If we let it, our job is a great place to hide

If we let it, our job is a great place to hide.

Meetings, lists, projects.

Managerial stuff.

Makes us too busy for our art.

The work that matters. The work we leave undone.

(pause and think about that, then read on)

Hire someone great at managing things needing managed.

Become reacquainted with your highest form of contribution.

That’s your art.

Transform yourself into the artist you were born to be.

Better late than never.

The hurdle is this: completing the first step, which is recognizing in yourself what you were made to be.

On April Fool’s Day 2009, jeff noel began writing five daily, differently-themed blogs (on five different sites). It was to be a 100-day self-imposed “writer’s bootcamp”, in preparation for writing his first book. He hasn’t missed a single day since.

 

Disney deconstructed

Disney success formula jeff noel
Disney deconstructed from 30 years of .thinking .differently

 

If you could deconstruct and demystify Disney’s world class customer service formula, what would it look, sound, taste, smell, and feel like?

There are probably less than 100 Cast Members in the world who know how to tell you.

A handful of them can tell it exceptionally well.

And in that handful, what if one stands out for thinking deeper, caring more, reaching higher, and working harder?

Call or text (407-538-4341) to set up a call and i’ll give you a glimpse of what’s possible if we worked together to transform your organizational culture.

The tip of the iceberg is this:

Disney’s success comes from being intentional where others are unintentional.

Dennis Snow is a go-to Disney Keynote Speaker

DisneyWorld 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea
Dennis was Captain Nemo in his first Disney role in 1978.

 

Popular Disney Keynote Speakers
Dennis did a wonderful speech sharing three Disney Customer Service insights.

 

Dennis said he delivered 95 speeches last year. Assuming a minimum of two weeks vacation, that’s two speeches every week.

A significant amount of travel is required to accomplish this level of success.

i do not want to achieve the type of success that requires that much travel.

Sure, the money adds up, but at what cost?

Obviously for the right person, to have a job you love that allows for paid travel, that could be a dream come true.

There’s a reason this question is so important

Continuous improvement is Disney’s DNA.

 

Disney Customer Service Keynote Speaker
Yesterday’s 10-mile run included a walk through Disney’s Magic Kingdom.

 

There’s a reason this question is so important:

What’s the ratio between taking action based on our own original thought vs taking action based on someone else’s recipe for success?

Classic battle of crazy vs tried and true.

If all we had to do was follow the “success” recipe(s), we’d all be astonishing successful wouldn’t we?

We see what we want to see. Patience is a virtue that we will never believe in if we aren’t willing to have faith in our integrity and expertise.

Three days ago signed a three-day engagement contract with a local client.

Last night another client got the green light from their Board to engage in an external business advisor (possibly me).

Out of the blue yesterday, a third client reached out to continue discussion about engaging my Disney expertise.

Also yesterday, the person recommended to me to help market and support Community Programs across the US and Canada accepted the invitation to collaborate.

Spoke at length, again, two days ago to the Pod Caster running Lee Cockerell’s Creating Magic podcast. Lee made the recommendation to me.

And this morning at 7:00am, we drive our son to his first day of High School freshman year.
