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.
Leaving yesterday’s presentation, one of the sponsors hollered, “You have a gift”. I really have a hard time accepting comments like this. Hard to feel deserving or worthy. Didn’t give it much thought until I started writing this post.
Actually, we all have “a gift”. It’s called Summer. It’s here. It’s real. We all get the same one. But will we have a hard time accepting it, feeling worthy of it? Or will we unwrap it and live (work) like we mean it?

Summer is often thought of as a time for fun, sun, vacation, freedom, carefree living. But what about our J.O.B.?
Maybe. Just maybe. Maybe we could look at our work with the above attributes and come Fall 2012, we have made a dramatic leap in our ability to do our J.O.B. better than we ever have in the past.

I swear this happened seconds after writing yesterday’s post. Good friend, and Executive Vice President (Retired & Inspired) Walt Disney World Resort, Lee Cockerell, sent this video with a special note. I wanted to offer the video to you. The note remains private. 🙂
Guy Kawasaki’s video message about Enchantment is 45 minutes long, I have no expectation or illusion you’ll watch it. The real message today is that I was just cautiously writing about working for Disney and shazam, a nice note and and video from Lee.
Serendipity?

Can you blame someone for the way they behave if they’ve only been taught to think one way? I mean, really, culture is what people think and do – without thinking.
For the past 30 years of my professional career, I’ve been trained to think only of excellence. Good and very good aren’t part of the mindset where I work. Everything at my blogs and websites is my personal opinion and not part of my professional career. But really, how do you remove the DNA from a person’s belief system?

Here’s what I’d tell you if you said, “But what if I’m not a disciplined person?”
Me: “I bet when you’re hungry, you would use your resources to get food to eat. You’ve been taught how to do this, and I bet you’re really good at it. But I bet you don’t believe you can apply ‘hunger’ metaphorically to discipline yourself to become decent at life’s basics.”
Common sense – discipline yourself to find a million ways to feed your hunger for life’s basics.
