Back at Walt Disney World

Hurricane Hermine — 4:23AM – Destined to become a hurricane?

Back from Glacier after a five-hour delay and flew through Hurricane Hermine. The flight was incredibly smooth considering. Caught a second wind and unpacked before bed.

Late night arrival and running on half the normal sleep (only 4 hours), i find myself in a haze of slow moving and even slower thinking.

i don’t like it, but know it sometimes happens.

Reminded why i avoid it all costs.

For 15 years in Disney Resort Operations, it happened every week. The next 15 years at Disney Institute it happened much less often – maybe four (versus 50) times a year.

There’s the Disney pixie dust people outside the organization focus on, and then there’s the reality only a Cast Member can know.

Marketing Speak

A decade or so ago. Much has transformed since then.

Marketing speak…

What could be better than seeing Disney from the outside?

Hmmm.

How about seeing Disney from the inside?

And not only seeing Disney from the inside, but seeing Disney from a molecular level?

Who would the scientist be?

What would they discover and share?

Can you imagine someone spending a lifetime deconstructing Disney’s DNA and putting it back together in a brilliantly simplistic architecture that any organization in any industry sector, and any employee at any level, can begin using immediately – to change things…to make things better than they were yesterday…and not only make them better for tomorrow, but make them much better.

PS. Heading to a week-long Writer’s Retreat in an hour.

If your goal isn’t impossible

perseverance — You are a runner and writer but not in that order. Cross Country race Saturday, read your book (what you’ve written so far) yesterday.

If your goal isn’t impossible, you’re not reaching high enough.

Reading the first 30% of your book yesterday blew me away.

Disney Leadership Excellence summary

Disney Leadership Excellence summary:

Leadership Excellence:

What if all your employees couldn’t wait to get to work everyday? What if they thrived on doing more than you pay them to do? What if they exuded remarkable energy and enthusiasm for wowing the people you serve? What if your organization was famous, legendary even, for consistently delivering exceptional service and shareholder value.

This is the million-dollar opportunity that seems impossible today or tomorrow, right? But what about in your future? Jeff tackles this challenge, and many more…

Program Overview:

Vision | Involvement | Accountability | Commitment

“It’s kind of fun to do the impossible.” – Walt Disney

Every so often someone comes along with a game-changing idea. Jeff Noel is one of those people.

You’re busy. Really busy. Borderline overwhelmed. This is the world leaders live in today. The harsh reality is that it’s all we can do to manage today’s workload. And when we think about how to move our organization forward, it does feel overwhelming.

What if there was a blueprint for a simple, profound, leadership architecture that could transform the way you think and engage as a leadership organization?

Impossible?

What if you could receive your greatest corporate gift ever? Something no one’s ever offered your company. Something so compelling and so fundamental it’s been overlooked because of it’s simplicity. World-class organizational leadership architecture that’s been deconstructed to the DNA level – and offered in a tangible blueprint.

Still sound impossible?

You’ve dedicated your life to being a great leader and moving your organization forward the past decade. You do amazing things yet you wonder what’s missing to improve your company, and dramatically elevate the success of your entire organization.

Google “Leadership” and you’ll see at least 798,000,000 results.

If you want to understand the DNA and benchmark with the business wisdom from the world’s fifth most admired company, Disney, it’s as simple as having the first conversation.

Playing it safe is risky

Roger Broggie Disney train — Most risks are out of necessity – we often forget this business reality – competition is fierce.

Taking risks is risky, so is playing it safe.

Here’s the analogy…

A person wants to significantly improve their health.

They visit several local gyms and personal trainer choices and make a decision on which will help them loose weight the fastest.

Their flawed goal is weight loss.

Wait, what?

Exactly.

Decades ago, i thought weight loss was the goal.

Now i’m convinced it’s not.

Permanent weight loss (like all wellness topics) is the result of deeper issues, the first of which is time management and prioritization. The absence of these left me lacking self-confidence and relying on excuses to feel better about my chronic personal neglect.

Until those issues are addressed and overcome, the weight will come back soon enough because the root causes, the foundational thinking and doing, were never modified to support a lifetime of healthy living.

You see, the path to weight loss isn’t in focusing on it.

The path to weight loss is simple:

Cardio-based regular exercise
Balanced nutrition
Adequate rest
Clear, concise, compelling wellness goal

Once this baseline is in place, add:

Strength training (anaerobic-based)
Flexibility
Core

Seven fundamentals.

That will bring about and sustain a healthy body weight.

A healthy body weight facilitates dramatically improved health metrics like BMI, blood pressure, resting heart rate, cholesterol, triglycerides, range of motion, increased strength – all of which dramatically impact our mental, spiritual, work and home life.
