If Disney ran your Speakers Bureau

If Disney ran your Speakers Bureau, your experience would be different than the current industry standards.

And second, your Disney experience would vary depending on who the Disney leader is.

It’s insanely easy for a large, growing, and reputable organization to rest on their laurels.

Responding to client emails within 24 hours is not a standard when you are building your business and your brand, it’s the standard, everyday, all day.

Forgetting that is the beginning of an insidious cultural decline that may prove overwhelming.

It was actually cold and the snow machine created a realistic light snowfall.

Time to head home to do homework.

 

Cheryl comes home from work. She unloads her work stuff from the van and then we head out for a 5:45pm Brown Derby reservation. The Magic began as soon as we arrived. Can’t share the Disney secrets except to say that we feel exceptionally lucky to get to do what we get to do. Magic also happens “backstage”.

#runDisney

Disney Business Consultants
Yesterday midway through a 10-miler.

 

Emailed the photo above to a client at 7:51am (see the watch face upper right time). She appreciated it much more than anticipated. The Magic of what we i do as “normal” is often lost on our my closeness to it.

Decent chance i’ll run back there for tomorrow morning’s run.

There are #runDisney freaks out there. i hope they smile when i post to Twitter.

Brainstorming at Disney

LED old school alarm clock
Woke up in the middle of the night with a great idea. Snapped the photo to remind me of the “great” idea in the morning. i forgot it. It was a really good one too.

 

Brainstorming at Disney is focused on one thing above all others – volume. No judging or critiquing ideas while brainstorming. We can only pick from what we generate, so anything that slows or inhibits volume is prohibited.
