Disney Executive management Speakers
Crowded lends itself to distracting.

 

Below is a short text from the Mid Life Celebration website sidebar, a “personal story” widget added to the sidebar. Took it down this morning to minimize distractions on the Blog page:

Balance is not a myth.

Work is only work if you’d rather be doing something else.

jeff began writing on April Fools Day 2009 to leave a trail for his young son in case something bad ever happened.

Everyday since (2k+ days) he’s written five differently themed posts about balance:

Mind • Body • Spirit • Work • Home

Bob Iger’s vision for The Walt Disney Company is organized around three precepts:

  1. Creativity
  2. Technology
  3. Globalization

And using those three, to become the most admired company in the world.

Maybe it’s impossible. Apple just earned their eighth consecutive Most Admired Company distinction.

Just getting started.

 

Disney Leadership Keynote Speaker
Gave Barb a copy yesterday even though she didn’t ask.

 

During yesterday’s speech there was a moment where recognition was highlighted. And in the moment, raced to the back corner of the stage and grabbed from the small backpack the world’s best leadership book, Creating Magic: Ten Common Sense Leadership Strategies From A Life At Disney, by Lee Cockerell.

Told the Fortune 150 audience that the only reason i was standing in front of them now was because of Lee Cockerell.

Not a hard sell. Rather a seed planted for them on their executive leadership journey. And a small attempt to repay Lee for my biggest post Disney career break.

Insight: Was organized enough to have the book handy should an opportunity present itself.

Great rallying cry.

 

Saw spectacular opening and closing sessions, and four really good speakers. It feels good to be back in the saddle again.
