Disney Keynote Speaker Takeaways and Executive Summary

1)      Three key takeaways each for Leadership session and Customer focus session.  These will allow me to start working on a participant resource.  If those takeaways have a graphic associated (like the compass you mentioned), it will be really helpful to have those as well.

2)      An executive summary of the material for the three sessions you are leading (leadership, customer focus, and commitment).  I know you don’t provide your slides, and that is fine.  All of this will help me provide a design review to my Leaders, and I need the executive summary in order to provide that.

Leadership takeaways:

  1. The single, most critical leadership tool is a clear, concise, compelling vision.
  2. Training and development are vastly different strategies for involvement.
  3. Why clear accountability is critical to organizational vibrancy.
  4. Commitment isn’t needed until the honeymoon-phase wears off.

 

Leadership Executive Summary:

Thesis: We judge ourselves on our intentions, others judge us on our behaviors.

Through the interactive session filled with questions, common sense, and paradox, participants will discover (or be reminded) that world-class organizational success rises or falls from your collective leadership culture. Each leader is CEO of You, Inc. Ultimately, world-class achievement and sustainability stems from your leaders.

Customer Service takeaways:

  1. The bullseye for your organization’s customer service efforts needs to be so easy to hit that any employee at any time can do it blind-folded.
  2. Viewing your customers with a holistic, 360 Analysis, you have 300% more (than your competitors) ammunition for all employees to hit the bullseye every day, all day.
  3. The secret ingredient to create and sustain world-class customer service architecture is a unifying goal.
  4. Consistently delivering exceptional service is the key to being world-class and having a decision tree comprised of three or four prioritized service tenets ensures consistency day in and day out.

 

Customer Service Executive Summary:

Thesis: Exceed expectations, pay attention to detail.

Through the interactive session filled with questions, common sense, and paradox, participants will discover how you provide world-class surprise and delight for your customers. Great organizations outdistance their competition when every employee understands and becomes committed to your Customer Service architecture.

Commitment Activity Takeaways:

  1. A small spark, a simple yet catalytic event, is the DNA of transformational change.
  2. Individually create and capture on paper an easy and simple goal with a 72-hour deadline to act as your catalyst.
  3. Writing a goal down and sharing it with an accountability partner doesn’t guarantee success, but makes success exponentially more likely to occur compared to when no commitment promise is made.

 

Commitment Activity Executive Summary:

Through simple and individual reflection of content, each participant commits to achieving a goal within 72 hours – the caveat being the goal cannot require Leadership, HR, or Finance approval. After participants write a letter addressed to themselves, they verbally exchange ideas (and contact information) with a colleague and pinky-swear to check on each other. The collective sense of accomplishment – and contribution – is a timely catalyst for the larger enterprise. Letters are mailed out so every participant can self-evaluate their results and formulate their next 72-hour challenge.

What is the speed of excellence?

Imagine Disney being Disney without the highest standards – standards so high, others can’t even comprehend. Photo from three weeks ago.

 

What is the speed of excellence?

The challenge with speed, that is overlooked by harried CEOs, is the pace may seem appropriate, but the direction is off course.

Age-old conundrum: don’t mistake activity for productivity.

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.

Love when an intentional system is scalable.

Yesterday’s photos with Disney Characters at Castaway Cay was an example of me over-focusing on the same things i used to under-focus on or ignore.

Did character group shots as well as individual shots.

Very intentional.

Professionally at Disney’s Castaway Cay 8:30am – 4:45pm.

Yesterday included several Disney movies including a personal favorite, UP.

Humbled at our Family Disney bloodline and how Disney principles have shaped our lives.

Disney storytelling is exceptional.

On occasion, our (Disney) storytelling is exceptional.

UP is exceptional storytelling.

And UP is semi-biographical for us.

And time always marches on…

After the community deck time, and during the second walk, the Disney art captured my spirit.

Excellence is a habit.

And it all started (for us) with a Mouse.
