The goal of every interaction.

 

Be in the fun business.

Unless you like stress.

High expectations and pressures are always going to be there.

Writing advice 101

Disney Leadership Speaker
Case in point, Peter Drucker, thank you.

The goal of the sentence you’re reading is to get you to want to read the next sentence.

 

On a recent call with an aspiring future Disney Cast Member – who lives in New England – i was disenchanted by the sheer size and quantity of her cover-letter paragraphs.

i didn’t want to read her cover letter (i promised i would) because it looked so typical.

And boring.

Mind-numbing, really.

A week later, i finally mustered the patience and energy to tackle it.

Ugh.

My summary…

“I’ve loved Disney since I was a child.”

“My first trip to Disney, etc, etc.”

“I truly admire the Disney way.”

“I’ve always wanted to work for Disney.”

Typical.

Predictable.

Plain vanilla.

She took the feedback well yesterday.

Perfect.

What are you willing to sacrifice?

Disney leadership speaker
How badly do you want to succeed?

 

If your passion and purpose aren’t worth defending, you will never excel at what you claim is important to you and your organization.

This is extremely contagious

Disney leadership speaker
Enthusiasm often described as passion, is extremely contagious.

 

This is extremely contagious.

What?

Enthusiasm.

Careful though.

The second most contagious thing in the world is the lack of enthusiasm.

How important is your contribution?

Disney leadership speaker
Ever heard of the concept of purpose versus task?

 

How important is your contribution?

Are you trained to meet customer expectations?

Or are you trained to exceed them?

Doing your task (your job) well is designed to meet expectations.

Doing more than your task (more than your job) is designed to exceed expectations.

A remarkably small tweak in the culture that has magnified Disney as the world’s greatest customer service organization.
