Something whispered lovingly

Disney Keynote speaker Jeff Noel TEDx Talk
Blogging led to a 2019 TEDx Talk in Kuwait.

Something whispered lovingly in my ear.

It was as if the magnitude of the previous attempts and broken promises led to one final, Olympic-sized dare – are you really who you claim to be, Mr. “Behave-Admirably-All-The-Time” Disney?

Be a Disney Leader

Being a Disney Leader takes behaving admirable from an individual, front-line Cast Member perspective to an exponentially higher level as a leader.

Leading yourself admirably is challenging and important enough.

But leading others lifts your responsibility and accountability into a world-class public reputation spotlight — and microscope.

Ironically, in 2007, was leading the (uncomfortable/scary) conversation about using a new tool called social media.

Specifically “Web-Logs” to feed the Internet with the good news about what Disney Institute is, how Disney Institute works, and why Disney Institute matters to other National and Global businesses.

Web-Log soon thereafter shortened to a new name, Blog.

Blogging caught my eye originally as a “free” way to help Disney Institute grow our business.

If you’ve got a chance take it. Take it while you’ve got a chance. If you’ve got a dream, chase it, ’cause a dream won’t chase you back.

The vision is simple

While we were trying to start a family, with the years ticking by, this $2.99 Walmart poster provided a vision of our goal – becoming parents. We already had the gardens.

The vision is simple.

Write a life guide to our children in case something bad ever happens to their father (me).
