standards – Disney Brand Loyalty Keynote Speaker

Up your game?

Lion sleeping on a rock — Disney’s Animal Kingdom. Couple days ago.

Most of us don’t know what we don’t know.

Breakthroughs are possible when a person recognizes how much they don’t know, and fanatically pursues closing the gap.

If you’re not fanatical about what you do, yet you think you’re pretty good, maybe it’s time to up your game.

Note: Fanaticism is the only approach that figures out how to keep moving forward when the going gets tough. And the going always gets tough.

Disney Keynote Speaker Jeff Noel — Every Cast Member learns on Day One the supreme goal of all customer interactions. And then we talk about the bullseye every day for the rest of their Disney career. Disney is not even remotely interested in hitting the target. The bullseye is the only goal.

i love this place. i love this moment.

Note: During my Disney career from 1982-2014, never once called a Guest a customer. Using customer in this post to speak the language of ‘outsiders’, the unindoctrinated.

Should we lower our standards?

Who in their right mind spends this much time, thought, energy, and money on something as unimportant as themed trash cans?

Should we lower our standards?

Each of us is a VIP.

A Very Individual Person.

Each of us has a set of standards for our life, compartmentalized by big life choices (mind, body, spirit, work, home).

While life’s five big choices are independent, they are also co-dependent and symbiotic.

Take work/career.

You have your professional standards.

They serve you and are the foundation for all your professional accomplishments, your skills, and productivity.

Would you, or should you, lower them?

Yeah, i don’t want to lower mine either.

So where do we go from here?

Is the industry standard something you have to accept?

Speaking of failing to succeed…

Are you a purple cow?

No?

Then why should anyone pay attention to you?

The aspiring Disney animator jumped at the chance to speak with me (for free).

Our conversation was yesterday while walking to the gym.

One of the first things he shared was a story of him dragging his mom to the wall he had drawn on, “Look mommy, it says I am an animator.”

From that, later in our conversation, i suggested that maybe what makes him a purple cow is his ability to pretend and (possibly) to get others to pretend.

He was astonished and inspired.

What’s your purple cow?

What is the speed of excellence?

The challenge with speed, that is overlooked by harried CEOs, is the pace may seem appropriate, but the direction is off course.

Age-old conundrum: don’t mistake activity for productivity.
