A Place For
Big And Small
Focused on business success, We go to Orlando.
Did you know?
Mickey is turning 90 this year. That is a big accomplishment.
Fresh Summit is themed BIG this year: Big Topics. Big Voices.
And there is a place for that.
But, I confess, when in Orlando
I like to visit the Magic Kingdom,
The heart of Walt Disney World.
And I like to go to the heart of the park, In front of Cinderella Castle.
There stands the Partners Statue
Depicting Walt Disney holding Mickey’s hand.
Walt used to say:
“I only hope that we don’t lose sight of one thing... That it was all started by a mouse.”
My dad used to like that quote.
It summed up his idea of business: Focus on the small things,
The good ideas,
The perfect execution,
Delivering value,
Doing the right thing.
And the big things would follow.
As we come together.
We can raise a glass...or eat some cheese...
... To celebrate the Industry And lessons big and small.
