Disney’s biggest business secret

Jeff noel's organizational vibrancy matrix
Disney makes common sense common practice. There. That’s the secret…

Disney’s secret to success is over-managing things others either under-manage or ignore. Over-managing is extraordinary attention to detail, being intentional, and the antithesis of micromanaging.

Become it, then preach it

Disney Keynote speaker Jeff Noel with Mickey and Minnie
Blurry photos can be awesome. Cheryl and i celebrated our 30th year of Disney Service this evening in 2014. Cheryl went on to reach 36 years of Disney Service as a Disney Human Resources Exectutive.

Become the podcast, then host it. Become the book, then write it. Become the leader, then teach it.

Snug as a bug

Christmas card from Disney Keynote Speaker Jeff Noel
The original goal was to use this every year. Only made it one year. ‘Later’ is where dreams go to die.

Easy to get stuck when trying to fit a mold or model that isn’t for you.

Fear is an unwelcome Leadership companion

keynote slide print out
This photo is from a slide deck for a Creativity Keynote in Orlando. Delivered 2,000 Disney Keynote speeches since 1999. The first speech without slides was a filmed TEDx Talk at American University of Kuwait. That same keynote was also my first recorded speech. This was a dramatic leap in discomfort.

Fear is unnecessary attachment to things, people, and habits.
