Rethink – Page 45 – Disney Leadership Keynote Speaker

Wish you were here, so we could talk

Disney World — we would have walked the streets of my hometown, at all hours of the day or night

Dear Dad, we both did the best we could with what we knew at the time.

living with regret — my Dad, Jack Noel, always loved Disney World (my adulthood hometown)

What if?

I’ll never know.

Most likely neither will you.

My Dad passed away long before these questions surfaced.

Long before the desire, and courage, and determination – to question everything…

Why wouldn’t it be? That’s how I, and countless others, accomplished it as young adults.

And then I asked, why?

A facilitator’s job is to help others ReThink, UnThink, DeThink. This privilege is bestowed to those who are not afraid to speak in public. Yet there’s a significant difference between good and very good teachers, and the excellent ones.
