Add a Plus to the Work You Do


Creating Disney Magic Episode 510 Add a Plus to the Work You Do“Always do what they expect and then give them something they don’t expect. A little plus it up. Give them a little bit more.”

It felt like time to take a walk down memory lane to revisit a never-before-heard episode. Jody and I recorded for the very first time together at the 2015 Podcast Movement. This throwback episode highlights timeless lessons on leadership, management, and customer service.

Three key takeaways from the episode:

  • Embrace Connection: At conferences or any networking events, don’t shy away from introducing yourself. Building relationships and connecting with others can lead to invaluable learning experiences and opportunities.
  • Plus It Up: Inspired by Walt Disney’s philosophy, always strive to give a little extra in everything you do. Whether it’s adding a thoughtful touch or going the extra mile, those small efforts can leave a lasting impression.
  • The Power of Small Things: Often, it’s not the grand gestures but the small, consistent acts of kindness and appreciation that build strong relationships and a positive work environment. Focus on the little things, and the big things will take care of themselves.
