Disney Institute bus heading to a super special Walt Disney World location.
Disney Institute van and bus (from where this photo was taken) will make the next left and park behind Main Street USA. Why? To tour upstairs and “downstairs” (the Tunnel).
Great (Disney) leaders focus on four world class leadership basics:
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.

Willis Tower, Chicago, 2009 – the year i began daily blogging.
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 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.

The day Robin Williams died, an email from a 1990’s Disney colleague.
If Disney ran your mental attitude, we’d ask four simple questions:
How well are your employees able to articulate your vision?
How engaged are your employees in carrying out your vision?
How clear are your employees on what they are being held accountable for?
How committed are your employees, day in and day out?
There are many more questions but these are the baseline starting points.

If you don’t walk away .thinking. differently the speaker has failed.
.think .differently Disney style…
If you’re looking for that type of perspective – thinking differently – there’s this (retired and out on his own) Disney keynote speaker most people have never heard of…
His ideal client is an organization that has decided to burn the ships – the CEO has made a formal commitment to move forward differently, and better.
It’s a relationship that is analogous to adults who struggle (like i did as i approached my 40th birthday in 1999) with their health and hire a personal trainer to transform decades of decent, but less-than-optimal habits.
