Fantastic

Blurred photo from Disney Leadership class
We had many moments like this one, yesterday.

 

Fantastic.

Every time i speak, i listen for the words people use when they say something to me afterwards.

There is a big difference in word choice and i’m only listening for one category of words.

i find solace in hearing words that revolve around yesterday’s key word choice – fantastic.

Note: When people say “that was really good”, i failed.

Let the workbook work begin

Disney University
Disney DNA starts here.

 

Let the workbook work begin. What kind of workbook would you design if Disney ran your business?

It would be something like this:

  • Simple
  • Easy and fun to use
  • Powerful
  • Tells a story you won’t tire hearing
  • Challenges you to do work that matters
  • A frequent resource (not a shelf decoration)

There, that’s not too difficult.

It takes a long time for lucky breaks to begin happening

Letter in mailbox
Had our 14-year old write a thank you note to the Director of Admissions two days ago.

 

After a third and final High School tour at 9am, i’ll begin the drive to Ft Lauderdale to deliver tomorrow’s Leadership Keynote Speech at the 2015 gMed Summit.

This is the first post-Disney retirement speech in which the audience is a mixture of attendees from many diverse healthcare providers.

This is the type of engagement in which future speaking opportunities generally come from.

Note to self: Hand-written thank you notes are rare, hence valuable.

Those thousands of Disney photos are great memories

A professional speaker’s office is a classroom or convention hall.

 

Tomorrow is the big day. Second audio visual check today. The one yesterday was helpful, but wasn’t in the exact room.

Today’s will be.

Presenters are the first ones in the room and the last to leave.

If a picture is worth a thousand words, the one above stimulates wonderful memories of doing work that matters with people dedicated to making (business) dreams come true.

Call came in from Malaysia

Disney Jungle Cruise boat bumper sticker
Yesterday, May 5, 2015…a cool bumper sticker.

 

Velarie is 12 hours ahead. No big deal. It was 8:45pm last night when she rang my iPhone.

She had Googled “Best HR Management speakers in USA”.

And found me a few weeks ago. We began emailing and finally arranged for last night’s call.

Marcus Evans is a global event company. While speaking to 100 Malaysian Government sector HR executives for free will not work out, perhaps another event with a larger, more profit centered audience will.

Time will tell.

It always does.
