Disney Brand Loyalty Keynote Speaker
Five daily blogs about life's 5 big choices on five different sites.
Retired Disney Institute Keynote Speaker and Prolific Blogger. Five daily, differently-themed personal blogs (about life's 5 big choices) on five interconnected sites.
The reality of a busy world shouldn’t tempt us to use it as a crutch. Our job as leaders, and we are all leaders, is to find a way to thrive no matter the circumstances.
And we may fail. In fact, odds are we will.
And this is where our real leadership can surface.
Will we allow ourselves to live and operate in the failed state, or do we redouble (for however long it takes) our efforts to “take the hill“?

Ever wonder if the right people are doing the right things?
As a leader, this should be one of our most pressing priorities.

Professional speakers who preach text book theory are a waste of time and money, in my humble opinion. They can motivate exceptionally well in many cases, yet deep down, they do not have a clean conscious.
When I’m listening to a presenter, I ask…
How often has this instructor been on the front line? A lifetime? How many days in a row have they lived what they preach? A decade, two, or three?
Are they the same person at home, as they preach on the stage?
Perhaps I should apologize for the high expectations.
