Google Study Tips

“You can observe a lot by watching”. — Yogi Berra

Google dominates search engine.   Disney dominates family entertainment.

I enjoy watching and learning from them.

They say, “To teach is to learn twice”.

As a 35-year business professional, including 25 year here in Central Florida,  I’ve become quite the Disney expert.

I really hadn’t noticed, until I started to do the math.

For the past ten-plus years, I’ve been a professional speaker, teaching world-class business strategies and business tactics – averaging four days per week teaching.

Assuming 46 weeks per year teaching, multiplied by four days per week, multiplied by 10.3 years teaching  – roughly 2,000 days of keynote speeches, multi-day workshops, etc.

Even more staggering, to me, is to roughly estimate the average audience size to be 250.   The largest group I taught was 3,000.  The smallest, ten.

Bottom line?

I’ve taught over one-half million people.

That’s 500,000!   Wow!  Who knew?

Theme Park Rangers & Top Ten List

Orlando Sentinel has a feature called Theme Park Rangers.

They write the latest news from The Walt Disney Resort, Universal Studios, Sea World, Busch Gardens, and other Central Florida Tourist Attractions.

By the way, just or fun, here are the top reasons I have spent the past 25 years of my life working in Central Florida:

  1. The daily opportunity to make other people happy
  2. Palm trees and sunshine
  3. The fanatical focus on excellence
  4. The fanatical drive to be creative
  5. Unwavering belief in the value of memories
  6. Great leadership
  7. World class team work
  8. Our childlike enthusiasm for making work fun
  9. Wonderful people and wonderful relationships
  10. The cafeteria food  🙂

Make it a GREAT day.  Carpe diem, jungle jeff  🙂

Twitter This

Twitter This.

Even if you’re not into social media, social networking, or social marketing, that’s OK.

Many folks are resistant to change.  It’s human nature.    Neither bad nor good.   It is what it is.

However, there is also a classic truth:

The more things change, the more they stay the same.

Maybe it’s having an eight-year old in our house that inspires me to stay current.  Maybe it’s the fact that I can be enthusiastic about change and embrace it, or, I can be unenthusiastic and let it suffocate me.

Like I always say, “The choice is ours.  Always is, always has been”.

Today’s Orlando Sentinel article, Social network Twitter ushers in new era for athletes, is yet another story on social media becoming, well, socially acceptable.

Now if we can just figure this out for business…..

Branding Publicity Stunts?

Air Tran publicity “stunt”

Cirque du Soleil publicity “stunt”

Getting the word out about your business has never been more important. Never more difficult.

Why?

Because the Internet has opened the flood gates on the consumer attention span.

Good luck with your endeavors.  Hope today’s jungle jeff post inspires you to think differently and more creatively.  It sure has for me.

Carpe diem, jeff noel 🙂
