The Backstage prep before the Guests arrive

Disney Institute Keynote Speakers
Behind the scenes, or as we say at Disney, Backstage – a glimpse into the prep before the Guests arrive.

The Backstage prep before the Guests arrive is hard work, focused work, determined work.

It is also fun work when you work with a committed team.

Now think about the hard work, the focused work, the determined work you do to stay positive no matter what.

Can it also be fun?

As CEO of You, Inc, what do you think the only correct answer is?

Do you let truth scare or inspire?

Do you let truth scare or inspire?

For example…

To learn from experience you must have different experiences.

But doing things we’ve never done before can be scary.

And…

Doing things we’ve never done before can be exciting.

Moving forward and growing often come with detours and growing pains.

These are gifts to diversify your experiences, which in turn grow your confidence.

How many have been written or recorded?

Stumbled on some old photos Disney Institute yesterday.

How many have been written or recorded?

How many books and articles have been written and how many videos and podcasts have been recorded about having a positive attitude?

What are they all trying to say?

They can’t all be saying something different.

So how have you sifted through it all to create your personal leadership template?

How is Podcasting affecting you?

Disney podcaster jeff noel
Recorded “If Disney Ran Your Life” from our side porch yesterday.

If writing is great for self -reflection, what will podcasting do for self-reflection?

For starters, the auditory consumption of a person’s thinking is different from, and compliments, visual consumption.

The difference is not only in the medium, but also in the ability to consume. You can listen while driving, walking, doing routine chores – the freedom from having to focus on a screen opens up interesting possibilities.

And then there’s the enhanced perception of voice tone, inflection, laughter, dialouge with another human (Podcast host). 

Speaking and recording live on a podcast also eliminates the thoughtful and careful editing that writing inherently provides. 

Exciting growth that is new, challenging, motivating, and fresh.
