January 2017 – Disney Employee Engagement Speaker

It wouldn’t seem so magical if people saw backstage

Disney University lobby — Yesterday, a Sunday, my closest Disney writing location.

It wouldn’t seem so magical if people saw backstage.

Disney hides all the behind the scenes stuff so Guests only see the end result from painstaking attention to detail, including a chaotic environment fueled by all the things that make life challenging.

Disney isn’t immune to any of it.

Neither am i.

Find a million ways to eliminate excuses.

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.

Sadly, this is the path they can’t see in front of them

Orlando Cross Country regionals 1A — Yesterday, October 29, 2016 – Orlando Cross Country Regionals 1A.

Orlando Cross Country Trophy — Winning Districts one week ago wasn’t enough to earn a team (or individual) award yesterday.

Sadly, this is the path they (High Schoolers) can’t see in front of them. Important to note, when we were High Schoolers, we didn’t see this path either.

To exercise and run with literally wild abandon and joy.

Sure, the boys did well and the girls even better (qualified for States with their team finish), but what happens after leaving high school is so predictable.

The easier it is to get healthy, the less it’s worth

Mid Life Celebration book — Over three years ago…submitting files to the publisher.

i am biased because i believe the long way is the short cut – the easier it is to get healthy, the less it’s worth.

Yes, taking pills solves for many issues that arise as we age.

Here’s a thought…there’s a preventative “pill” that attacks many ailments before their onset.

The pill?

Regular exercise, a balanced diet, and adequate rest.

And don’t even get me started on “stress reduction” – having spiritual/emotional strength to manage a generally overwhelming and unpredictable life.

Back on the horse

Workout app — Trivial, yet celebratory, the flexibility to alter the process and still be happy about it.

At Disney, we succeed because we focus on creating the right structure and processes, and improving or changing them as needed.

Running and a gym workout are not my Thursday routine, but yesterday it was.

Will get back to M-W-F next week.

Being sick for 48 hours really hammers home how different it feels when you’re not feeling vibrant and well.

Skipping is ok once in awhile

conference name tag — Before trashing this yesterday, it reminded me how little it takes to dress up “par for the course”. Added the thin box outline and the smile.

Skipping is ok once in awhile.

Not recommended when training is in season.

But otherwise, listen to your body.

My ill and aching body said, “Take a break.”

It felt good to listen and act without stress.
