Loyalty, Disney Style

As Keynote speaking tips are discovered, they get shared at junglejeff.net for you.

If you have any desire to speak or to become a better speaker, an example of eight sound speaking tips is here.

Did you know? A few years before retiring from Disney in 2014, there was a personal idea (and challenge) to begin omitting “i, me, my, mine” in all communications: email, text, written notes.

Why?

Subconsciously, most of us communicate selfishly.

Start taking a closer look at the messages you receive. Count the ratio between the sender’s “i, me, my, mine” versus the sender’s “you, your, our, us, and we”.

Almost to a fault, we are internally (personally) focused versus externally (the receiver) focused.

Count the “i’s, me’s, my’s and mine’s”(ommitting the ones in “parenthesis” to explain the concept). Do the same with “you, your, our, us, we”.

Totals (excluding the one in “parenthesis”):

i, me, my, mine = 0

you, your, our, us, we = 5

Playing it safe is risky

If shoes change dramatically, so will everything else. Exciting. Risky.

Playing it safe is risky.

Looking to retire a lifetime wardrobe of Disney business suites for something new.

Why?

Old school thinking (business suit and tie) is now my choice to embrace or discard.

i’m in charge of everything.

Everything?

Yes.

Such as travel structure and processes.

Think simple, lean, easy, scalable.

To structure travel using only a small day-hike backpack, drastic changes need to happen.

To stay active while traveling, i need running shoes.

To also carry business dress shoes is cumbersome and redundant. Why have two pairs of shoes for a short trip?

This means being onstage in running shoes.

This fundamentally changes everything about my personal brand.

Can you imagine me speaking for Disney Institute in running shoes?

Disney Keynote Speakers, the most engaging ones anyway, use a creative toolbox of strategies and tactics to maximize audience engagement.

Disney Keynote Speakers
Disney Keynote Speakers must never tire from the volume and repetition of their speaking engagements. My creativity in mixing things up is as much for me as it is for the audience.
