TED Talk ideas

Roy Disney stature at Magic Kingdom and TEDx speaker id
Returning from Kuwait, this is one of the first visits, with the speaker ID as a prop.

Have several TED Talk ideas.

  1. Why thinking outside the box is a flawed concept: and what to do instead.
  2. Vibrancy: Five “Who is the most _____ person you know?” Answers that never match but are all the same.
  3. Why Balance is a pervasive and perverse myth.

Original 2019 TEDx Talk at American University of Kuwait…

What’s your plan for overwhelm?

Heceta, Oregon lighthouse.
Context. Last night.

What’s your plan for overwhelm?

Slow and steady, chipping away small victories that seem insignificant?

Perfect?

Overwhelm’s main cause is trying to do more than you are currently capable of doing.

This is the secret approach, small, seemingly insignificant modifications to your life.

If Disney Ran Your Life podcast 2020 encompasses seven seasons and approximately 70 episodes.

Disney Customer Service Mindset

Relentless pursuit.

Disney Customer Service Mindset.

Customer service is simple – be nice enough to exceed the normal expectation.

You can be nicer if you have the ability (time, resources, energy, money, or set a new standard), but being nice enough to exceed the normal expectation is all that’s required.

Exceeding doesn’t discriminate, meaning any amount of effort that exceeds is enough to exceed, even if it’s an insignificant amount of effort.

Obviously the extra mile is a sure bet for exceeding customer expectations, but going the extra mile is not even remotely sustainable.

Going the extra inch – a seemingly insignificant effort – will not only exceed expectations, it is insanely easy to do.

As simple as making eye contact and smiling.

As simple as saying please and thank you.

As simple as introducing yourself, first.

As simple as initiating a warm salutation.

As simple as being assertively friendly – meaning if you see a customer who you can tell has a question, rather than wait for the question, ask the question, “May i help you find something?”

You were going to answer the question anyway, why not initiate it.

Why would you wait?

Ever.
