Same high-energy, serious-focus, fun, interactive delivery.
What’s different then?
The extra 30 minutes adds even more interactive, engaging, thought-provoking activity, roughly seven additional minutes of experiential learning for each of the four world-class leadership excellence basics.

Applying Disney Business Principles for Personal Vibrancy
Just days away from the mid-point of the 365-day epic Disney writing challenge. The creative, 60-day initiative has put me back on track to write all seven Disney Business Books within one year.
Worth mentioning that yesterday, April 1, 2017, i began the ninth consecutive year of writing five daily, differently-themed blogs.
Insanely impossible has morphed into a daily (lifetime?) routine.

News of Walt’s death in 1966 spread quickly.
And today (the 50th anniversary of Walt’s untimely death) reminded me of something many people don’t realize…
Frequently while facilitating “leadership vision” at Disney Institute, class participants would comment how sad it was that Walt never got to see Walt Disney World.
Early on, i created a simple response to illustrate the power of leadership vision:
Walt saw Walt Disney World clearer than anyone, that’s the only reason it’s here today.
He painted a picture of it that was too compelling to walk away from after his death.
We bought nearly 43 square miles (27,443 acres) for less than $200 an acre.
We bought it cheap, we could sell it cheap.
To transform 43 square miles of alligator, snake, and mosquito-infested swampland into the “Vacation Kingdom of the World” was borderline hallucinogenic.
At 73, Roy O. Disney (Walt’s older brother) came out of retirement and for five years, led the initial development – Magic Kingdom, two Resort Hotels, and a Campground.
Two months after dedicating Magic Kingdom to the World in 1971, Roy passed away.

Casting Center, yesterday December 4, 2016. A Sunday bicycle through “town.”
The Casting Center front doors.
The Casting Center front doors. The one scene from Alice in Wonderland that Walt added – one good turn deserves another.
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.

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.
