Disney Brand Loyalty Keynote Speaker
Five daily blogs about life's 5 big choices on five different sites.
Has it ever crossed your mind?
Loyalty. Organizational loyalty. The loyalty you show. The loyalty you receive.
And even if, for what ever reason, you question your current loyalty, where else would you go to find it?
Catch 22, isn’t it?
Here’s a provocative perspective from a business contact from LinkedIn.

Of the things a leader can spend time doing, maintaining, growing and reinforcing corporate culture should be on the short list of critical success factors.
Can you imagine trying to be world-class with an average corporate culture?
Can you imagine a team of highly energized, focused, and driven professionals in an average corporate culture?
What would happen if a great organization took it’s corporate culture for granted?
What would happen to a good (not great) organization that elevated it’s corporate culture?
The other day, I went outside my Hotel for a breath of fresh air. During a ten minute break to take a walk, I shot a half dozen “one-take-You Tube videos”.
Most of them were about culture. You can observe a lot by watching:
Maybe you are all set with your corporate culture. Maybe you have a great personal culture for you and your family. You do focus these business applications to your personal life, right?
What are you waiting for?
Last weekend, my son (9) and I were relaxing in our pool at sunset. I asked him, “You know why I’m working so hard on the business, right”?
“In case you lose your job”?, he said, questioning.
“Well sort of, but not really because of that. I would like to have more control over the impact one can make on our world. Being a business owner doesn’t guarantee that, but it sure does increase the odds”.
Reminded him of the power of hard work and how it’s harder at the beginning, in virtually everything, because there’s so much to learn.
Funny thing, for a nine-year old, he gets it. And it’s easy to see why.
When his Dad became a parent, he worked really hard at the beginning, because there was so much to learn.
PS. What I didn’t tell him is the “business” is my attempt to help raise enough money to find a cure for his disease.
Disney, Branding, Disney?
Personal branding is something we are all aware of, right? Just like personal wellness is something we are all aware of. Are you with me?
OK, so we know these things, but the people who actually get great results, versus good results, are those that work the hardest.
Seriously, it’s what we all know to be true, but hate to admit.
Why, because hard work is, well, hard.
Here’s a case in point from my early morning drive to work this past Friday.
Like Tiger told me a year ago, “Out work ’em”!
Words to live by, but only if you want to get great results.
If great results are not part of your responsibilities, then I would just enjoy this post for what it is.
A personal opinion expressed by someone brought up in a culture where getting great results is a personal brand.
