Leaving a trail for our Son – Page 4 – Disney Leadership Keynote Speaker

Blogging memories day 5, mind

Disney Leadership Conference speakers — Disney Institute van.

What are some of your earliest blogging memories?

My personal blogging was sporadic the first half-year (October 2008 – March 2009).

i remember my simple catalyst for personal blogging was to gain writing practice to write a book.

The book was a long-forgotten promise from 1979 as a College Junior.

Blogging memories day 4, mind

Disney Institute speakers — Found this on a Google Search for Disney Institute. i am to the right of Mickey’s left ear.

What are some of your earliest blogging memories?

My original 2007 Disney Institute blogging idea failed.

What a gift, in hindsight.

While never having any notion, nor desire, for blogging to become a personal resource, the Disney Institute blogging idea failure transformed my personal life.

Started “personal” blogging Fall 2008.

It was challenging to publish consistently and i wondered if consistency was even important.

Jumping a bit ahead…by April Fools Day 2009 i began a daily tradition that continues to this very day, August 26, 2026 – without ever missing a single day.

Blogging memories day 3, mind

Disney Institute license plate — Imagine everything you learned, did, and taught from 30 years at Disney and Disney Institute and then deconstructing it and then reconstructing it in a simpler, better way.

What are some of your earliest blogging memories?

My original blogging idea started in 2007 because i thought Disney Institute (DI) Facilitators could each have a blog and share Disney Institute essence, content, offerings, etc, as we traveled the globe.

i thought it was crazy enough to be cool, set us apart, and put DI in front of the Professional Development space through ‘free’ marketing (blogging).

Blogging memories day 1, mind

write like you mean it — Nearly everyone could write a book. i recommend starting with a blog.

What are some of your earliest blogging memories?

What the hell is a blog?

My first 2007 manilla folder at Disney Institute was labeled “Web Log”.

That’s how the name blog ‘got its name’.

Mash up web and log, what do you get?

“Blog”.
