Disney Creativity and Innovation Keynote Speaker
One million+ people globally while at Disney Institute.
A teacher until i die, and…
In a perfect an excellent world, a teacher after i die too.
Tim Pollard made a name for himself (at Disney) by helping Disney executives with poor to good speaking ability to raise their game a level or two. For a short, planned, strategic speech, one that you would read word-for-word, brilliant.
For live, spontaneous, enthusiastic, organic audience interaction lasting one hour to five days, it’s a guide, not a Bible.
While continuing to purge a lifetime of Disney and home paperwork and “stuff” (like the orange coffee mug), these photos are stored in Apple’s Notes app and the physical cards and cup are gone.
Tim and i started out great and over time, his non-Disney character revealed itself and rubbed me in a non-Disney way.
The Disney Way is a thing – a cultural thing – like friendly, enthusiastic, helpful and courteous Cast Members are The Disney Way.
Any behavior that’s off even a little bit is easily noticeable, questionable, and without change, unacceptable.
Great speaking concepts are context neutrally great. Grateful to Tim for sharing his speaking wisdom. He definitely assisted Disney Institute (DI) at a time when standardized delivery became the new vision. Without Tim’s help, DI would never have done what we did. Incidentally, the bulk of this delivery change occurred after i retired in 2014.

Pick, choose, improve.
As a Disney leader, close to the front line at all times, i worked amongst Walt Disney World’s best students and teachers from 1982-2014.
As a student-teacher – student always, teacher first – you continuously hone your leadership messages.
Always a student. You are.
Always a teacher. You are.
Your leadership messages are the cumulative foundation of the most important basics, values, strategies, tactics, and principles.

The closer you get, the better it looks.
What?
Disney’s attention to detail.
Let it be the same with you.

There is something about being willing to fail that is profoundly motivating, at least to me. If you want to teach a child, you must actually do the things you preach – and do them well. The lofty theory you lecture them with is only theory (again, at least to me).
Theory without habitual action is worthless.
A picture of a tool is not a tool.
Theory is only theory.
Until it is not.
Here’s a theory…
To die with five friends is to die rich?
But isn’t more, better?
(no)
Much of what we are fed to believe is based on the herd mentality. Strength in numbers. There’s a time and place for that.
To each his/her own.
Then why do i have so many friends on Facebook?
(Have been struggling with social media. Occasional posts, like this one, are part of my journey.)
