Top Disney Conference Keynote Speakers
If you don’t walk away .thinking. differently the speaker has failed.

 

.think .differently Disney style…

If you’re looking for that type of perspective – thinking differently –  there’s this (retired and out on his own) Disney keynote speaker most people have never heard of…

His ideal client is an organization that has decided to burn the ships – the CEO has made a formal commitment to move forward differently, and better.

It’s a relationship that is analogous to adults who struggle (like i did as i approached my 40th birthday in 1999) with their health and hire a personal trainer to transform decades of decent, but less-than-optimal habits.

PS. What will make this story more interesting is to click through the four other short posts, all with pictures and brief narratives of what speaking was like from five different perspectives. Simply scroll down about 5-6 lines and click “here” to continue until you end up here again.

On April Fool’s Day 2009, jeff noel began writing five daily, differently-themed blogs (on five different sites). It was to be a 100-day self-imposed “writer’s bootcamp”, in preparation for writing his first book. He hasn’t missed a single day since.

Most ambitious person at Disney Institute?

i love the classroom button
In the classroom, or on the stage, i’ll hold up my ambition to transform others against any other speaker anywhere. Unafraid. Confident. Driven. And nearly invisibly, humble.

 

Most ambitious person at Disney Institute?

Last week at Gold’s Gym i bumped into a 20+ year Disney Cast Member with a diverse and acclaimed resume. He has helped Disney Institute on some big projects, yet we never worked together – we know the same people though.

He is feeling stuck in his career and is looking to enroll in an advanced degree.

i offered him an alternative thought.

Shared with him (because the conversation led us to this) that a new leader at Disney Institute (DI) became my boss and in our very first one-on-one meeting, i said, “We need to address the elephant in the room. Thirty years at Disney, 15 of them at DI, and i remain a facilitator. Why?”

He, with two Master’s degrees, wasn’t clear on where i was going with the point, so i continued, “Generally we think of ambition as climbing the ladder vertically – a tangible measurement. But i have chosen a different path; to stay at the lowest level. But make no mistake, i’m the most ambitious person on our team.”

Insight: Not everything that can be measured matters and not everything that matters can be measured.

Promotion time?

(Photo: yesterday’s morning run at CSU caught the very first glimpses of sunshine… many of us go years missing a single moment like this… others go only 24 hours)

When we get promoted to being in charge of feeling alive, what happens?

Could it be the revitalization from a long vacation at work?

Could it be the mental rest?

Could it be the years of working every single day at rethinking life, priorities, and our commitment to these?

Yes.

Final answer.
