2016 Disney Talent Management Article

Disney Fairy Tale Weddings — The “Magic” is our ability to keep the reality of the hard work invisible.

It’s not the Magic that makes it work, it’s the work that makes it Magic.

A recent Disney Talent Management article from July (no longer available on this site) illustrates many things which aren’t specifically called out, including:

Everything takes longer than hoped
Collaboration is key
Creativity is key
Vision is key
Transformation is key

Lots of keys to the Kingdom.

Focus and discipline.

Let me try to hammer home the point.

It’s as absurd as when non-athletic people say this when talking about athletic people, “They don’t need to worry about dieting.”

Having run consistently for the past 17 years, since turning 40, i can tell you that there isn’t a single day that i don’t:

Weigh myself
Consciously evaluate every food choice i make on a daily basis
Feel frustrated at how easily i gain weight
Secretly wish i didn’t have to work so hard just to maintain my weight

You had no idea right?

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.

The one thing a Disney Storyboard won’t do for you

hand drawn cottage blueprint — Hand drawn “mother-in-law” blueprint from the 1990’s. Blueprints make building infinitely easier.

The two things a Disney Storyboard will do for you and the one thing it won’t do:

Helps you identify exactly what you want to write about
Helps you determine exactly where it belongs in your storyline

• • • • •

But it doesn’t tell you what words to write

Storyboarding doesn’t make writing a book easy, it makes it easier. This is an important distinction. One that’s easy, and deadly, to dismiss.

Teaching Disney storyboarding to future leaders

Teaching a teen about Disney storyboarding this week. Reiterating simple insights from previous lessons.

In a few days he starts a class on Entrepreneurism at his High School. It is being led by Bob Allen at IDEAS. Bob Allen has a rich Disney pedigree.

Disney storyboarding is an exceptional tool to brainstorm and map out the story for anything; a movie, a new Disneyland Attraction, a vacation, a Marketing campaign, a restaurant concept, and of course, a book.

To keep today’s five posts short, this story continues on my four other daily posts. The navigation link is always just below every post on every site. (that’s a hint to scroll down a tiny bit further, and go)

Does everyone know what the goal is?

jeff noel Disney Keynote Speaker — Does everyone where you work know unhesitatingly what the goal is?

Does everyone where you work know what the goal is?

And by everyone, i don’t mean most, i mean everyone.

And, can they tell it to someone else easily and simply?

Everyone?
