Disney University Consultants — i missed Bob’s going away party at DU two days ago because i had already committed to the opportunity to benchmark Doug Lipp in Illinois.

Disney is Family.

Disney is famous.

Disney is world-class.

My friend Bob is one of only a handful of Disney leaders who’ve taught at both Disney Institute and Disney University.

The plan to share his final lunch at DU’s Stage Door Cafe fell through, so i arrived at DU to visit with him at his office after 4pm.

There’s A Funny Paradox When It Comes To Looking Stupid

There’s a funny paradox when it comes to looking stupid as a grown man or woman. ~~Creativity~~ curiosity often looks silly or ridiculous. This University of Iowa squirrel looked funny carrying a giant chocolate chip cookie. Ultimately though, it was the grown man (me) stalking Mrs. Squirrel that really looked funny.

Are You An Investor?

Yesterday, a buddy from Church, and a fellow Cub Scout Dad sent me an email with this advertisement for a professional development opportunity here in Orlando, later this Fall.

When you do the right things for the right reasons, eventually, you begin to see dividends, but only if you don’t give up and if you never tire of the basics.

Continually learning, through books, seminars, blogs, university, volunteering, will pay dividends, but only if you consider yourself an investor.

Hire a CPA or Do It Yourself?

MBA courses insist you take accounting. Ever hear an MBA student rave about their accounting classes? Wouldn’t it make more sense to teach students what to look for in a good CPA?

Don’t leaders in organizations have finance departments?

Isn’t the leader’s purpose to lead? To set the course? To dream, to communicate and to inspire the vision?

Maybe I’m missing something. Maybe I’m not.

So, just wanted to get our minds thinking about this.

All I’m pointing out is that society places a certain “worth” on an MBA degree. I’m not disagreeing with that.

Society also places a certain worth on reading the best selling business books. Not disagreeing with that either.

For me, what it all comes down to is that degrees, or books, don’t matter much if you can’t translate what you know – into something much better than before.

It’s almost like buying a gym membership, or exercise equipment, but not using it.
