i am not the only expert in the room

Creative facilitation techniques
One of many classroom activities that reduces the “speaker-to-listener” ratio.

 

i am not the only expert in the room.

But i am the only Disney expert in the room.

Have you had the good fortune to be at a conference where there’s an astonishing ripple-effect buzz from one of the presentations?

What allows that to happen?

My job is to keep the audience – no matter the size or demographic – so engaged, they never have a chance to be bored, distracted, or disengaged.

My job is to have everyone walking out of the room .thinking . differently than they did when they entered.

May i be so bold as to say that expertise goes beyond content? Expertise in this arena is rare – the expertise to involve all the other experts in the room.

Disney Leadership Keynote Speaker

Disney Leadership Keynote Speaker
Spring Grove, Pennsylvania is my hometown. Every Cast Member submits their “hometown” which is then personalized on their name tag.

 

The second “real page” in the workbook says:

Lead like you mean it.

The world needs great leaders.

PS. Leadership is not a title, although it can be. The leadership i’m talking about starts with the person in your mirror every morning.

Pamela really wants jeff noel’s feedback

Ellie Caulkins Opera House event
My seat is front row, center.

 

Pamela really wants jeff noel’s feedback.

Why?

Guess.

Sorry, that was arrogant wasn’t it?

We see what we want to see.

It is quiet, secure confidence.

You want to be on a stage and light a room of 600 on fire, you better damn well have confidence pouring out your veins.

PS. Note…that is what positive self-talk looks like. i never say stuff like that publicly. Every once in awhile, though, i write it here in the (faint) hope that if something bad ever happens to me, our son will have a chance to discover some of this.

Is access to a Disney career insider worth it’s weight in gold?

MOO Business card featuring Gapingvoid art
One side of a different business card.

 

Began packing yesterday for the first business flight of 2015.

Denver.

Copyblogger’s Authority Rainmaker two-day conference on Content Marketing.

Submitted an offer to be a speaker’s coach for every speaker presenting over both days. It was a long shot because in exchange, i asked that the registration fee be waived.

My offer included me paying all my own travel expenses.

Was it the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to learn from a Disney career insider that made their answer, “Yes”.
