Keep It Quiet’s Post

🫧🫧Lessons I learned as a Walt Disney World Cast Member🫧🫧 🏰 I can do hard things. *cue flashback of Christmas Day at Magic Kingdom* 🏰 Cognitive Flexibility is different than Psychological Flexibility. I learned pivoting skills that I use to this day and I am able to adjust to new or even escalating situations on a dime. However, psychologically, it took a toll on me and it’s something I have to work on daily. *cue flashback of picking up a PAC shift* What is a PAC shift? Parade/Firework audience control. Enough said. 🏰 Joy & Kindness truly allows for beautiful connections. Half the time there was always a language barrier, but using empathy and kindness I was able to communicate and provide magical experiences to those that spoke a different language than I did. 🏰 Discipline and a sense of identity is learned the hard way sometimes. The Walt Disney Company is notorious for their incredibly long list of rules/regulations. This included a very strict “look” of what Cast Members were allowed to wear, show, and express. It taught me the importance of having an identity outside of my job. 🏰 The most important lesson I learned was something I’ve always been taught, but I got to live it out: Giving is better than receiving. I would give anything to make a family’s day or to see a little girl with a pink sparkly dress smile at the sight of a golden ticket pass. #magicalmoments are what I lived for. There are so many more lessons that I hold dearly to my heart. These are just a few that stood out to me today during my time of reflection. #magickingdom #castmember #lessonslearned

I took my kids to Disney! The happiness place on Earth 🌎 Here’s what a trip to Disney can teach me about how to be a better team leader. Here’s what I found out: 1. The Little Things are the Big Things Just like Mickey Mouse pays attention to every guest, a good leader notices even the small things that make a team happy. ^^^ starts with self-awareness 👁️ 👁️ 2. The Journey is Part of Winning Ever wait in line for a ride? In life, sometimes we have to wait calmly for the good stuff, like a great project to finish. ^^^ it’s who we become while we wait - resilient. 3. Different is Good Disney has lots of different characters, and they all work together to make a great day for everyone. A team with different kinds of people can do amazing things if they all work towards the same goal. ^^^ a symphony of sameness wouldn’t sound that great. Going to Disney taught me that to make big dreams come true, you need fun, patience, and a team that brings all kinds of ideas to the table. That’s how we make magic in the real world too! ••• What are you doing to have fun and make magic? #FunLeadership #TeamMagic #DisneyDay

Our team has officially posted my former position on the Disney Careers site! Take a look at the job description and if you think you'd be a good fit or have questions about the role, please let me know. (Job link posted in the comments below)

In the theme park sector of the Walt Disney Company, one of the first lessons you learn is the concept of the "millionth time question." You’ll be asked, countless times, questions like "Where is the restroom?" or "What time does the park close?" While it may be the millionth time you've heard it, it’s the first time that guest is asking. It’s important to approach each question with the same kindness and magic as the very first time. I emphasize kindness because not every role requires the full "Disney magic," but they all demand a level of compassion and professionalism. Lately, I’ve seen posts from industry professionals expressing frustration over repetitive questions. But it’s important to remember that you're being asked because you’re the resource or the subject matter expert. If we approached every interaction with kindness, rather than frustration, the world would be a much better place. #choosekindness

What Would Disney Do??? They would harness the power of words. Disney understands the importance of choosing your words wisely. The language they use doesn't just shape their brand—it sets the tone for what people expect from them, whether clients or team members. In their theme parks, Disney selects language that reinforces the importance of each cast members' impact of putting on a tremendous show for their guests. Terms like "backstage" and "on stage" to label guest and non-guest areas, reminds cast members of the behaviour expected of them when they're in sight of theme park visitors. The term 'cast member' empowers each individual within the organization to contribute to creating an unforgettable experience for guests, whether they interact directly or play a supporting role behind the scenes. Within your organization, I encourage you to leverage language as a tool to strengthen your brand narrative. This not only distinguishes you in a fiercely competitive market but also communicates clear expectations to both your employees and clients. #WhatWouldDisneyDo

What is the Most Magical Place on Earth? In 2018, my family and I went on a one week trip to Disney World. We stayed at the Caribbean resort in Disney World. I must admit, Disney world has been the best vacation I have taken so far. And it seemed to me that that there where more adults than kids in Disney World. Just saying. When we arrived at the Caribbean resort in Disney World, I saw warning signs for alligators and I thought to myself, this is where we are going to be staying for a week so I figured there must be a catch. So I asked one of the staff about alligators and I was assured that I did not need to worry. That alligators would target kids more than anything so we were told just to be careful with my daughter. The lesson here is that whatever data or information you have especially in real estate, make sure that the information is interpreted in the right context! There is more than meets the eye! #DisneyWorld #MostMagicalPlaceOnEarth #FamilyVacation #CaribbeanResort #DisneyMagic #TravelStories #VacationMemories #SafetyFirst #AttentionToDetail #DisneyExperience #RealEstate #RightContext
