The challenge with permitting your existing culture today is that it makes you more likely to permit it tomorrow.
The challenge with not taking action today is that it makes you less likely to take action tomorrow.
The challenge with not doing what you can do today, is that it also makes you less likely to not do what you can tomorrow.

Any leader and any organization, in any industry, can architect world-class leadership excellence using systems and processes they control. World-class leadership excellence is not reserved for special organizations that have secrets others don’t and never will have. Exceptional leadership is built with four fundamental blueprints. Jeff’s Disney Keynote will be interactive, fun, thought-provoking, and comes with a personal challenge for every participant.
First, a vision statement and a vision are not the same. You’ll learn the fundamental difference and why every leader has the daily imperative to articulate a clear, concise, and compelling Vision for the future. This is the first rule of great leadership.
Most organizations consider training and development as a single entity. Jeff reveals the distinct and powerful difference and makes a compelling case for separating the two – one yields compliance, the other yields commitment. There are four simple tactics for increasing Involvement.
Leaders, clarity is power. The clearer the expectations, the better the results. There are two universal sets of Accountability metrics. The key is a balanced and agreed upon set of expectations.
Every leader experiences the honeymoon effect from Commitment and eventually, the real world settles in and the ultimate (and relentless) leadership challenge is how to find a million ways to inspire, excite, and motivate a team that will face setbacks, obstacles, and unwelcomed change.
Expect to be wowed. Expect to have fun. Expect to be enlightened. Expect to be put to task. You deserve it. C-ya real soon.
BIO:
Jeff Noel is a 30-year Walt Disney World Leadership veteran, two-time Disney Lifetime Achievement Award recipient, a published author, and highly-sought business advisor, helping Fortune 500 companies worldwide achieve greater success through a series of programs focusing on Jeff’s unique approach and architecture for World-Class Organizational Vibrancy. He has spent his life deconstructing and then reconstructed Disney’s DNA into clear, concise, and compelling business insights. Jeff not only helps you see remarkable opportunity, but he also engages you in wonderfully participatory ways so you actually “feel” his context-neutral insights – it’s the “feeling” of these insights (and the simple architecture) that will motivate, excite, and inspire you to create a future that’s not only better than now, but much better.

There are four world-class basics that make up the Disney Leadership architecture.
i have been teaching our Son (now 18) these Disney blueprints for at least a dozen years.
We are both more positive human beings because of this student-teacher-student relationship.
Everything i learned, did, and taught from 32 years as an insider and two-time Walt Disney Lifetime Achievement recipient has been synthesized into brilliantly simplistic DNA.
No one i know has deconstructed Disney’s operational DNA and reconstructed it in such a useful way.
It brings great joy and personal satisfaction to offer such a unique professional development opportunity to the world.
Another option are Disney Institute Keynote Speakers who are my friends and former colleagues and they share corporately-approved speeches, and i highly recommend them to help organizations in need.
We enjoy bringing The Disney Way to willing audiences.

But there is one more thing.
Show, don’t tell.
Use story to “show” what you are telling.
Facts and theories stick better when revealed through story.
i can tell you our son is a risk taker, or i can share with you, one more thing…
Writing this morning from Towson, Maryland in a Sheraton Hotel room adjacent to Goucher College. The reality of “nothing is guaranteed” was hyper-real yesterday as we attended the admissions info session and walked through campus on the student-led tour, for the fourth time in two years.
High School seniors across the United States are well-advised to apply to four to six colleges. At the very least, if you are deadset on one college, have a suitable second-choice as a backup.
Makes perfect sense.
Except…
Chapin has no backup.
He is applying for only one school, Goucher.
As parents, we are not insisting, as we probably should, that he have a backup plan, “just in case”.
A common inspirational saying for being fully committed is “burn the ships“, attributed to the 16th-century Spanish explorer, Hernan Cortes.
He may not get accepted into Goucher.
He may be faced with an opportunity in his future that will require him to be all in.
No matter what, the lesson he learns from his current approach will serve him well.
But only because he is all in now.
No theory.
No what-if.
Only all in.
Here’s to the crazy ones.
