1. “Monsters University” - Behind the Scenes Learnings: There is a new movie, aimed at kids and adults, hitting the screens this week - “Monsters University”. I had fun watching it the other night, seeing a rich mixture of animation, sound, visuals, stories, voices and special effects. So, what was the “behind-the-scenes” story about the creation of Monsters U, put together by Pixar, Disney and Skywalker Ranch?
“Down in the production office, we have this very unique thing,” said Ricky Nierva, the “Monsters University” production designer. “We have these scare canisters for every department, and there’s a light bulb, and as they get closer to 100 (percent finished), they turn a light bulb and the lights turn on. So if you’re 90 percent done, there’s one light bulb left, and then you know when they have that light bulb turning ceremony, and they turn that last one, you’re done. A hundred percent.”

2. Personalizing Leadership Development - An Article. I had the honor of writing an article for one of my favorite magazines: Leader to Leader Journal. It appears in their summer edition. Here is a PDF of the article: http://www.masie.com/leadertoleardersummer2013
3. Booking Rooms and Learning Discounts: Even though Learning 2013 is more than 4 months away, we have been taking a steady stream of registrations and Disney reports heavier booking of rooms than in previous years.
