The retirement party was originally booked for Disney’s ESPN Wide World of Sports complex. His team welcomed and supported the change to the Napa Room.

On so many levels, it made perfect sense.

We survive or we thrive.

Being intentional is the key to thriving.

Thank you Walt Disney for your daily inspiration

(photo: Keynote speakers need a memorable logo, an apple, a chair, three circles, a swoosh, etc)

Brainstorming comes so naturally to Disney Cast Members. In fact, we don’t even call it brainstorming. It just is. It’s the culture. The way our work gets done. What we think and do, without thinking.

Last night while trying to fall asleep, these ideas popped up:

Disruptive speaker with 30 years at Disney.
The marketplace’s new best kept secret.
World’s preeminent customer experience expert.

Just a few little sparks. Like when Walt was sitting on a (city) park bench thinking there ought to be someplace where children and parents could have fun together – the genesis of Disneyland.

Why time stamp these posts? Why are they 100 days old?

Orlando based motivational speaker, jeff noel, is the Grateful Dead of blogging.

Most people don’t get the Dead’s music. But some do. And the ones who do, enjoy a very special connection that others aren’t interested in.

Besides that, the writing here isn’t to create a following, it’s to create a ruckus.

Starting with the person typing these very words.

Walt said the greatest of all is confidence

(photo: Three nights ago at Disney Hollywood Studios Sci-Fi Diner… pretty sure there are shoulder pads n Walt’s suit)

Somehow I can’t believe that there are any heights that can’t be scaled by a man who knows the secrets of making dreams come true. This special secret, it seems to me, can be summarized in four Cs. They are curiosity, confidence, courage, and constancy, and the greatest of all is confidence. When you believe in a thing, believe in it all the way, implicitly and unquestionably. -Walt Disney

Love that this Walt Disney quote was the final Disney email signature used leading up to retirement.
