Disney Institute Offers Professional Workshop in Meredith

Walt Disney was a creative genius who, along with his brother Roy, redefined the rules of business while building his entertainment empire.  The success of the Disney brand is unmistakable, and business owners and professionals in New Hampshire wishing to improve their companies’ performance would be wise to attend a workshop based on Disney’s organizational strategies taking place in the Lakes Region next week.

“Disney’s Approach to Business Excellence” is a full-day event that will be presented by the Disney Institute and the Lakes Region Chamber of Commerce on Wednesday, May 4^th at Church Landing at The Inns and Spa at Mill Falls.  This renowned professional development program will teach professionals proven and adaptable Disney business philosophies and techniques, allowing them to drive business results, retain employees, and satisfy customers.  The training will offer several easy-to-implement approaches in five core areas: leadership, people management, quality service, brand loyalty, and creativity.

“This is our first event offered through the Disney Institute,” says Karmen Gifford, Executive Director at the Chamber, noting that the group has not been in New Hampshire for about seven years.  “It is a unique opportunity, or as Disney says, ‘magical.’”  The workshop costs $399 per person and includes a light breakfast, lunch, and an afternoon snack.  “This is a excellent chance for businesses to have their staff participate and learn about Disney’s Approach to Business Excellence without paying the cost for airfare to Orlando, lodging and meals,” continues Karmen.  “As part of the program, one lucky attendee will win a chance to attend the Disney Institute program in Orlando, Florida at a later date.”

Karmen says the day program is very well organized and led by two Disney facilitators.  According to the Disney Institutewebsite, the group has “inspired leaders to change not only their business practices, but also to examine their business issues in an entirely new light. Like them, you will find your organization has more in common with Disney than you ever imagined.”

Supercharge your profession and “experience the business behind the magic” of Disney while enjoying a spring day on the shore of beautiful Lake Winnipesaukee!  As of today there are 150 seats still available.  To register for the event, visit the Chamber website or call (603) 524-5531.
