Be an Expert


Creating Disney Magic Episode 518 A Summer as a Seasonal Park Aide

“Magic’s when you do such a good job, nobody can figure out how you do it.”

If you’re aiming to be an expert in your field, keep feeding your brain and stay persistent. 25 years ago, I was terrified to speak even if it were for just 2 minutes. Fast forward, and I’ve given presentations ranging from 90 minutes to 4 hours without any notes. How did I get there? By focusing on things I’m passionate about and continually learning.

I kept listening, studying, reading, and engaging with real-life examples. Yes, there were times I felt unsure and overwhelmed. But the right resources made all the difference.

No brilliance is born overnight. It’s crafted over years of resilience and dedication. How did I build myself to be an expert in time management? The same way you can be an expert in your field.

  • Read extensively
  • Attend seminars and webcasts
  • Engage in continuous learning

It’s easy to let doubt creep in when results don’t come immediately. You must keep filling your brain with quality content and experiences that push you forward. If you do this, you’ll find yourself becoming the go-to person in your organization.

When I started speaking, I was far from an expert. Yet, now I speak often, drawing from experiences with Hilton, Marriott, Disney, and real-life situations. Each experience, each story, becomes a piece of your expertise puzzle.

Remember to keep learning and improving. Your effort will pay off. You’ll be surprised by how much you’ve grown when you look back.

Keep pushing. I believe in your journey to become an irreplaceable expert ready to create magic wherever you go.
