Emotion trumps everything

Emotion trumps everything.

Ain’t it da truth?

It is, when you move your spiritual buttocks. Serve like you mean it.

What an executive resource never does

Walt Disney quote
Never forget that impossible goals are the only goals capable of stirring the human soul.

What an executive resource never does:

Never forgets the client’s vision.

Never forgets to lead with questions.

Never believes in your vision more than you do. (Ps. No one will.)

Never goes easy on the executive champions.

Never stops asking questions.

Never stops having fun.

Profoundly simple

The time-tested meeting architecture on the left. Disney Institute’s additional layer, from our fanatical habit of over-focusing on the same things others under-focus on or ignore.
Handwritten notes
Sitting in the back of a Disney Institute class while my co-facilitator was leading the discussion, an idea popped in my head. If i don’t immediately write it down, it gets lost forever. Only later do i have time to evaluate if the scribbled idea has merit.
Five flip chart pages on the wall
Have never seen Disney Institute break down the five “obvious and universal business pillars”. Nor have i ever seen them (remember, i was at Disney 1982-2014) articulate 19 organizational blueprints that dovetail into the five common-sense organizational pillars.
Disney's creativity class draw Mickey Mouse result
Organizational creativity requires parameters. The paradox of “think outside the box”. Drawing Mickey Mouse nails this insight. Before i recognized the the insight from this ‘standard’ activity, none of my Disney Institute colleagues used “Draw Mickey” to hit the “think inside the box” bullseye.

Profoundly simple.

Simply profound.

With our spirit: Faith, Hope, and Love.

With our work: A clear, concise, and compelling vision.

Five personal ‘justs’

Disney customer service keynote speaker
Stumbled on this Disney Keynote photo. Clearing (deleting) texts yesterday and stumbled on three photos i didn’t know i had. The conference photographer texted them soon after the event. This is the third one.

Five ‘justs’:

  1. Just positivity
  2. Just movement
  3. Just prayer
  4. Just art
  5. Just organize
