Leading today with a Happy Birthday to Walt Disney.

Born this day, December 5, in 1901.

Everything The Walt Disney Company does has Walt’s DNA embedded in it.

Between my wife and i, we share 63+ Disney years of breathing this in every day.

It’s who we are.

It’s how we think.

It’s what we do.

It’s not for everyone.

The intentionality, the focus, the discipline – too much for many to bear.

For us, it’s oxygen.

Happy 88th birthday Mickey Mouse

Have fun.

 

Happy 88th birthday Mickey Mouse.

Mickey was Walt Disney’s desperate attempt to rise from the ashes.

Oswald the Lucky Rabbit (and all but one of his animators) was taken from him and he needed to survive.

Walt Disney said keep moving forward

Prolific blogger
5 daily, differently-themed blogs, each one’s color has meaning.

 

Walt Disney said, “We keep moving forward.”

Yesterday morning was an opportunity to speak at Orlando WordCamp.

It was a give-back opportunity.

Why give back?

Because i started using WordPress in October 2008.

And in 16 days, i’ll hit the 14,000 WordPress blog post milestone.

You keep moving forward one step, one day, one blog post, at a time.

Disney’s Continuous Improvement Process

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.

Happy 2nd Disney Retirement Anniversary

Happy 2nd Disney Retirement Anniversary.

October 31, 2014

It’s fun to reflect back on working as a full-time, 30-year Cast Member until 5pm on Halloween 2014.

After 5pm, i became “officially” retired from Walt Disney World.

Pretty scary.

Invisible insight: i intentionally picked Halloween to retire so there’d be the purposeful soundbite, “It was pretty scary to leave Disney after 30 years”.
