Disney’s DNA is part of your DNA

Disney Keynote Speaker Jeff Noel
Disney Keynote Speakers look remarkably like ordinary citizens.

Now imagine the difference between one closer inspection versus a lifetime of seeing it under a microscope.

When you see the actual DNA, the smallest pieces that hold the Disney Culture together, everything you believe in, and why, changes.

Never, ever

Not sure. Could be Glacier National Park. Might be Castaway Cay.

So yeah, no, i never wanted to be a public speaker.

No dream.

No wish.

Not even a remote thought that just randomly came and went.

Never.

No desire nor interest ever happened, ever, before Carol called.

Ever.

No idea what you’re talking about

Saint Roy. Roy came out of retirement after Walt died in 1966. Roy stood here in 1971 to deliver the dedication speech.

i normally let internal calls go to voice mail on a super busy day, because if it’s urgent, they can page me – this was 1998, in the pre-mobile phone era.

“May I speak with Jeff please, this is Carol from Disney Institute.”

“This is Jeff?”

“I need to schedule your lunch meeting with Steve Heise.”

“I have no idea what you’re talking about. You’ve got the wrong Jeff.”

“You’re Jeff Noel, right?

“Yes. But i have no idea what you’re talking about.”

Carol said she’d investigate and call me back.

Every parent. Mr Incredible. Mrs Incredible. Sounds about right, right?

Great leaders never underestimate the power of being clear, concise, and compelling.
