Lofty

Disney speaker Jeff Noel
Jack the bear is a signature story. It’s about knowing your purpose versus your job’s tasks. It’s also about the power of going the extra inch.

Live your life so that if anyone ever says anything bad about you, no one will believe it.

Two things a man cannot hide: that he is drunk, and that he is in love.

Was it a test?

simple contract
Less than 12 hours ago.

 

Being organized helps you make better decisions.

Yesterday i was asked to sign a last-minute contract.

The contract was very short and only contained language intended to get something i never do – i do not to allow anyone to own a copy of my keynote speech.

My agent is crystal clear about this and is the one working directly with the end client.

It begs the question, “Was it a test?”

Busy people in urgent and tense situations often agree to something they wouldn’t agree to when there’s no pressure.

Why?

To make the tension go away.

i added to the tension exponentially when i told my agent, “i hope not being able to record my speech isn’t a deal breaker.”

If it is a deal breaker, my agent and i lose a nice paycheck and miss the opportunity to provide a deserving audience with transformational Disney business insights.

Practice what you preach or be quiet

Disney Executive Speaker jeff noel
On the way to a meeting.

 

Thirty years at Disney makes it easy to share this with you, with conviction…

Today is not a good day to put your dreams on hold.

Practice what you preach or be quiet.

We are tired of hearing what you’re going to do.

Go do it, and share it after you’ve done it.

That will inspire us.

(dialogue below: note from a retirement party attendee)

Jeff,

So great to see you and your beautiful family!! You inspired me the day we met (1999) and you inspired me again at your retirement party. You truly are unlike anyone else – and I mean that in the best way. Attitude and the Power of Positivity is always present with you and an ongoing challenge for me and many others. Being in your presence always brightens my day. Thank you for sharing your many gifts, talents and treasures. I’m a better person because I have been so fortunate to work with you and be friends with you!

I love ya man!! Oh Captain my Captain!!

Best wishes on your continued journey.
