It was my duty to say this a thousands of times, and have each time sound like the first.

 

Say it a thousand times, each one like it’s the first.

It’s the story’s details that make every Cast Member’s work performance so critical. Anything less than your best each time detracts from the storyline.

Think of me as a corporate architect

Coming in 35 days or less…a brand new Disney Keynote Speaker website.

 

 

Culture insidiously erodes when too many leaders aren’t focused, or when priorities are confused, and when employees at every level can’t find the courage to speak up to challenge the status quo.

Every company has a culture that’s either by design or by default. Think of me as a corporate culture architect, with the (ridiculously) simple blueprints for organizational vibrancy.

Culture yields the greatest business results when it’s something every employee wants to defend. The best (Disney) leaders over-focus on the same things others under-focus on or ignore – Vision, Involvement, Accountability, Commitment.

Organization reaped some decent rewards yesterday

Organization reaped some decent rewards yesterday.

  1. Intentionally walked away from a nicely priced, but too low, speaking opportunity.
  2. Contracted a project manager. A person i trust and a highly-esteemed former Disney Colleague.
  3. CEO gave verbal commitment for October engagement.

In all three, i was willing to walk away.
