Disney .thinks .differently

book cover for The Comfort Crisis
A 10-year executive coaching client (CEO of 3k employee enterprise recently purchased by a 300k person enterprise) sent this yesterday. Can you guess who he said it reminded him of?

Disney Excellence Paradox:

Teaching Disney Institute’s world-class curriculum to a million people over 15 years, my participants always appreciated when i said this:

“We don’t do these things because we’re Disney, we’re Disney because we do these things.”

The above quote is my response to anyone insisting that Disney has special abilities and secrets that outsiders can’t touch.

It is my way of trying to snap a person back to reality.

Finally, this insight frames one of my daily mantras: Stop making excuses that excellence is only reserved for privileged people and privileged companies. Be amazed and be amazing.

So much thinking

So much thinking.

To be well past 25,000 published blog posts requires a daily .thinking .differently habit that defies logic.

The journey of walking around the Earth begins with a single step.

Note: Walking across the Earth will require a boat ride or two as well.
