Strolling through Adventureland midway through yesterday’s 10-mile run.
Sunny with a chance of excellence.
The word Disney was intentionally left out of my first book. And even though i worked at Disney for 30 incredible years, the book is not about Disney.

On April Fool’s Day 2009, jeff noel began writing five daily, differently-themed blogs (on five different sites). It was to be a 100-day self-imposed “writer’s bootcamp”, in preparation for writing his first book. He hasn’t missed a single day since.

The Disney Way is compromised of over-focusing on the same things others under-focus on or ignore.
Struggling is a big part of life. You know, the personal struggles we all face.
But what about in business?
Do entire companies need to struggle with a culture that isn’t intentional?
No.
All that needs to be done is to over-focus on the very same things everyone else either under-focuses on or ignores.
My days are spent talking with executive leaders who don’t know how to initiate a culture like this.
It’s what i’ve grown up on, spent a lifetime doing, and now teach others how to do it themselves.
And it all started on January 25, 1982, when i began my Disney career as a front-line Cast Member, jungle jeff.
PS. Sometimes i end a post just like this one. No moral, no punchline, no call to action. It just ends. Why? Because i figure what happens next it up to the reader.

Late yesterday afternoon afforded a little time to trim a few trees.
The International Graphic Designer out did herself Thanksgiving Eve (two days ago). i woke up yesterday and opened her email attachment with the draft of the trifold presentation handout design.
Stunning.
And a perfect metaphor for giving thanks.
She did what i thought was improbable. So i sent her an email sharing exactly that, exclaiming how grateful i am to get to work with her.
It felt good to have so much gratitude on Thanksgiving morning before the sun came up.
