Disney Leadership Keynote Speaker
Five daily blogs about life's 5 big choices on five interconnected sites.
First birthday as a retiree. It was better than expected.
Why?
Because i didn’t expect anything.
It’s a funny paradox for how joy finds those who aren’t looking, simply because they are already joy-filled.

Disney has taught me (for over 30 years) to over manage things that others either under manage or ignore.
This builds trust and trust is a differentiator anywhere there’s a crowd. We can see the same thing two days in a row and yet they appear different. But only if we are “present in the moment”.
Otherwise, we can go through our day and never notice the clouds.
Heading to the Nicholson Center in an hour. Have been entrusted to be a catalytic speaker for a long-time client.

Was talking yesterday with the wife of the co-founder of The Draw Shop. They do one thing remarkably well. They do white board animation to explain things to people.
The people they explain things to are people who most likely would love a product or service if they understood it better. And in the current state, they just don’t “get it”.
Through The Draw Shop’s unique, animated storytelling, the audience finally “gets it”.
i reminded Anitra that when Eric and i met in Denver a few weeks ago, i proposed a crazy idea. If the first video blows me away, i’ll pay them double. If it doesn’t i pay nothing, yet keep the video.
Eric Kerr said he’d think about it.

Attitude is not just about being positive. It’s also about determination. And patience.
Even the self-discipline of humility.
It also encompasses belief.
Our ability to commit to a belief system. Deeply. Unswayed, even at the threat of death.
Yeah, it’s that powerful.
Disney banks it’s entire future on it’s culture.
If Disney ran your life, they’d insist you do the same.

The mental battle of mind over matter…
The marketing battle that takes place in our head between confidence and arrogance is brutal. It never ends.
On one hand, confidence is essential for great things to happen.
On the other hand, arrogance is like drinking poison.
The catch 22 is that the two can look like twins, even though they’re not.
And here’s what i’m learning as an entrepreneur: You have to constantly move forward. Success will not come to you. You have to (repeat, have to) go and get it.
Successful, optimistic people easily recognize confidence.
Unsuccessful, jealous people see arrogance, because it justifies their lack of courage.
i pray for both groups.
It is difficult to leave people behind.
Be confident in knowing that you are not hurting the ones left behind. They have already committed themselves to that position. It’s not your fault.
And it is also not arrogant.
