Disney Leadership Keynote Speaker
Five daily blogs about life's 5 big choices on five interconnected sites.
Last night was a once-in-a-lifetime moment.
What advice can we offer an 8th-grader?
We need something to do, someone to love, and something to hope for.
Make the assumption these three are lifelong goals.
Suggestion:
Over-manage the same things others under-manage or ignore. Focus and discipline only fail when they are under-managed or ignored.

Our ability to control our attitude is greater than anyone will ever be able to convince us.
It’s way greater than we have allowed ourselves to believe.
But here’s a little secret.
There is no secret sauce.
There is a sauce, but it ain’t a secret.
Worked at Disney for 30 years. Spent a lifetime learning from the best inside the Disney organization. Spent 15 years at Disney Institute teaching Disney’s business insights to global companies.
Disney’s secret sauce is simple and not a secret. It’s the relentless discipline to always focus on overmanaging things others undermanage or ignore.
Organizational vibrancy is the result of being intentional where others are unintentional.

What is Disney’s best kept secret? Disney Vacation Club had it as a tagline for many years.
In the world of positive organizational culture attitude, Disney’s best kept secret is an Orlando based Motivational speaker and 30-year Disney veteran. The fact he can confidently make this claim is a testament to the power of our mental thoughts.
He’s out on his own, speaking and enlightening business leaders in the world’s most respected companies. He did it for 15 years at Disney Institute, and he’s still doing it, here.
PS. (This post was written 100 days ago, shortly after retiring. Reading it now, Feb 28, it feels awkward. Leaving it as is. It captures the vibe of that day, right or wrong, appropriate or inappropriate.)

So easy to label it a gift, this daily writing about Life’s Five Big Choices.
Simultaneously, it’s so easy to say the most admirable companies in the world are lucky because they have the magic to make things work.
In both cases it can be summarized this way:
It’s not the magic that makes it work, it’s the hard work that makes it magic.
There is no room for excuses in the pursuit of excellence.

Our attitude for the future directly (and with profound quiet) impacts our present moments.
You may not know: Wrote the book for our son knowing he may not read it for 10, 20, or 30 years, when he is looking for answers to important questions he’s having for the first time in his life.
