Mid – Page 25 – Disney Brand Loyalty Keynote Speaker

Orlando’s jungle jeff Air Tran WOW!

Orlando’s jungle jeff is still talking about his Air Tran experience.

OK, this is the final Air Tran installment – two more jeff noel You Tube videos.

This is all my eight-year old son’s fault. When he was born, I shelved our 35mm SLR camera with the wide-angle and telephoto lens, and bought a Sony digital camera – the smallest, pocket-style one they made. I currently have the Sony T-70. It’s always in my pocket. Always!

The best way to get people enthusiastic is to be enthusiastic.

Don’t believe it. Try getting people to be enthusiastic about something important, using a sincere lack of enthusiasm. Ya with me?

So here are Air Tran You Tube videos – parts two and three:

So what does all this mean?

At the end of the second video (part three), you hear me say, “Are you trying to get better everyday? I know Air Tran is”?

Are the people around you committed to getting better? I bet they are.

But if they’re not, take a look in the mirror. Do you see a mountain of enthusiasm?

Best wishes for continued success. Carpe diem, jungle jeff 🙂

PS. While everyone is working desperately hard to survive these turbulent economic times, there is also an invisible opportunity in our midst. I’ll write more about it later.

Orlando’s jeff noel & Branding

Orlando’s jeff noel talks about Air Tran’s quest for excellence and domination in a tough business and even tougher economy.

Here’s jeff noel’s You Tube video from June 4, on a return trip from the University of Pittsburgh to Orlando.

Watch this You Tube video on Air Tran’s Branding to see what I’m talking about:

Every day is a great day to Brand Yourself. Carpe diem, jungle jeff 🙂

Disney, Branding, Disney?

Personal branding is something we are all aware of, right? Just like personal wellness is something we are all aware of. Are you with me?

OK, so we know these things, but the people who actually get great results, versus good results, are those that work the hardest.

Seriously, it’s what we all know to be true, but hate to admit.

Why, because hard work is, well, hard.

Here’s a case in point from my early morning drive to work this past Friday.

Like Tiger told me a year ago, “Out work ’em”!

Words to live by, but only if you want to get great results.

If great results are not part of your responsibilities, then I would just enjoy this post for what it is.

A personal opinion expressed by someone brought up in a culture where getting great results is a personal brand.

Carpe diem, jungle jeff 🙂

Is Disney’s Enthusiasm Transferable?

Is Disney’s Enthusiasm transferable?

I believe it is 100 percent transferable.

You know what is the second most contagious thing in the world?

Seriously, take a guess.

It’s the lack of enthusiasm.

Then what’s number one?

ENTHUSIASM!

Walt Disney invented many things, was the “first to market” with many things, and Walt Disney did things people around him thought were crazy or even impossible.

But one thing Walt Disney didn’t do was invent enthusiasm. Yet, he had more of it than just about anyone in history.

Enthusiasm is everywhere. Enthusiasm is free. Enthusiasm is our choice. It is the same in any language.

A few people know that, due to health reasons, I became a runner over ten years ago. However, when I came to the fork in the road, I took it (thank you Yogi Berra). I did not become a marathoner.

Quite the opposite actually.

I’m a 400-meter runner. A one-lap sprint. As a Master’s Track & Field athlete, the USATF All-American standard of excellence is 57.5. I have enthusiastically run under 56 seconds multiple times.

For a 50-year old, that is spectacular.

And yet, it pales in comparison to the 400 meter world record, held by USA’s Michael Johnson, at 43.18.

Do yourself a favor and watch this 60-second You Tube clip of Michael Johnson. Listen to the voice of the announcer, who does not speak English, but it doesn’t matter.

You can tell something amazing is in progress as you can hear and feel the announcer’s enthusiasm build.

As you watch it, may I challenge you to ask yourself, “Am I enthusiastic”?

Not only does Michael Johnson win, he completely and utterly dominates the other world-class athletes.

That’s the goal in business – do something spectacular, make a mark on the world, and be recognized as the clear and dominant leader in your field.

Good luck and carpe diem, jungle jeff 🙂

How Many Disney Blogs Are There?

Disney Blogs?

This is an interesting question, to me. It begs a few more questions:

How many?
About what?
Who writes them?
How often?
Which are best?
Official or unofficial?
Free or fee?

At age 50, I’ve seen a lot, done a lot, read a lot, thought a lot, wrote a lot, laughed a lot, cried a lot……

Let’s sort to the “thought a lot”.

Every human has a special gift. And some humans have multiple gifts.

Some have realized their gift(s). Others will eventually. And still others may never.

I told you that, to tell you this: In my 25 years working in Central Florida, someone once told me, “No one thinks deeper, reaches higher, works harder or cares more than Jeff Noel”.

I humbly submit to you, that if you follow this blog, you will be surprised and delighted as it evolves. It will help you personally and professionally. It will challenge you to think.

******* That’s my personal guarantee to you. *******

Carpe diem and happy dreaming, jungle jeff 🙂
