Always aiming for sincere

Disney Customer Service Speaker Jeff Noel on stage
Iowa City, Iowa. Note the microphone wire isn’t tucked into the shirt. It is a way to tell a story. Wasn’t going for slick presenter. Always aiming for real, unpretentious.

When you work as intentionally on your health as you do on your work-art and vice versa, Magic happens.

Observe someone who takes great care of themself and approaches their work as a craftsperson, an artist – this combo tells a story the audience finds refreshing, important, and model-worthy.

Don’t jinx yourself

Don’t jinx yourself.

What do you mean?

Remember why you started writing, why you continue writing, and why you see yourself always writing.

Some days you cannot stop

Some days you cannot stop writing.

You wakeup and start writing.

You get in a groove you didn’t see coming.

You go with it.

You stop to eat and go to the bathroom.

And then you stop at bedtime.

Note: Sometimes you write past your bedtime. Just know it can happen when the flood is at its highest.

Celebrate your vibrancy

Disney Customer Service speaker, his wife, and Donald Duck
Donald is in disbelief that he gets to be in a Jungle Jeff (and Cheryl Noel) selfie.

The more you genuinely care for your employees, the more they genuinely care for your customers. Common sense, rarely common practice. What’s it like working at Disney? Depends on who your leader is. Why? Because their ability to genuinely care feeds your answer, “What’s it like to work at Disney?”

Note: In the absence of a caring leader, you lean heavily on your peers and customers. You adapt and find “extra” joy and appreciation from them to compensate until your current leader gets promoted or transfers.
