One of 4 competencies

Disney Institute class sign
This one was cool because i got to be a student, after 15 years of delivering this signature Disney Institute (DI) topic. Sean redesigned it in 2014 and we (DI) needed an audience to alpha-test it.

It was a great complement at the start of a 15-year Disney Institute (DI) speaking career to hear the DI leader say, Jeff, you are a competent incompetent.

Best way to fail

Mickey Mouse coin
Huge fan and believer in “slow and steady wins the race”.

Innovation gurus promote failing faster. Forge your own path, fail smarter not faster, fail when the stakes are low.

Dangerously good enough

Mickey Mouse note card
What’s possible with thanking people? This note card is the tip of the iceberg in how someone and their business partner where thanked – simply for doing their job.

You don’t even know what’s possible when you follow people who think good enough is good enough.
