Disney Brand Loyalty Keynote Speaker
Five daily blogs about life's 5 big choices on five different sites.
The good lie is the skeptic’s best friend because a lie worth telling is the supreme demonstration of love. Watched The Good Lie yesterday on an iPhone during the flight from Disneyland to Walt Disney World. An inspiring story of tragedy and hope.
Love and leadership have no place in the West’s dog-eat-dog business world.
That’s what we’ve come to believe.
Focus on business results. Increase shareholder value.
What if we’re wrong?
What if love is the ticket to organizational growth?

What good are Company perks if we ignore them?
Employee benefits are meant to bring joy and happiness to employees and their family and friends.
We humans have a habit of postponing today’s joy because we are so busy. We promise ourselves we’ll cash in on those joyful moments when the timing is right.
As they say, “No time like the present”.
There was also an orchestrated Magic Moment at Disney University’s “Company D” store. It included a Disney Cast happy birthday wish and concluded with Donna selecting her choice of a Cast exclusive Disney trading pin, compliments of Mickey Mouse (as far as she knows).
And perhaps the icing on the cake was seeing Mickey Mouse three times at DU. It was unexpected (and delightful) even for the “tour guide”.
While we could have snapped photos of Mickey there, we chose not to out of a deep respect for Disney’s Corporate Culture.
Insight: Not all perks are genuine. Some are meant to manipulate. Today was 100% genuine. Thank you Walt Disney.

As we go through life, the things that we excitedly wait for change. Fidelity Benefits should be calling any day now to announce that retirement is officially processed. It ain’t official until it’s official. Meanwhile…
Day one of week two. Retirement isn’t the right word to describe this situation. Retirement conjures images of rest and relaxation. What’s happening is anything but.
Six years of not quitting the day job have led to the official launch of being self-employed. While it’s painful to leave Disney after 30 years, it’s the right (gutsy) thing to do.

The sad truth? We bury ourselves so deeply with our insecurities, we feel we can’t dig out.
Here’s the quick test, ask yourself when was the last time you took a risk (and when was the time before that?).
If your answer wasn’t today and yesterday, here’s jeff noel’s antidote:
If I never try anything, I never learn anything. If I never take a risk, I stay where I am.

jeff noel, America’s Work Life Balance expert, has writer’s high this morning. It’s similar to runner’s high. But very different from drug-induced highs (smirk). It’s a feeling (in running, and in writing) where the participant gets lost in the rhythm of the activity and reaches a place were the motions are effortless and pleasurable.
