Disney Brand Loyalty Keynote Speaker
Five daily blogs about life's 5 big choices on five different sites.
Never is the culture of an organization tested more than in stressful economic times. Adversity doesn’t develop character, it reveals it. Holiday stress just makes a challenging situation worse. Signs and symbols are the visual language that shapes employee (and customer) thinking. Yet busy leaders have no idea what jeff noel is talking about right now.

Passion. Bet you have a ton of passion.
Maybe you’re in a job where your passion thrives. Maybe you’re not.
Does passion make for a better worker?
Do you do your best work around something you’re passionate about?
How many leaders are in positions that got them a better title, a better paycheck, better meetings, and better perks, but took them further from their passion?
And then there are people who have found their passion, their dream job, but over the years they have allowed things beyond their control to poison themselves.
Imagine your own situation.
“Who needs this”?, is stereotypically said in a sarcastic tone, and maybe even with our arms thrown up in the air is frustration. Can you picture it?
But that’s not what I mean here. Not today ever.
Today, in these tough economic times, these extraordinarily turbulent world times, we need this.
We need leaders.
Not managers. Well, we need managers, but not as much as we desire leaders.
We need someone with passion to make a difference.
Most humans are hard-wired to do good – to make a difference. But most are hard-wired, also, to fear. Fear keeps good people, who want to make a difference, in the shadows, where it’s safe.
We don’t need any more people in the shadows. it’s too crowded there. We need people to go out in the sun, and lead the others who want to make a difference, but have no one to follow.
Motivation is like a meal. Seriously. But we all forget.
Should an Annual Conference’s motivational effects last all year?
Should monthly meetings keep teams inspired all month?
Weekly meetings? Will the excitement last all week?
Daily meetings? All day?
After breakfast, most humans are ready to be nourished again at lunch. Even after two decent meals, most are ready for a third meal in the evening.
We even throw in snacks to help sustain us. Why?
Because motivation, inspiration and excitement begin to subside within hours, just like meals.
Do you have any idea what this means to you and me as effective leaders?
Speaking in front of others is something every leader must do, and should do well. The better you become at public speaking, the better you become as a leader. It’s intuitive that this makes sense, right?
Today’s post is actually an entry on my “National Speakers Association” page, so you’d be unlikely to read it without this convenient link:

The top ten list will save you time, because I’ve highlighted the best of the best. I composed the top ten list from memory – meaning, after three weeks, here are the key take-aways. They help me and they will most likely help you.
Great leaders know the value of being able to convey their vision, mission and brand. Great leaders create a compelling picture of the future. One that inspires passion and interest, and clearly communicates the organization’s values.
Make it a GREAT day, because if you don’t, who will? Carpe diem, jungle jeff 🙂
