TEDx Talk in Kuwait

Disney TEDx Speaker
On average, overnight success takes about a decade.

TEDx Talk in Kuwait is being proposed for late April by my agent, Thinking Heads.

Here are some notes for the proposal:

Assumptions:

  • 12-16 minute speech
  • Clear, concise, and compelling idea
  • Universal application
  • Easy and immediate implementation
  • Inspiring

Thesis:

  • Personal and professional vibrancy is overwhelming because our goal is incorrect and going the extra mile to reach the goal is a flawed proposition

World Challenge:

  • To simplify and scale exceptional service for everyone we encounter, every day

World Solution:

  • Unveil the blinding flash of the obvious that aiming for satisfaction is dangerous
  • Revealing the paradox of going the extra mile by illustrating going the extra inch

Bonus: 

  • Issue a 72-hour challenge for the audience to implement the ridiculously easy solution of going the extra inch and to teach it to others

Ultimate outcome:

  • Make our world an exponentially happier and more vibrant place not only for the recipient but also for the giver

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

Untuckit store in Orlando
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?
