Seeing what no one else sees and seeing more of it

There are countless distractions in a Cruise ship port, all of them intended to get you to impulse buy.

Walking past a bicycle like thousands do every day.

Walking past what everyone walks past but seeing something no one else sees.

And not only seeing what no one else sees, but seeing more of it than no one else sees.

Yesterday when we hid Janice’s birthday cake in the Senior Living Facility communal kitchen and my first thought was, “Look at all this table space. This would be a perfect place to lay out all seven story boards and get started.”

Disney really honed my thinking. i wasn’t thinking about the storyboards, but in seeing the large table space, i immediately remembered the opportunity and possibility.

Can’t turn it off.

It’s a blessing and a curse.

On April Fool’s Day 2009, jeff noel began writing five daily, differently-themed blogs (on five different sites). It was to be a 100-day self-imposed “writer’s bootcamp”, in preparation for writing his first book. He hasn’t missed a single day since.

Six days away from launching the next big thing

Deeply indebted to my colleagues at Disney Institute. Here are some of them in 2009, in Chicago.

Six days away from launching the next big thing.

Back in the day, the thought of writing a single Disney book felt overwhelming.

But with…

Growth.

Confidence.

Purpose.

Now, the goal is seven Disney books.

Wait until you hear the timeline for this impossible goal.

Pretty scary.

If Disney ran your business

Inspiring views never get old.

If Disney ran your business, we’d ask three simple questions:

What do your customers believe is your biggest promise to them?
How do you systematically deliver your promise at every touchpoint?
How important is connecting emotionally and how well do you do that with every customer?

There are many more questions but these are the baseline starting points.

Disney Brand Loyalty book

Disney Brand Loyalty book.

Coming sometime in 2016.

How is this possible?

No school on Friday, March 13, so we decided to have dinner at Epcot’s Katsura Grill. The annual International Flower and Garden Festival had recently begun and we enjoyed the walk back to the parking lot.

At a red light near Disney’s Old Key West Vacation Club – the Disney van in front of us, an aha moment. In the hundreds of times we’ve driven past Disney Golden Oak entrance, never noticed the hidden Mickey, which is obvious now.

What is also becoming obvious is that Mid Life Celebration’s unforeseen, yet temporary, transition to Disney Keynote speeches is taking off.

Signed the second Disney Leadership Keynote speaking contract yesterday and hours later, a new referral came in for a speaking engagement in Jackson Hole, Wyoming.

The long way is the shortcut.
