Disney CEO and me

Disney CEO Michael Eisner and Frank Wells, COO
September 1984. Cheryl and i started the same time these two joined Disney. Disney needed someone at the very top, and someone at the very bottom.

Jeff’s rap song

Written while having fun thinking about how to tell prospective clients that i’m not an entertainer, but i have been told i’m entertaining.

Rev: 11.14.21

i’m not an entertainer, but i am entertaining 

i’m not a king, but i am in a kingdom

It’s not the magic that makes it work, it’s the work that makes it magic

(that’s as far as i’ve ever gotten…likely to never be finished)

Remembering January 25, 1982

1988 Disney Traditions Facilitator team. Jungle Jeff far left, standing row. Disney University behind us. There’s a story about this opportunity that was interrupted by a promotion from hourly Disney Cast Member to salaried Disney Leader.

Remembering January 25, 1982.

The original intent was simply to ‘pad’ my resume with a name that would counter balance the limited and unremarkable work experience on my resume. Disney seemed like a perfect name to add.

Who knew it would transform our – Cheryl and me – lives?

No one.

They say the acorn doesn’t fall far from the tree, whatever that means.

A little riff about being in a few places at the same time.

Hey jeff, why not try Open Sourcing your talent needs?

Hey, i like that idea. Thanks.

What does this mean?

It means social media is an amazing tool and people i’ve never met could potentially be just what i need.
