Being organized for the future starts when?

Disney Keynote Speaker jeff noel
Disney World has two water bridges. This is the original by Magic Kingdom. The other is at Epcot.

 

Today is the 2015 Annual Walt Disney World Half Marathon. No doubt it will travel under Disney’s northern water bridge (above). A once a year or once-in-a-lifetime event for some.

One aspect of being decently organized is doing things today that won’t pay off until 10, 20,or even 30+ years later.

Like being able to go under Disney’s iconic Magic Kingdom water bridge every day if you want to.

Being world class organized is essential to Disney’s success

Lee Cockerell's new book Time Management Magic
Each of us would literally drop what we are doing to help the other.

 

Lee Cockerell, Executive Vice President (retired and inspired), Walt Disney World Operations, is as good as they get.

In my 30+ years (’82 – ’14) at Disney, he’s the best operational leader i’ve seen.

Period.

His third book, Time Management Magic is available now.

Dear Son, what’s also Magic is how your dad has gone from being an insignificant Cast Member among the 40k Lee led for a decade at Disney, to being on his short list of people he trusts.

And it happened organically, unintentionally.

Never an ulterior motive.

By accident, really.

Who is the world’s premier Disney Keynote Speaker?

Depends on the category.

Strategy? Bob Iger? Probably.

Animation? John Lasseter? Probably.

Walt Disney Imagineering? Bruce Vaughn? Probably.

Best all-around? jeff noel.

Mid Life Celebration’s CMO believes so.

Be amazed and be amazing.

You’re in charge of this.

Your CEO (of You, Inc.) knows this.

Chance favors these people and always has

(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.

It’s a warehouse full of comedy

Last night was the final ‘official’ Disney Cast Member engagement. Every Cast Member celebrating their anniversary (in five year increments… 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, etc) was invited.

No joke (ha, ha, ha).

Live like you mean it.
