TEDX Talk practice #8

Disney Institute Keynote Speaker
Yesterday. Miraculously, the WordPress photo uploader worked this time.
Disney Keynote Speakers
Got “greedy” and tried to upload another photo from yesterday but it didn’t work. So i used this one from last year instead.

TEDX Talk practice #8 at a local hospital (1st photo above) for the CEO and the 20-member executive team.

What is fun about this preparation is balancing the high stakes potential personal outcome and the risk that i may not be ready by April 27. To become intimate with what resonates and what doesn’t, repetition and reflection is key.

There are 17 days days until the TEDx Talk in Kuwait.

Meanwhile, i need to prepare for tomorrow’s marathon podcast recording day.

Eventually, everyone knows it’s a Disney character, but may not know which one.

It’s not the Magic that makes it work, it’s the work that makes it Magic.

If Disney Ran Your Life Podcast Google search results

Will Google search for Disney Keynote Speaker or Jeff Noel yield the new headshot photos?

If Disney Ran Your Life Podcast Google search results.

Second page.

Not bad for only having 12 weekly episodes published.

If Disney Ran Your Hospital has every link on the Google front page. Can’t wait to move there too.

3 Announcements yesterday

Disney Keynote Speaker jeff noel
Ty did all the arranging himself, with no input from me.

3 Announcements yesterday

  • Gary V LinkedIn videos inspired my video challenge (did you ever see the first video ever posted to YouTube?)
  • Yesterday morning i completed an epic 10-year (3,652 consecutive day) writing challenge (and start year 11 today)
  • Quietly mentioning on video a new podcast, If Disney Ran Your Life, which has 11 episodes available on iTunes and Stitcher (Cast Preview Days…practice episodes to be sure)

Will short (60-seconds or less) videos become a thing? Time will tell. Writing was never supposed to become a thing either.

Guest Podcast yesterday

Disney Keynote Speaker
It’s not the Magic that makes it work, it’s the work that makes it Magic.

Guest Podcast yesterday. Mike Simmons at Catalyst Sale Podcast had me on for “The First Noel” on December 25, 2018. He invited me back for April Fools Day 2019.

We decided this in mid-December, and did it less than 24 hours ago.

The podcast theme was .think .differently and doing the impossible.The only time i could easily record this was walking home from the gym using Air Pods and being near traffic.

We lost audio quality but we gained a recording. Will the content trump the sound quality? Depends why you listen.
