Leaving a trail for our son – Page 51 – Disney Creativity and Innovation Keynote Speaker

2024’s final week, home

Bob Iger and Jeff Noel from 2005 at Disney Resort — Bob met with Disney’s Board of Directors at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort. i met with several dozen global business leaders to teach them Disney’s Business behind the Magic, also at ‘The Grand’.

Marty Sklar and Jeff Noel at Disney Resort — Marty Sklar needed a Disney Institute (DI) handler for his Walt Disney World Keynote. DI leadership picked me. In a story for another time, i didn’t feel i had time in my Disney schedule to do it for two days.

The Disney leaders i learned from are broad and often times deep.

This is an exceptional opportunity only a large, world-class company affords.

Grateful.

Merry Christmas, dude.

Happy winter 2024, home

Winter happens every year. It’s never a surprise. We always know it’s coming. The closer you are to the Equator, the more blurred the seasonal lines become. Let’s think about how we traditionally spend our winters…

Ever think of yourself as the CEO of You, Inc?

If yes, why?

If no, why?

Let’s assume a few things:

Only one person is in charge of your life
Who do most people think is in charge of their life
Who do you think is in charge of your life
Everything in your life is your fault
Everything in your life is your success

We become what we think about.

Intentionally or unintentionally.

Can you imagine the difference between the two approaches?
