Retire – Page 6 – Disney Leadership Keynote Speaker

Happy one year Disney milestone anniversary

Marriott key packet — Jacksonville, FL Marriott arrival yesterday.

Our lives tick by one after the other. Day after day after day.

When does sucking the marrow out of life begin?

Seriously, when?

Never in a million years did i think blogging would change my life.

To carve out two hours every morning to contemplate yesterday, today, and tomorrow…pure joy.

Writing this on July 23 from the Jacksonville Marriott knowing this will go live on Halloween, a very special, once-in-a-lifetime day.

What’s cool after two hours? The sun comes up and another amazing day unfolds.

Relax and enjoy the Magic?

Yes, and…

Life is good as a Disney retiree.

Many think i’m astonishingly lucky and have no idea…

It was six years in the making.
It was remarkably intentional.
It was a ton of work.

Still working as hard as ever, but only at one full-time job – Mid Life Celebration.

Second month of Disney retirement begins today

What’s keeping you on edge today, recently, or coming up this week?

Retirement is the wrong word to describe life right now.

Career change is what’s happening. Received the second pension check (direct deposit) this morning though.

Weird.

Weird is good.

Disney retirement is officially official

(photo: Mid Life Celebration released on Amazon nearly a year to the day – everything is going according to plan…)

What happens when you pair one of your bold, audacious goals with living like you mean it?

Received the call from the Fidelity Benefits Coordinator that retirement is officially official. While Disney had processed the separation two weeks ago, it also had to upload into Fidelity’s system. That happened today.

A surreal feeling that helps make this life event feel more real. Really real you might say. Burn the ships real.

When a spouse retires this creates what’s called a life event. A life event qualifies as significant enough to allow for modifying health care coverage to include a retired spouse.

Dear Son, what looks like luck, privilege, or ease is massively anything but. So glad you know this without a shadow of a doubt.

Third day of retirement begins right now

(photo: 30 years at Disney, including the past 15 years consulting with some of the biggest Companies in the world)

On the third day of retirement there is an unusual feeling never felt before in 55 years. One that began swelling up yesterday (a Sunday) with the realty that there is no longer a boss to answer to today.

Or ever.

Not in the traditional sense anyway.

There’s a new sherif in town as they say. He’s a good guy.

jeff noel is an Orlando based motivational speaker. He has spoken to one million+ people globally. Mostly Fortune 500’s.

He recently retired from Disney after 30 incredible years, including the past 15 speaking for Disney Institute.

It is rare when someone with this experience, personality, and drive become available.
