Are we organized enough to design a meaningful culture?

EPCOT's World Showcase Promenade.
Walt Disney drew the first notion of “EPCOT” on a cocktail napkin. Is this relevant to employees?

 

Are we organized enough to find time:

  • To recognize something as significant
  • To add it in one of three big buckets: past, present, or future
  • To remember milestone dates
  • To evaluate the the value of a milestone
  • To decide which milestones to keep and which to discard
  • To prioritize milestones and their impact on your culture

Yesterday, January 24, 2015 was the second anniversary of a tragic moment for a friend and co-worker. Why significant? In 55 years, it was the first time personally knowing a suicide victim. It was the place, method and motive that made the world stop turning that morning at 8:47am.

Similiar in shock effect to September 11, 2001.

It’s our job as the chief executive

Split level house steps

Our mind, body and spirit are our responsibility.

As challenging as it is to manage this for a lifetime, we really can not expect things to get better or easier by using procrastination or quitting.

Seriously. Can we?

Life’s a bitch full of challenges.

This also is not a secret.

And it’s our job to be the exception.

Chance favors these people and always has

Orlando Leadership Disney Keynote Speakers

 

Orlando Leadership Disney Keynote Speakers

 

(photos: WordPress Word Camps happen across the globe. They will never have a Disney insider speak to them about how to run their business differently.)

Chance favors the prepared person.

When Mid Life Celebration incorporated January 1, 2009, the opportunity to purchase a Disney Institute (DI) keynote speech for a large (or any size actually), important conference seemed like it would always be a meeting or event planner’s option.

No longer.

DI has grown and adapted to the marketplace and the market place is requesting deeper and longer engagements.

This makes the single, one-off Disney keynote speech option obsolete.

In layman’s terms DI has evolved into delivering quality, long term engagements over quantity (60-90 minute one-time keynotes), meaning they have fewer clients – yet they are busier than ever because of the broad and deep level of engagement with those clients.

Never saw this coming.

Am delighted, though, to be in the midst of this moment in time.

Call or email if you are interested in a Disney keynote speech without having to invest hundreds of thousands (at a minimum) of dollars.

The work is never done

Orlando Top Motivational Speakers

 

(photo: The final day of Disney Outlook calendar access is lower right. The final month, upper left.)

One of the biggest tasks before retirement was organizing all the personal files from 30 years of service.

Many of those files now digital.

To help process the reality of this life altering choice, every calendar entry and every contact was deleted.

It’s the same process we go through when we buy a new cell phone – erase all the data off the old device.

But in this case, there’s no iCloud backup.

Thank goodness this day had been six years in the making.

Today is day 33 of retirement. Busy as ever. Who would have thought time would still feel limited?
