Disney Keynote Speaker Jeff Noel
Circa 2013, University of Iowa Healthcare (UIHC) client. They loved the “Teddy Bear Story”, and insisted i shared it with every audience. “Jack the Bear” impacted thousands of UIHC employees.

Become a personal vibrancy expert.

Should a person become a personal vibrancy expert?

Or…

Why should a person not become a personal vibrancy expert?

Lifetime discipline is hard.

Lifetime regret is hard.

Seems like answers are obvious when you do the math.

Disney ego

Beautiful in the photo. Transformational for the day.

What is Disney ego?

For starters, never heard of it. It’s a phrase, just now made up. The phrase’s inspiration came from the Disney notion that good and very good aren’t good enough.

It was weird writing it, yet knowing it’s the truth makes you wonder what outsiders might think.

Think of it this way, can you imagine Walt Disney saying, “Um, that’s good enough. No need to sweat the details.”

Every time you make an exception and lower your standard

Ben Towers
i sat in Ben’s seat while he spoke. As a professional speaker, he nailed it. As a 20-year old, he’s definitely in the prodigy realm.

 

What we accept by default becomes the standard.

Every time you make an exception and lower your standard you are chipping away at your new, lower standard.

Taking a stand is what sets a standard.

Not taking a stand also sets a standard.

One standard builds strength.

The other standard doesn’t.

PS. The good news is the same thing happens in reverse too.

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.
