#Intentionality

The biggest “behind-the-scenes” take-away from my 30 years at Disney is this:

Our success comes from over-focusing on the same things others under-focus on or ignore.

Over-focus on your personal organization at home.

On April Fool’s Day 2009, jeff noel began writing five daily, differently-themed blogs (on five different sites). It was to be a 100-day self-imposed “writer’s bootcamp”, in preparation for writing his first book. He hasn’t missed a single day since.

Disney intentionality and what it looks like in daily personal life

Teaching today's youth
i began transforming myself 12 years ago when he was Pre-K (2004).

 

i know very few people who:

1. drive the speed limit
2. leave early enough to not have to rush to make it somewhere on time
3. never tailgate
4. have no need to speed up when the light turns yellow

None of those described me until i became a parent (2000) and started thinking about teaching safe driving habits when our child was four (2004). You know, get in a good dozen years or so before they get their learner’s permit.

Disney’s secret to competitive immunity is being way more intentional with the same things others don’t pay much attention to or ignore completely.

What is the last thing a speaker wants to do?

After dinner but before leaving Rosen Shingle Creek to drive home.

 

After a long day, what is the last thing a speaker wants to do?

Or…

At the start of a new day, what’s the first thing a speaker wants to do?

See the room where she’ll be speaking.

Why?

Because it’s what an athlete would do in preparation for a game. Inspect the playing field.

OCD is the path to world-class

Top Disney Institute Speakers
Prevailing Wisdom Thesis.

 

Everything i did for two solid days in the classroom was intentional.

Why?

Because it delivers remarkably better results for the people you serve.

Lead like you mean it.

Serve like you mean it.

Live like you mean it.

How can we not?

There was no time to be bored today

Retired Disney Leadership Keynote Speaker
Moments before being called up to the front of the room.

 

Former Disney Institute Keynote Speaker
Tinker Bell is the the 25-year Disney Service Award. This was September 2009.

 

Former Disney Leadership Keynote Speaker
Walt Disney said, “Laughter is no enemy to learning.” i’d like to add, “It’s no enemy to anything.”

 

There was no time to be bored today.

Engagement, which is heavily influenced by activity and state changes, was intentionally baked into today’s 8:30am -5:00pm classroom block.

Adult learners bore easily.

It should only happen on rare exceptions, and never when you’re in charge.
