Why do you want to do this?

60-second video: Disney Keynote Speaker “sizzle” video:

Why do you want to do this?

You know why this is a critical question?

Because if you can’t fire up the leader of the other leaders, it’s over.

Hard stop.

Enthusiasm is the most contagious thing.

Second most contagious thing is the lack of enthusiasm.

Insight: You MUST have your act together. You MUST set the others on fire. And then they must set the rest of your organization on fire.

Kedron’s birthday wish

34-second video: A 2023 birthday surprise from Kedron.

Culture is what people think and do, without thinking.

Double-edge sword.

Produces excellence.

Or…

Erodes habits.

i hear non-Disney leaders think this way…

“I don’t give culture the benefit of the doubt and it’s uncomfortable for me to habitually, intentionally, over-focus on it… but by giving into those feelings, me and my organization are intentionally falling behind.”

What we accept by default becomes the standard.

You’re pro-culture or anti-culture.

Now ya know.

Take it

Disney University TV monitor messaging
When i turn my head slightly to the right, this is what i see.

This post is an intermission from sales talk…

Life is not a dress rehearsal…

On a recent 10-mile walk near Walt Disney World, i began by asking Siri to shuffle my music. There are 6k songs downloaded on the iPhone. Minuscule odds of this song playing in the first hour (or at all).

But it did.

In the moment, felt compelled to share it here.

Then doubt set in…

Unprofessional.

LinkedIn isn’t a place to play office-DJ.

No one has time to stop and watch a music video.

You’re wasting your time.

Don’t embarrass yourself.

Decided to simply smile at the momentary ‘ambition’ to share a song (and performance) that epitomizes passion…

And think about the blessings — being gifted with a new day.

Regret stinks. So here’s the message. Better one day late than never.

Someone is gonna see this for the first time (and get watery-eyed).

My mantra…every day, all day…

Life is not a dress rehearsal. Live like you mean it.
