🌟✨ **Disney Magic and Safety: A Powerful Partnership** ✨🌟   As a firm believer in the transformative power of safety culture, I find inspiration in unexpected places. One such source is the unparalleled safety culture of Disney - where the enchantment of "magic" seamlessly intertwines with a commitment to the well-being of guests and cast members. Creating a Safe Haven - Just like Disney parks provide a safe haven for families to create lasting memories, a robust safety program establishes a secure environment where employees can thrive. Empowering Every "Cast Member" - At Disney, every employee is a "cast member," contributing to the overall experience that guests have while visiting the Happiest Places On Earth. Similarly, a safety-focused workplace empowers each team member to play a vital role in the shared responsibility of well-being. Attention to Detail - From meticulously crafted attractions to the smallest details in their parks, Disney exemplifies a commitment to precision. In the safety realm, attention to detail is equally critical, ensuring every aspect of the work environment is meticulously designed for the well-being of all. Global Standards - Disney's commitment to safety is global, setting high standards across diverse cultures. In the same vein, a strong safety program should transcend geographical boundaries, ensuring a universal dedication to well-being and not different from one job site to the next. Innovation for Safety - Disney is a pioneer in entertainment innovation, and innovation is equally crucial in safety practices. Embracing technological advancements and creative solutions enhances safety protocols and fosters a culture of continuous improvement. Let's strive to infuse a bit of Disney “MAGIC” into our approach to safety, creating workplaces where everyone can flourish and experience the enchantment of a secure and thriving environment! #SafetyCulture #DisneyMagic #WorkplaceSafety #SafetyInnovation #Leadership

See the guy in the orange? That’s my “some day” job. As in “some day” I will be the “Guy Who Rides On The Back Of The Tram And Reminds People Where They Parked At Disney World.”(GWROTBOTTARPWTPADW) I’m not really sure what the actual job title and responsibilities to be a GWROTBOTTARPWTPADW are or what skills and abilities are required but I’m pretty sure that I could be great at that job some day. I know Disney World. I can read the names and numbers in the parking lot. I also think I would like wearing reflective clothing. It seems to me the basic responsibilities are to: 1) Welcome People to Disney World, and 2) Remind them where they parked. THROUGH A MICROPHONE ON A TRAIN!!! How much fun would that be? I have spent my career as a professional communicator and as a senior level executive in charge of communications for large national organizations. This feels like it is RIGHT in my wheelhouse. I’m not ready quite yet, will be ready “some day” but if anyone out there is a recruiter for Walt Disney World, let me know. Cause “Some Day” might be here soon… #job #people #communications #recruiter #disney #disneycastlife #career #parking

🫧🫧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
