Curiosity is a trait that many children possess naturally, but as we grow up and become self-conscious or even insecure, our sense of curiosity can be diminished. Being curious is a healthy way to become a life-long learner. Curiosity has led today’s guest from cubicle captivity as a financial analyst to becoming a park ranger! His curiosity kicked in to get him into the podcasting world, and today he works on several different shows. He’s here today to talk about his super power!
My guest today is Jody Maberry, who co-hosts the Creating Disney Magic podcast with Lee Cockerell. He also hosts the Park Leaders Show, where he talks about his “outside perspective.” Jody’s journey has led him from financial manager to park ranger to podcaster/business and marketing consultant. From his wide experiences, Jody has great wisdom and inspiration to make your life better and to spur you to take the next trail on your journey. Join us!

Episode 067 Being a Role Model at Work with Lee Cockerell
URL: http://julieannsullivan.com/being-role-model-work-lee-cockerell
It seems like being a boss in the workplace would be an easy job. You just tell everyone else what to do, they do all the work and you call it a day. Well, that’s not exactly how it works. The entire workplace can be toxic when you have a big, bad boss. Employee turnover is higher, stress is rampant and this causes employees to miss more days of work. To top it all off, those who do show up to work are terrified and suffer through an excruciating work experience. It doesn’t have to be that way, and today’s guest is going to show us how to change it.
Lee Cockrell was the Executive VP of DisneyWorld Paris. He began his career by being the big, bad, boss! He used to scare and intimidate his employees and even shares a life changing moment. Lee is an expert in Time Management and he teaches it each and every week. But today, we aren’t focusing on time management and productivity, but we are turning to the soft skills.
Today Lee is here to share his transformation story. His focus now is to help us build great relationships at work. One of the keys to building great work relationships is understanding that you really can’t control people. Great leaders at work can improve work performance and cultivate the next generation of great leadership in the workplace. People want to come to work and learn and grow, and when you feed that part of people, the keep coming back for more.
Lee’s Bio: Former Executive Vice President, Operation for Disney World for ten years. Before Disney, Lee held executive positions with Hilton Hotels for 8 year and Marriott for 17 years. Lee now gives seminars and keynote speeches around the world on Leadership, Management and Customer Service.
