The Executives were inspired with what i thought was routine

 

Disney Leadership author jeff noel
To document the journey is not self-indulgent, it’s marketing, and cultural documentation for your company.

 

What i thought was routine inspired the executives.

i love helping C-Suite executives see the light.

My gift from 30 years at Disney is the ability to illuminate cultural architecture for world-class organizational vibrancy.

Think of the architecture as cultural blueprints.

Senior leadership has intentionally built in everything they need for corporate wellness.

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.

i never let that happen, except yesterday

Awaiting an intimate group of the seven top company executives. Take note of the five blank posters on the far wall.

 

Disney management Consultant
Revealed these posters one by one after the content was revealed during the slide presentation.

 

i resisted doing it, and told the CEO why. But i did it anyway as a favor to the CIO who recommended me – he is also a former client from Disney Institute.

i was justified in not wanting to do a “sales presentation”.

At best i give myself a C (average).

My goal is never anything less than an A+.

Five core topics with a total of 19 strategies, plus two 10-15 minute activities was impossible in 60 minutes, my allowed time.

i went over by 10 minutes and used a verbal Uzi to spray as much content as possible – for their benefit.

i opened and closed with activity, there was none for the 40-minute middle chuck.

i never let that happen.

Except yesterday.

Changed? Really?

The day prior, i taught a room of Healthcare professionals how to draw Mickey Mouse’s head.

Which managers?

A typical Lake Buena Vista Hilton meeting room. i’ve delivered keynote speeches here many times.

 

Changed? Really?

That’s what i asked, and she said, “Yes”.

We have been in negotiations for over a year. The CEO tapped her to keep it alive a few months ago after he wasn’t able to personally continue with it.

Just from our conversations (which i hadn’t realized were impactful to her), she was influenced to change some key behaviors. And her changes have been incredibly beneficial to her relationships with the eight member executive council, including her CEO.

Insight: You never know the power of a positive ripple effect.

The executive coach is only charging me a buck per session

orlando inspirational Disney speaker
Yesterday’s first coaching session was at the Nature preserve.

 

The executive coach is only charging me one dollar per session. He’s pursing an advanced, executive coaching certification. One requirement is to have five paying clients.

We already have an incredibly trusting relationship because we’ve worked together at Disney Institute. We are both out on our own now.

i’m receiving this coaching with the sole motive being to help him.

But we all know that in the giving we receive.

Yesterday’s first session allowed something i was hanging onto to melt away. Just in time for the call with Anitra.
