Disney Creativity and Innovation Keynote Speaker
One million+ people globally while at Disney Institute.
Classic question for all ages, what is normal?
Normal is whatever the hell you want it to be.
Note: Normal should feed vibrancy. Hard stop. Who the heck wants anything less than vibrancy?

It is a small world at Disney. Almost every leader starts out on the front line in an hourly role.
Jungle Jeff at Disney’s World-Famous Jungle Cruise attraction in Adventureland, in 1982.
Cheryl as a Merchandise Hostess in the Christmas Shoppe and the Garden Shop at The Disney Village Marketplace, in 1984.
George as a busser (clearing plates, etc from restaurant tables) at Disney’s Contemporary Resort Hotel, in 1971.
Disney is a leadership machine. So many talented leaders.
One leaves, one easily is replaced. Maybe not initially, but in due time, you become a memory.
This is a bitter pill at first, until you realize it’s a cultural phenomena.
You take solace on who you served, how you served, and why you served.
This is the way.

Life fascinates me because so much of what we can do isn’t dependent on any tradition or current standard.

Will you make it one page?
What?
Your Will.
Can you reduce it from the current nine pages to one?
It would go against the grain, so it sounds perfect.
Like working from home, all of a sudden, everyone thinks it’s the way the world should go.
Once again, out ahead with a one-page Will.
Be amazed and be amazing.

Why companies fail to innovate: tradition. It generates friction.
Bob Iger (excerpt)
Bob’s quote is in response to his big gamble with Disney +
i consistently and continuously gamble. For example…
Going paperless.
Abandoning the computer mouse.
Wearing merino wool clothing – clothing worn for weeks before needing a wash.
Giving up keynote speech slides.
Using a speaker agent – agents add 25% to your fees.
Retiring from Disney to start my business.
Traveling without a laptop – only using a computer that fits in a pocket (iPhone).
An endless list of doing uncomfortable and or risky things.
Tradition is both timely and timeless.
There are things that should change (timely) and things that shouldn’t change (timeless).
The tactics (above) were changed.
The strategy (my unspoken value) to continuously improve will never change.
The random list of changes listed here are all endeavoring to allow me to become more organized – managing time and effort to simplify and excel at my priorities.
