Our next speaker honed today’s leadership messages from a lifetime at Disney. He brings 30 years of Disney experience, knowledge and secrets from Disney’s Chief of Staff to Disney’s cleaning staff.
To pad his resume as a college graduate, jeff became a Cast Member in 1982, as a Jungle Cruise Skipper in Adventureland. He left Disney later that year – equipped with an 18-speed touring bicycle and $75 cash – to pursue a dream of riding a bike across America.
Returning to Orlando in 1984 from Washington State, jeff, his wife Cheryl, and Disney’s brand new CEO Michael Eisner, were hired the same day. Disney needed someone new at the very top, and someone at the, well, at the very bottom.
He progressed quickly from lifeguard to Resort Operations, where he carved out a 15 year leadership career until the phone rang with an inquiry from Disney Institute. The rest as they say is history.
Since 1999, jeff has spoken to one million+ people globally through Disney Institute.
He retired in 2014 to give speeches to change the world. He was Disney Institute’s highest rated, most requested speaker. And he’s received both of Disney’s Lifetime Achievement Awards.
Jeff believes work is only work if you’d rather be doing something else. Allergic to most pollens and mediocrity, he can’t wait for the alarm clock to go off every morning.
Catalytic Keynotes, Seminars, Consulting, Coaching on:
Leadership Excellence
Employee Culture
Customer Service

The perfect keynote is a catalyst. We all know nothing great happens without an astonishing catalyst. No spark, no fire. No fire, no hope. No hope, no plan.
No plan, no transformation.
Dangerous.
Seminars:
Half-day, full-day, and sometimes multi-day seminars are your best foot forward. Build on the catalytic keynote’s content with a longer, activity-filled, insightful and inspiring session. Walk away with an actionable plan.
Consulting:
What is the value to you to have an admirable, expert thought partner, one with no ulterior motive? And yes, there are a few people like this left in the world.
Coaching:
Executives, see Consulting above. Who can you really trust? It’s a short list. Where are you without a trusted advisor. How far can you go with one?
Value to you:
A time-tested architecture for a world class culture. One that consistently exceeds expectations at every level. A vibrant culture that builds a remarkable, industry leading brand – a category of one – driving revenue, customer satisfaction, employee loyalty, and future growth.

One final thought:
There are three types of companies:
Those that have bottomed out and desperately need to change or they vanish.
Those that do whatever is necessary to stay competitive with the pack.
Those that clearly outdistance the pack, by thinking deeper and acting differently than all the others.
