What to Expect
Attendees can expect engaging, timely training on leadership, including learning from Disney’s proven business insights and illustrations. Here’s an excerpt from the Disney Institute’s session overview:
“One of the frustrations we hear most often is ‘My organization’s goals are not being met because we are not demonstrating consistent leadership.’ Disney Institute helps you consider how to navigate potential frustrations through insights, which were gained over many years from Walt Disney Parks and Resorts.
“Our participants also learn the danger of internal and external turbulence in an organization and how purposeful leaders do not sacrifice their values or drastically change their vision in tough times. Disney Institute shares insights and stories of actions that Walt Disney World® Resort leaders took to sustain our values during turbulent times.”
