Organized to finish writing seven Disney Business Books

St Mary Lake
Heading to Glacier National Park five times this year – seven Disney Business Books to finish.

 

Organized to finish writing seven Disney Business Books?

Sure seems so.

Took an intentional and extended break from finishing the seven Disney Books.

The reflection on how the books have been created, how far they’ve come, and the final push to cross the finsih line, is, well, motivating and inspiring me to finish them in a way i didn’t see coming.

Poised for the best Summer ever?

Sure seems so.

Disney Keynote Speaker Google description #5

Disney Keynote Speakers Orlando
Energetic and fun. Always and without exception.

 

Disney Keynote Speakers Orlando
Slow it down, focus, draw the audience in with emotion and insight. Always and without exception.

 

Disney Keynote Speakers Orlando
Client relationships – this client knows i pound through water so they over-focused. Then i built a water bottle castle. Notice Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck?

 

keynote speech prep
Meeting a client for the first time in Lee Cockerell’s living room, while he was in the middle of a video shoot. Lee led 40k Cast Member for a decade. He’s my favorite Disney mentor.

 

Disney Keynote Speakers Orlando
Gave away a million (plus or minus…it felt like it anyway) of these Disney Characters as positive reinforcement for audience participation.

 

Disney Keynote Speakers Orlando
Occasionally, i left my driveway and returned to it on the same day. And occasionally, across the United States, my stage was center court, or the Super Dome end zone. Pictured above is the Orlando Magic’s home court – the Amway Center.

 

Be prepared to be wowed. Jeff’s signature Disney speaking style is engaging, energetic, insightful, interactive, thought-provoking. His profound, context-neutral business messages, delivered with Disney creativity, apply to every employee in every industry. No one leaves his speech until they have accepted his unique challenge.

Ok, organize the 60-minute Disney coaching keynote

Toxic work environments
Toxic. i wouldn’t touch this speech with a 10-foot pole. This is a result of poor (and non-existent) coaching.

 

 

60-minute coaching keynote outline:

Assumptions:

  • Your end goal: Each participant wants to enhance their coaching conversations to become a better coach.
  • Your Theme: CEO of You, Inc.

Three simple things constantly required for Disney Backstage Magic

Disney Keynote Speakers
A moment in time. Photos: Michele Sindy 2013.

 

Disney Keynote Speakers
Thank you Michele for taking these photos.

 

Photos from the Christmas trip to Allentown, Pennsylvania aren’t uploaded to iCloud because our apartment doesn’t offer wifi.

Why tell you that?

Because this requires me to find photos to use from somewhere other than yesterday.

Randomly stumbled upon the Legacy Award folder and now you understand a “backstage” process – faced with a challenge no one knows about, you find a (1) quick, (2) easy, and (3) fun solution.

Happy present moment.

Decide what you want to be personally at home

Brian Solis book
Brian Solis has a great reputation. He authored the book above. PS. Recycled this book (among others) last week – many of them sent to me by publishers showcasing different book styles.

 

Disney Storyboarding
The next photo requires your best estimate of Walt Disney’s age and corresponding Company milestones.

 

Disney Storyboarding
Storyboarding is a section of Brian Solis’s book.

 

Disney Keynote Speakers
Read the bottom caption…and remember that Snow White premiered on December 21,  1937…storyboarding Snow White would have happened 1934-35. Walt was born in 1901.

 

Disney Keynote Speakers
How old does Walt look in this photo? Does he look 33 or 34? No one is perfect – this is a huge error, but the world is too busy to notice. be careful what you read and believe.

 

Decide what you want to be personally at home.

Organized or not?

Clean or not?

Intentional or not?

Lean or not?

PS. Here’s what Walt looked like a couple years after the storyboard sessions, during Snow White’s premeire in 1937.

Bonus: Video of Walt and opening night moments.
