Your groove

disney Customer service speaker Jeff Noel sitting on a chair on a stage
Becoming a public speaker was scary enough. Doing it without slides after 2,000 speeches? Remarkable. Freedom.

In your early career years, you easily get into your groove which becomes a lifetime habit that creates a rut so deep, you can’t climb out.

Freedom, a way out, from this trap is discovering what doesn’t feel like work. Then setting out to make your get-to-do purpose more than your have-to-do work.

How important is your contribution?

Disney leadership speaker
Ever heard of the concept of purpose versus task?

 

How important is your contribution?

Are you trained to meet customer expectations?

Or are you trained to exceed them?

Doing your task (your job) well is designed to meet expectations.

Doing more than your task (more than your job) is designed to exceed expectations.

A remarkably small tweak in the culture that has magnified Disney as the world’s greatest customer service organization.

Every moment of every day, if you forget

Best Disney Keynote Speakers
The moment when you realize not only did the work you do matter, but the way you did it mattered even more.

 

Every moment of every day that you are working, it’s easy to forget.

And if you forget…

If you forget why you’re there, you lose your inspiration to consistently do remarkable work.

Think task versus purpose.

Medical practice patient restroom

 

(photo: An empty soap dispenser sends the wrong message, on so many levels.)

Her (the medical receptionist): Do you have an appointment?

Him: (Rather than say, did you not read the sign-in sheet after you took it from the counter top where it was filled it out in front of you?) He said, yes.

Either she thought he was lying (which is creepy) or she was on auto-pilot.

How does that make a patient feel?

One of the most important jobs a leader has is to ensure moments like these never happen.

Everyone knows their job.

Few have a compelling hopeful reason to do more than they are paid to do.

You know, the little common courtesies that aren’t so common anymore.

All day. Everyday.
