First day of Thanksgiving 2015 School Break

Blurry photo
This recent, blurry photo is a good metaphor for this post. Time flies and we look back in a blur.

 

First day of Thanksgiving 2015 School Break. The high school freshman will learn to manage his free time because he has a week of it, yet he has a fair amount of homework.

The small business entrepreneur must also learn to manage time. The temptation to work all day, everyday is strong because what he does never feels like work.

Both the teen and the dad will only get a few of these type of weeks – “no official work required” – abundant time together, lots of options for things to do.

Facebook home

Disney Customer Service Keynote Speaker jeff noel
Does your audience care about what you have to say? Can you tailor it to different groups?

 

Facebook home, aka Facebook personal habits (organization).

Do we really understand how Facebook works?

Do we understand how to manage our settings?

Do we know which people in our connections list want to hear what messages? Do our work friends want to hear about our children, or recipes, our jokes, or the news we feel compelled to share?

Do our lifelong friends want to hear about our work? Do they want to see us marketing our product(s) if we have them?

Do we know how to distribute updates specifically to those people?

Are we discerning when it comes to “Liking” Facebook Pages? Are we intentional or emotional in doing this and do we have so many that we cannot keep up? Are there so many that it fogs our focus on our family and friends?

Do we want to tell the world when we are gone from our home, or when we are home alone? Or would an email, phone call or private FB message be a better choice?

If Facebook went away, do we have a plan B for staying connected? It could happen.

Entrepreneurial fun

Disney Customer Service Keynote Speaker
After running up to the stage from the back, and a room full of selfies, a quiet story.

 

Disney Customer Service Keynote Speaker
The teddy bear is a great visual anchor to a key point.

 

Disney Customer Service Keynote Speaker
If you can’t clearly, concisely, and compellingly explain the goal of great service…your people won’t be able to either.

 

Disney Customer Service Keynote Speaker
Making an unannounced transition to the closing example. Jacket off, sleeves rolled up.

 

Disney Customer Service Keynote Speaker
Transition accomplished – they never saw it coming.

 

Disney Standing Ovation
Standing ovation for the content. The Executive waiting for the applause to stop and people to sit down.

 

Disney Customer Service Keynote Speaker
One last “thank you”. His face says it all.

 

Disney Customer Service Keynote Speaker
Make your word as good as your handshake.

 

Disney Customer Service Keynote Speaker
“i swear on the bible”…

 

Disney Customer Service Keynote Speaker
Sharing Disney stories afterwards.

A fairly “posed” selfie…

 

Disney speaker jeff noel
A selfie as the “camera kept rolling”.

 

Entrepreneurial fun.

Digital organization allows us to be organized on the road

Epcot Guests
Yesterday morning i took a photo of a Guest taking a photo. Nice backpack.

 

They say it’s a small world, and getting smaller.

It just means that access to people and things far away, no longer requires a trek to access those people or things.

Digital organization allows us to be organized on the road. Anywhere. Anytime.

First International business trip, post-Disney. Can’t wait. Wheels up at 9:30am.

We said it and taught it at Disney Institute

Jack the Teddy bear
Last night at ABE (Allentown, Bethlehem, Easton) airport, now called Lehigh Valley International.

 

Organize to maximize was a phrase we said (and taught) at Disney Institute. It’s the only way a photo like the one above was possible last night.

What this means is that i organized my creativity so that i could retire early from a 30-year career i adored.

And i organized my long-term plans in a creative way so that i could avoid regret.

The photo above happened because i was able to travel to Allentown on a moment’s notice, without having to check with “the boss”. i am now the boss.
