A man who broke his neck in eight places and was told he would never walk again is a recipient of new medicine at the Mayo Clinic that miraculously has him walking again.

Will Reeve, a reporter, is the son of Christopher Reeve, a famous actor who became a quadriplegic after being thrown from a horse during an equestrian event.

Last night on ABC Evening News, Will Reeve, who reported on this story, said:

I felt like I was witnessing the realization of my Father’s dream of a world of empty wheelchairs.

Clear. Concise. Compelling.

A world of empty wheelchairs.

What is the jeff noel Disney difference?

Disney Keynote Speakers
Will 2019 be your best year ever? These tiny trinkets are handmade and i procured almost 100 yesterday.

Texted myself a note yesterday.

What if you discovered that the most powerful, most effective, and the best, time-tested business wisdom was unbelievably simple?

Good news.

It is.

i learned it, did it, and taught it for 30-plus years as a Disney insider.

i guarantee you my approach is unique, different, compelling and simple.

i’ve dedicated my life to deconstructing and then reconstructing Disney operational DNA.

And i’ve been successfully and widely teaching this to others, since 1999.

This simple test should verify the critical business logic

On a scale of 1-10, with 10 being highest:

  • How fast do things change in your world?
  • What is the level of information overload?
  • How easily is information accessible?
  • How difficult is it to keep up with information?
  • How challenging is it to determine what’s most important?
  • How challenging is it to retain/remember what’s most important?

If ever there was a blinding flash of the obvious for why simple, key, repeatable messages must be the driving force of your leadership culture, is it not the wake-up call from your answers?

Brevity, simplicity, focus

Brevity, simplicity, focus.

In two and one half days, i’ll be leading a one-hour meeting with five others who have agreed to be part of a small team.

Nervous?

Yes.

Why?

Because this wasn’t part of my original vision.

Preaching brevity, simplicity, and focus is one thing.

Doing it is entirely different.

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.

Simplicity keeps coming up as a brand differentiator

Safari password example
One way i “write down” new passwords.

 

Told Gary that i use photos to capture notes. He then shared how photos are disrupting the way we do many things – finding new ways to use photos in ways we never used photos before.

And driving home I thought to myself i’d like to disrupt the way people think about leadership, employee culture, customer service, brand loyalty, and creativity & innovation.

To be able to explain how to do it with only three or four critical components.… that’s what’s missing… simplicity…people have too much to remember that they get so caught up in remembering that they don’t have great energy to execute.

But what if they didn’t have to work hard to remember things because it was so easy (to remember) and they could spend all their energy executing their plans?
