Walt Disney said keep moving forward

Keynote presentation on iPhone
The venue is still using a VGA plug instead of an HDMI.

 

Walt Disney said, “We keep moving forward.”

The photographer will use my iPhone 7 Plus with it’s powerful camera.

The Keynote presentation will be run off the new 12-inch MacBook.

Looked good on paper. The 2016 12-inch MacBook (the newest) shouldn’t have to regress to the old VGA adapter, so

However, the (2016) 12-inch MacBook shouldn’t backslide to the old VGA adapter, so i didn’t buy one.

Why?

HDMI has replaced VGA connections.

But not everywhere.

Not at the Rosen College of Hospitality.

No problem. Using Disney creativity to quickly list options, the easy fix was eliminate the 7 Plus as a camera and use it as the laptop (for which i had a VGA adapter).

Our Son The photographer used his good iPhone 6 Plus to take pictures.

Classic Disney creativity scenario – an original plan unexpectedly falls apart and a new plan is quickly put in place and the Guests never have a clue.

Magic.

Make it fun even if it’s foreign to you

Disney Leadership Keynote Speaker jeff noel
Jack the bear is a road warrior, and he gets a lot of practice.

 

Anyone who’s great at what they do makes it look easy.

But it ain’t easy.

Practicing was much easier in real time at Disney. When you work for Disney Institute as a professional speaker, you speak nearly every day.

When you are a solo entrepreneur, your speaking engagements are farther apart. The only way to practice then is to do it over and over again without an audience.

So that’s what i’m doing.

Morning, noon and night.

Day in, day out.

Fun.

What is the point of a speech?

(photo: Was an audience member yesterday. The speech was for rural cellular service providers.)

What is the point of a speech?

Do we teach best that which we need the most to learn? Is it true we learn twice when we teach?

These two notions are the reason some speakers reach levels they never dreamed of?

The point of a speech is to engage the audience at a level, and in a manner, which a piece of paper or a web link can’t. Otherwise, we could simply read the notes.

The fine line between being lifted up and being a target

We met in 2009 at the National Speaker’s Association (NSA) Winter conference held at Walt Disney World and there was something special about Omekongo that you could simply feel in his presence.

Now it’s becoming clearer. This was a High School commencement speech he delivered the year before we met.

 

 

There’s a fine line between confidence and humility for an aspiring entrepreneur hoping to put a dent in the Universe.

Never succumb to the constant temptation to conform.

This is exactly what the herd is trying to do, not let you get ahead to the greener pasture.
