Legendary Service Training

Disney speaker Jeff Noel with his book at Orlando Magic Arena — Third to last Disney Institute gig. Retired October 31, 2014.

Mid Life Celebration, the book at Orlando Magic Arena — Center court.

A terrible photograph.

Maybe.

Maybe not.

Like all things in life, depends on your focus.

Taken a week before Disney retirement after 30+ years and one year after book release announcement, this photo timestamps a date and place: October 2014 at Orlando’s Amway Center.

Some fascinating stats:

Envisioned it in college
Took 30 years to write first sentence
Took two years to write
Took two additional years for the guts to publish
Never mentioned Disney, not once, intentionally
Written father to son as life-guide in case i died
Never written to make money

Before We Begin, Are You Satisfied With Your Organizational Vibrancy?

Before we begin, let’s ask, “Are you satisfied with your Organizational Vibrancy?”

And by the way, you have anonymity, right now, with your answer – so relax, be real, and lean into discomfort just enough for your truth to be set free.

So let’s ask again…

Take a deep breath…

Exhale.

Another slow, deep breath as you hear this again…

Are you satisfied?

You.

Your Organizational Vibrancy reputation and your results.

Are you satisfied?

Your answer?

Anyone’s answer?

An educated guess says our answers match.

That’s why you’re reading this book and that’s why this Disney Organizational Vibrancy book needed to be written.

Summary:

Everyone wants to improve.

There are exceptions to every rule, but there aren’t many.

We are not the exceptions.

Opportunity:

Dissatisfaction can and should be used as a tactic (tool) to gain a competitive advantage.

Looking Back, Now Will Have Been A Bargain

The cost for adding business excellence enhancements always seems expensive at the time.

The price you pay for all those years living without the enhancements is literally impossible to recoup.

This so-called price you pay takes the form of lost growth and revenue, unrealized organizational vibrancy, turnover costs, unintentional transfer of intellectual property to your competitors, and the slow and steady erosion of an already unstable foundation.

What would it take for you to see – and act on this reality – that it’s such a bargain to begin transforming now.

Now.

As in there’s no time to wait.

One small step forward.

Right now.

Awareness is the first step to recovery.

Simply admit, right now and unequivocally, your business excellence culture is unhealthy and needs a doctor.

The cost for an architect to draw a new set of blueprints is exponentially less costly now than what it will cost you in the future.

You cannot build from a plan you can’t see on paper.
