Pursuit Collection joins NYSE January 7, 2025
Last night while on LinkedIn i see this post. Wow! Pursuit Collection joins NYSE January 7, 2025. Pursuit runs hospitality operations in and next to Glacier National Park.

For most of my 30-year Disney career, work was my top priority.

Luckily, i consistently put physical health second.

Leadership at Disney demands your best, your 100% commitment, your sacrifice. It’s not a blatant ask. It’s subtle, subliminal, invisible, and generally unspoken.

So i was decently able to stop, or at least slow, the physical ramifications of the inherent physical neglect on exercise, nutrition, and sleep.

i hope future Disney Leaders (and leaders everywhere) will work in an environment that makes health a priority over work.

Ps. It’s kinda fun to do the impossible. -Walt

Imagine one Disney couple

two retired disney leaders
“Mickey and Minnie”. Felt like it sometimes. We share 66 combined years of Disney Service.

Imagine one couple.

Working a combined 66 years at the same company.

Now imagine if they had lived out the original plan for 80 combined years.

Crazy!

Right?

Now ya know, you’re welcome

My Disney Experience App Cast Compliment screen
Riley, at Disney’s Contemporary Resort Merchandise, was waving to Monorail Guests every time a monorail went by. It wasn’t his job. His job was to work the cash register.

The secret to success, in any domain, is intentionality.

We live a life by default or by design.

At Disney it’s ok to be off-task (your job) if you are on-purpose (making others happy).

Now ya know.

Better late than never.

Goal

You know the answer.

i know you know the answer.

How?

Because everyone who’s in customer service knows this. It’s the first and most important thing you have.

What is the supreme goal of every single customer service interaction?
