Michael Lyons: Freelance Writer, Author, Podcastor, Previous Walt Disney World Leader and Pixie Dust Enthusiast!
In our chat - Michael shares stories and lessons that are included in his latest book (Magic Moments). Although they are experiences that have taken place during his experience working at Walt Disney World - the lessons are very relatable. If you are a leader - you will be sparked to think of magic moments you’ve experienced AND think about how you can create more magic moments for your team!
You need to listen to the whole episode and take notes!
A few of the areas we discuss are:
What ‘magic moments’ are (Michael describes them as any fortuitous moment that keeps us moving forward)
The importance of creating an meaningful experience on an employee’s first day (of work, with you as a leader, etc.)
How leading through change plays into creating magic moments
The impact of mentorship
How to lead through challenging times
How personal challenges shape your story
Please listen to the episode - Michael is a joy to listen to!
