Institute – Disney Brand Loyalty Keynote Speaker

Vision statement’s harsh reality

Instagram screen shot with creating habits tip — Success should always feel satisfying. The journey may not be, especially at first. And again when you realize the goal isn’t to get there, it’s to stay there. This is when temptation becomes compelling.

From yesterday’s blog: People bank on a vision statement to be more important than the organizational vision. Harsh reality, no one knows what the vision statement is. Weirdly, every organization has a vision statement, yet it’s literally worthless. Why? Because no one knows it.

Therefore…

Collective, enterprise-wide leader’s visions are what can, and should, ignite excellence.

But few know its power and worth.

Anyone can dispute and/or disagree with what i just said, but my research is deep and broad.

i kid you not, this is a perverse and pervasive reality.

My research also exposes that leaders aren’t leading, they’re managing.

“Managers” do not create transformational, inspiring change by managing their way forward.

Insight: Try picturing Martin Luther King saying, “I have a strategic plan.”

Vision vs vision statement

Disney customer service speaker jeff noel — i love writing these blogs. There’s so much opportunity to say whatever i want to say. Blogging on breaks from the all day hurricane Milton cleanup.

Until my role at Disney Institute, i never considered the difference between a vision and a vision statement.

i was enlightened to discover the difference is remarkable. And, additionally, i unintentionally discovered most never consider the important difference (unless they were in my classes).

As a bonus, this enlightenment literally set me free to uniquely own my personal leadership journey.

For tomorrow’s blog: people bank on a vision statement to be the most important. But no one knows what it is.

Magic for Sale

Disney Keynote Speakers — Yeah, i know a thing or two about Disney.

Magic for Sale?

Yes, since 1984-ish, when Tom Peters released the book, “In Search of Excellence”.

We began packaging our world-class Disney business insights and ran seminars out of Disney University until we needed a new venue, and thus Disney Institute was born.

You can also buy some Magic formulas from me and a host of other Disney Keynote Speakers.

You won’t believe what you can do

Disney Institute Keynote Speakers — Found this yesterday while clearing older business clothes from the closet. In a suit jacket pocket. The figure in the old Disney Institute logo is named Ted.

You won’t believe what you can do.

Ted goes from trying to soaring in the Disney Institute logo.

Disney University was the original Disney Institute

Disney University Speakers — More Spring cleaning yesterday.

Disney University Seminars — Back cover…Disney University Professional Development Programs…do you know how old this is?

Disney University was the original Disney Institute.

Few, if any, know this.

Why?

Because it’s not important.

But knowing it, and living through it, help me convince my audiences that it’s not the Magic that makes it work, it’s the work that makes it Magic.

The reason professional development left Disney University (DU) is that DU no longer had the room, nor staff, to train “outsiders”.

Coincidently, a new brainchild from Michael and Jane Eisner was the concept of “Smart Fun”.

In addition to Disney Adult Discoveries (we nicknamed them DAD Programs) and Personal Enrichment Programs (like animation), there was an opportunity to move DU Seminars to the new Disney Institute.

And that’s what happened in 1996.
