Focus – Page 6 – Disney Leadership Keynote Speaker

The most important lesson i learned from 30 years at Disney

Disney Keynote Speakers — Castle turrets always ignite creative thinking in my world.

The most important lesson i learned – and use in daily life – from 30 years at Disney…

Over-focus on the same things you used to under-focus on or ignore.

Learn to be intentional where you used to be unintentional.

At the speed of distraction

Disney service awards — Just before Disney’s Cast Service Awards event began in 2014. The work that goes on behind the scenes to make things seem Magical is mind-boggling. Commitment to excellence is what makes it all work.

Here we go.

Another brand new day.

So much to do today.

A couple of unfinished things from yesterday also carry over to today’s list.

Plus, we have some stuff for tomorrow we need to prep for.

And so it goes.

This may never change.

For my entire life.

Same for you, no?

Figure it out.

Or regret not figuring it out.

We are under attack

art of the mind poster — Do we consider our mind’s attitude as art? Should we?

Now, more than ever, each of us is challenged to dig deep.

Social media, the news, our personal conversations, all these attack our attitude.

What are you doing to protect it?

And i mean every day, all day.

Living like you mean it

Women's Olympic 400 Meter hurdles final — Women’s Olympic 400 Meter hurdles final – no American has ever won this event before.

Living like you mean it. Yeah, sure looks good on paper.

Woke up at 4:00am (75 minutes ago) feeling groggy. Tempted to hit snooze. i’m literally never tempted to hit snooze. Back in the day (Disney Resort Operations), i used to do it every morning – for 15 years.

Moving to Disney Institute in 1999, i no longer worked crazy shifts and started having regular sleep cycles. The snooze button became irrelevant because i focused on a regular bed time and an eight-hour a night sleep target.

Staying up until 10pm-ish to watch Olympic Track & Field finals and getting up to be at High School Cross Country practice by 5:50am has led to a short-term sleep disruption.

And i am reminded that my incentive for doing this is i am watching these Olympics as my last Olympics.

i may live long enough to watch the 2020 Olympics, but i am not planning on it.

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 new website will revolve around the audience

Have you ever launched something big, yet secretly worried if you covered all the bases?

This new website’s voice will be completely different than these five daily personal blogs.

How exciting is it to move forward doing something completely different?
