Making Magic every day for 30+ years (some of it caught on film)

Disney Institute Keynote Speakers
No shortage of photos, most of them from my camera and in recent years, my iPhone.

 

Simplicity is difficult.

Which is why many things seem complicated.

A picture is worth a thousand words.

Right?

When travel throws your schedule off, climb back on.

Yesterday was a non-exercise day, but four days on the road threw “normal routine” out the window.

Really enjoyed the leisurely bike ride to Disney University before the sun got too hot.

Disney’s Continuous Improvement Process

Magic Kingdom entrance
Once upon a time there was a challenge with the Walt Disney World Railroad.

 

The road to excellence has no finish line.

Clicking through the other four blogs at the end of the paragraph below you’ll learn about Magic Kingdom’s “poster-child” story for how the new Guest Satisfaction Measurement process began transforming the way front-line Cast Members had a voice for positive change.

Unrelenting desire to teach

teaching mantra
From a memorial service two days ago.

 

Unrelenting desire to teach.

One of the speakers characterized Brad Ramsey (WPS 2014 Teacher of the Year) as having an unrelenting desire to teach.

In a school, perhaps, this is valued above all other values.

In a Fortune 500, probably never going to make it to the medal podium.

For all of us, the insight: we must find a million ways to persevere when what we are most passionate and skilled at, is not at the top of our company’s list.

Today is one of multiple and progressive deadlines

Disney Business Advisor jeff noel
Idea captured while on a long bicycle ride yesterday.

 

This is due today, May 21, 2016. Note below is captured here for posterity. It’s from an amazing project manager, Disney marketing expert, Executive Chef, former Disney colleague, and personal friend. (My answers are further into today’s posts)

Define the Advisor Program in 2 sentences or less that tell me exactly what the program is, and the top 3 beneficial outcomes I would receive as a customer. (do not include things like “working with an advisor with 30-years experience” as a benefit)

Define who you are in one phrase, like if you were introducing yourself to someone new, either in first person or third person: I’m Jeff Noel, a _______________ (job title), who works with _____________ (type of client) to help them achieve __________________(benefit)

We’ll turn the above info into something like this: Jeff Noel, a 30-year Disney Leadership veteran, is a published author and highly-sought business transformational advisor, helping Fortune-500 companies achieve success through Disney’s tried and true business approach methods.

Jeff took his 30 years as a leader at Disney, and created a better Mouse Trap…

Name the top 5 direct beneficial outcomes (transformations) a company can expect when working with you. Do not list anything that has to do with you or your experience/expertise – list only beneficial outcomes for the company working with you.

On April Fool’s Day 2009, jeff noel began writing five daily, differently-themed blogs (on five different sites). It was to be a 100-day self-imposed “writer’s bootcamp”, in preparation for writing his first book. He hasn’t missed a single day since.
