Considering opening the psychologic vault to 30 years of Disney insider experiences.
The idea came yesterday while thinking about what to write about on April Fool’s Day 2015 (tomorrow) – the first day of the seventh year.

The Disney heritage stories are as common as the prolific sable palm trees (the Florida State Tree). The vintage Disney photos are often rare. Never saw the photo above until yesterday on the Facebook group, “We worked at the Contemporary back in the ’80’s“.
The Hotel rooms were constructed offsite, but still on Disney Property, by US Steel, in a modular fashion and literally slid into the large A-Frame structure.
The room construction was rumored to be so complete that the carpet was installed and even the light bulbs were screwed into the lamps.

Spent 30 years on the front line, eventually understanding the front line is where joy reigns.
There’s no happiness in the future. Yet we bank on it anyway.
What the heck?
Seriously.
Ask yourself to prove this doesn’t apply to you.
Self reflection?
Look around at the people above you on the org-chart. Are they ridiculously happy?
(Pause for the reflection and crickets.)

It’s a habit either way, so why not pick the better one?

Solution? Yes. Make it a habit to do the same thing, just three seconds sooner, as you’re facing each other.
Every organization has a culture.
Either by design or by default.

Balance is the future of work. Or so some claim.
Impossible, right?
Probably.
That’s why Mid Life Celebration set out in 1999 to make it happen in spite of it’s nonexistence in the workplace.
Necessity is the mother of invention.
Mid Life Celebration will not receive any awards for creating the formula for balance, but it’s founder, jeff noel, did receive The Walt Disney Lifetime Achievement Award, twice, during his 30-years Disney career.
PS. This is only important if you are looking to hire the best catalytic keynote speaker money can buy. If you’re going to believe in something important, believe in it all the way.
Why?
It’s contagious.
(also extremely contagious is not believing all the way)
