Finished a Teacher-parent conference at 3:30pm and we walked to the end of the 2nd floor to watch.

 

Space X Tesla payload
It was so cool to witness. The ninth-grader from China was wowed.

 

“That was amazing”.

No, she wasn’t talking about the Space X launch.

The senior executive used that phrase as her first words following my speech.

Disney Keynote Speaker FAQ page

Disney Keynote speakers
Referrals are gold. But, unsolicited inquiries are also pretty cool.

 

You know what’s amazing?

Literally everything.

But, i digress.

Dealing with an influx of speaker requests for Spring 2018.

Doing some preliminary work for a Speakers Bureau and remembered i created this Disney Keynote Speaker FAQ page.

Three objectives with every speech:

  1. Have Fun.
  2. think .differetly
  3. Lean into discomfort.

And at the very end, commit to a personal promise to do something great within 72 hours.
