Disney Brand Loyalty Keynote Speaker
Five daily blogs about life's 5 big choices on five different sites.
Is your corporate culture “By Design” or “By Default“?
Do you even know what I’m taking about?
Is your personal culture “By Design” or “By Default“?
Or, does your culture “just sort of happen”?
I’d bet a majority of you still don’t know what I’m talking about. That’s ok. No worries. Hakuna matata.
When the student is ready, the teacher will appear.
Make your day purposeful, by design. If you don’t, who will? Carpe diem, jungle jeff 🙂

Enjoy your day and try to laugh in these turbulent times. Carpe diem, jungle jeff 🙂
Ever heard that phrase, the one that an angry, frustrated adult might say to a young child, “Because I said so?”
Most of us have heard it. Most of us have also said it. “Because I said so!”
I know when I hear an adult saying this to a child, there is absolutely no mistaking who’s in charge, is there?
It’s crystal clear, isn’t it?
Why? Not really sure. It just is. Period. End of story.
Same with the Walt Disney Company.
Why do they focus on, and some might even say obsess over, the small details that most people will never notice?
Because Walt said so!
That’s good enough for me. I’ve heard enough stories about what their founder valued that it’s crystal clear to me what I should do everyday.
How is it with you and your people, in your organization?
Most people haven’t got time, or motivation, to think about simple questions like this.
And people wonder why it’s so challenging to get people motivated to do a great (not good) job.
I’m certain, today, that being a great organization starts with me.
What are you certain about?
Please consider making it a GREAT day, because if you don’t, who will? Carpe diem, jungle jeff 🙂
Speaking in front of others is something every leader must do, and should do well. The better you become at public speaking, the better you become as a leader. It’s intuitive that this makes sense, right?
Today’s post is actually an entry on my “National Speakers Association” page, so you’d be unlikely to read it without this convenient link:

The top ten list will save you time, because I’ve highlighted the best of the best. I composed the top ten list from memory – meaning, after three weeks, here are the key take-aways. They help me and they will most likely help you.
Great leaders know the value of being able to convey their vision, mission and brand. Great leaders create a compelling picture of the future. One that inspires passion and interest, and clearly communicates the organization’s values.
Make it a GREAT day, because if you don’t, who will? Carpe diem, jungle jeff 🙂
Do I practice what I preach? Do you?
This is a follow-up post to yesterday’s interesting challenge about “mistakes” smart people make.
Funny thing is, I’m often tempted to judge myself based entirely on my intentions.
The fundamental change brought about by teaching – and they say to teach is to learn twice – is that I’m much more aware of my blind spots.
So, I rewrote my 463-word vision/mission statement, created in 1995 after reading Stephen Covey’s classic, “The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People”.
It went from 463 words to two words!
So easy even a caveman can remember it.
Make it a GREAT day, because if you don’t, who will. Carpe diem jungle jeff 🙂
