But if you leave, then what?

Prevailing wisdom says you cannot be a prophet in your hometown. In this case, the hometown is Disney and Disney Institute (DI).

As a DI speaker, you are paid a couple hundred bucks a day. Everything else goes to the Organization. It’s the way it works. No harm, no foul. It’s clear and if you don’t like it, you can leave.

But if you leave, then what?

Real life in real time really truly comes to life.

Or not.

Depends on the person’s will to succeed and the value they bring.

Yesterday’s Fortune 150 client paid the going rate for a world-class (Disney) Keynote speech. If you’re not familiar, it starts at $16k and goes up from there. Call anyone who can offer such compelling content and request a quote for a (Disney) Keynote Speaker.

When you become the Organization, you skyrocket past a couple hundred.

It takes guts to ask for such a fee.

It takes a prophet to earn that fee.

The world has always become a better place by having courageous people do things that matter, in spite of their fear and doubt.

Yes, i’m talking to you. If you hate cubicle nation for any reason (and there’s a diverse list of reasons), get busy working on becoming the Organization. Become an entrepreneur.

It took over six years to earn my first dime, but it was a big dime.

i’m here to feed (for free) your desire to overcome those million obstacles and excuses you keep staring at.

The biggest subconscious let downs with keynote speeches

Disney University
Very first day as a Disney Cast Member was here, January 25, 1982. Photo, yesterday, January 8, 2015.

 

Two things that a keynote speaker should consider avoiding:

  1. Not gonna tell you what you already know. What’s the point?
  2. Not gonna tell you the amazing thing somebody else did. What’s the point?

No one does anything with this information.

All it does is excite us for an hour or two.

A bit like a one-night stand, to be honest.

What you’ll get from my keynotes is this:

Remarkably deeper, different, and simpler insights than you’ve ever been exposed to before.

Tell us what you do differently. Tell us how it’s changed you. Speak from nothing but experience. Keep your theories and rhetoric to yourself.

This is the long awaited antidote to the two biggest subconscious let downs with keynote speeches.

A bit like deep, long-lasting love, to be honest.

Who should be the deepest thinker in any room?

Orlando Based Former Disney Speakers

The Internet has changed everything and made it even more difficult (distracting information overload) to focus with a laser beam on the target, which is to deliver uncompromising business excellence.

At a packed conference, or in a corporate meeting room, who should be the deepest thinker in the room?

The speaker.

The speaker will never be intimate with how your industry works, but they darn sure better be intimate with the most powerful business questions every organization should be constantly asking themselves.

Good and very good aren’t good enough in some circles

The author has 3.4M G+ followers. Wow.

Interesting spin. He shares a good dose of common sense. Yet some easy, remarkable tips are missing.

Ever attend a presentation were the speaker to listener ratio occasionally was between 1:5 and even as low as 1:1?

In an audience of 250 with one presenter, the speaker to listener ratio is 1:250.

What happens when the speaker to listener ration is dramatically low?
