiest Place on Earth before the family awakes.

You know how it is. Tying to do a lot of things and yet balancing the need for personal care and activity with the needs of others.

No time for lunch in the past 30 years?

No.

Not in the past 30 years did Cheryl and i have lunch together. Countless dinners at Disney, but never lunch. Why? The pace is fast at Disney. Outsiders have no idea.

We also did not have lunch together a few days ago after the first paying, post Disney speaking gig.

Made an honest attempt. But with Cheryl being out sick all week, it made a really good argument for staying in the office.

In hindsight, i could have brought lunch into her office.

Live and learn.

I always wondered why somebody doesn’t do something about that. Then I realized I was somebody. – Lily Tomlin

This is a most unlikely story.

Never found a role model for balance in my 30 years at Disney, so i committed to becoming the role model.

And failed.

Repeatedly.

Balance felt so elusive while at Disney that i began to wonder if it was even a real thing.

It truly felt unattainable.

Then, in a moment of stunning simplicity, i asked the most basic question: “Jeff​, are you satisfied?”

You can easily guess the answer.

It took 30 years to write the first sentence.

Two years to write.

And two more years still, to get the guts to publish.

It takes about 60-75 minutes to read.

What’s scary are the profoundly simple insights. They stimulate and then inspire rethinking, reprioritizing and recommitting.

With the investment of a few clicks and $4.99, you can instantly have a copy.

Five bucks.

Is this too big a risk?

Is Balance the future of work?

Orlando's Best Disney Customer Service Speakers

Balance is the future of work. Or so some claim.

Impossible, right?

Probably.

That’s why Mid Life Celebration set out in 1999 to make it happen in spite of it’s nonexistence in the workplace.

Necessity is the mother of invention.

Mid Life Celebration will not receive any awards for creating the formula for balance, but it’s founder, jeff noel, did receive The Walt Disney Lifetime Achievement Award, twice, during his 30-years Disney career.

PS. This is only important if you are looking to hire the best catalytic keynote speaker money can buy. If you’re going to believe in something important, believe in it all the way.

Why?

It’s contagious.

(also extremely contagious is not believing all the way)
