Planning – Page 2 – Disney Creativity and Innovation Keynote Speaker

How many adults rode their bike to the gig?

School Spring Festival — Roughly 20 booths total.

The School’s Spring Festival last night was much better than expected. Rode a bicycle due to anticipated parking challenges. Scoped out the business vendors area to see if it feels worth it for next year.

It did.

Pondered these:

What makes a business booth stand out?
How do you not make people walking by feel nervous about getting spammed with an unwanted “pitch”?
What is the driving purpose and desired outcome from a booth?
Is the outcome a pipe dream or tangibly within reach?

The clock is ticking. Always.

A year from now will seem like yesterday.

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.

Suddenly, there’s a massive threat and everyone runs

Disney Leadership expert speakers — The Disney Half-Marathon staff over-focuses on excellence, even at the water stations.

Big snow storm predicted for mid-Atlantic states today. Every winter this is a possibility. Quiz time…how prepared are you?

Same thing happens here in Orlando every late Summer, early Fall – hurricane season.

Suddenly, there’s a massive threat and everyone runs to the stores to stock up.

What if stocking up was a pre-season to-do habit?

Plan on being prepared for what is always a possibility

Senior Living apartment window view — My Allentown office view for five days. The sun came out on day nine.

Senior Living apartment interior view — My Allentown office view for five days.

Unpacking from being gone for nine days has my office looking disorganized by my standards, yet decently organized by many others.

The secret sauce really is simply over-focusing on the same things others under-focus on or ignore. This is Disney’s secret sauce, and it’s been mine as well for the past eight years.

Although it’s a Saturday, i will work today to clear things and get back to “normal” asap. The unexpected is always right around the corner. Plan to be prepared for it.

The time to do it is when you don’t need to

ATT Text message screen shot — Heading to Montreal tomorrow morning.

Flying to Montreal tomorrow morning to delver a Customer Service Keynote speech that features what i’ve learned from a lifetime at Disney.

Double checked with ATT yesterday about my mobile communication options. They sent me the text above in case i needed help in Canada. The call is free.

But once in Canada, calls become very expensive.

The time to plan for worst case scenario is when you don’t need to.

Of course, there’s free email, text, Facetime, and Skype if you can get a decent wifi signal.

Have we been organized enough in 2015?

Roadside vegetation — Walking to hotel after last week’s interview. Lower left a hidden patch of yellow.

Roadside wildflowers — Close up, they cannot hide.

Have we been organized enough in 2015?

As i write this on a Sunday morning, September 20, i’m reflecting on the day this will go live – just three days before we begin 2016.

And 100 days before the traditional opportunity to make a New Year’s resolution, the ability to reflect without pressure is fun, exciting, and wonderful.
