29 days to new website url and new brand identity

Countdown…29 days to new website url and new brand identity.

Enlisting the help of three key people:

  1. Dawn, protect leader
  2. Clarissa, graphic designer
  3. Jeff (not me), web developer

Each one excels at a skill set i will never master; skills i could spend a lot of the getting decent at, but i don’t have a lot of time.

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.

Today, April Fools Day 2016 something remarkable happens.

An epic writing challenge begins.

It’s even bigger than the original 2009 self-imposed 100-day writer’s bootcamp – to write five daily, differently-themed posts every single day for 100 days win a row.

Great (Disney) leaders focus on four world class leadership basics:

  1. Vision
  2. Involvement
  3. Accountability
  4. Commitment

Find solace in a noisy world that this is truth.

Do i have to stop because i’m going to start?

The thought of not writing five daily, differently-themed blog posts every morning is feeling pretty scary.

Do i have to stop blogging because i’m going to start writing a Disney Leadership book?

The goal of a Disney Conference Keynote Speaker

2013, my 29th of 30+ incredible years at Disney.

 

The goal of a Disney Conference Keynote Speaker is the same as every other motivational speaker.

Ensure that your client feels like they got more than they paid for.

And perhaps every professional speaker dreams of generating a standing ovation.

The reasons for standing ovations are not selfish or egotistical, or at least they shouldn’t be. The reason a standing “O” is a logical speaker goal is self-evident. People are moved.

i only stand up for a speaker if they’ve moved me in a way that my only natural response when they are done is overwhelming gratitude.

The easiest way to say thanks for a speech like that is to simply stand while you applaud.
