Tell us about “Life after Disney”

Disney Keynote Speakers — September 27, 2017…today’s post reminds me the first six years of my business (2008-2014, while still at Disney), i didn’t make a dime.

Good morning New Years Eve.

Ahhh, the final day of 2017.

Hoping when this post goes live in 30 days, my signed contracts will have generated almost as much revenue as all of 2017.

Impossible, right?

To not yet be into the second month of the year (when this goes live) and be just shy of last year’s total revenue is something i never saw coming.

Note: 2017 was by far the best of my first three years on my own, or “Life after Disney” as some say. So to be within striking distance of topping the best year ever is surreal.

Second note: The final seven months (May-Dec) of my second year (2016) i had no contracts – a seven-month drought. Plus, there were no contracts for 2017. This is about as scary as it gets. “Maybe i was wrong about leaving Disney” permeated my waking thoughts.

Hope and faith sustained me when all seemed lost.

If Disney Ran Your Business (7-Book series)

Notes to myself 24 hours ago. Who writes seven books simultaneously? Walt Disney?

i can teach you. This image is from Twitter.

Tip: New enhancements to your leadership culture will require a transition phase – intentionally plan for healthy employee skepticism if “asking” hasn’t previously been the norm.

No one has more ideas how to improve things than your front-line employees.

If Disney Ran Your Business (7-Book series).

Humility is critical, for me.

So is making sure my audience (Meeting Planners, Speakers Bureaus, C-Suite) knows what makes me different from their other choices.

From Sept 28, 2011 (7 corporate wellness objectives)

Who’s listening? Who cares? Do you get the results you hoped for? (photo: yesterday from an Apple email advertisement)

Mid Life Celebration’s short and pithy posts are at risk every time a list is created, like this one with 7 ~~obvious~~ critical goals corporate wellness initiatives strive to achieve:

Cost reduction
Error reduction
Turnover reduction
Productivity improvements
Increasing engagement
Increase satisfaction
Brand enhancement

Common sense intuition tells us a healthy worker is more valuable to an organization.

Period.

Yet rarely, in today’s economy, do we make common sense common practice.

Are you happy with your current state of personal wellness?

How long has it been since you were happy with your personal wellness?

The healthier i am, the more effective and efficient is the work i produce.

The key to exceeding expectations

Apple iPhone X delivery — originally scheduled to deliver Dec 1-8.

Under-sell and over-deliver.

Apple surprised me a couple days ago.

It was delightful.

The key to exceeding expectations is to do things that surprise and delight others.

What’s a great strategy but a poor tactic?

Disney Executive coach jeff noel — Possible corporate logo? It appeals to the karma of blueprints.

Left yesterday’s lunch disappointed.

Also left a little wiser.

My gut was right. She’s not mature enough, nor even remotely experienced enough to be a trusted and valued partner.

i had high hopes.

The naïveté in her responses, her demeanor, and her belief system – all of it, sadly, is not going to survive my expectations and the karma required.

Our age difference is two full decades. That, in and of itself, is irrelevant in my book. However, having always worked for herself since college, she has zero experience in a corporate setting.

All my clients are corporate.

All my content is architected to transform the way corporate leaders, corporations, and entire industries think.

When leaders and teams .think .differently they increase their odds that they may create positive change.

Anyone i associate with who isn’t 110% committed to making our World a better place won’t work.

i had high hopes.

Hope is a great strategy but a poor tactic.
