    The Hamilton County Leadership Academy is bringing the Disney Institute’s renowned professional development program, “The Disney Keys to Excellence” to Hamilton County on Thursday, July 26 at Oak Hill Mansion.

    The admission to the program will be $349. A discount of $100 will be available to Hamilton County Chamber members ($249) and HCLA graduates.

    An additional discount of $100 will be available per attendee for any organization sending more than one person to the program. (So, $249 for any subsequent attendees of non-Chamber registrants or $149 for any subsequent Chamber registrants or HCLA graduates.)

    Registration will include a continental breakfast and lunch.

    “Professional development programs that we offer to groups meeting at the Walt Disney World Resort have proven extremely popular,” said George Aguel, senior vice president for Walt Disney Parks and Resort. “Community leaders around the country started asking us to bring similar programs to their cities, and ‘The Disney Keys’ program does just that. Participants will discover Disney success stories and learn about management philosophies and behind-the-scenes operations that have made the Walt Disney World Resort a benchmark for businesses around the world.”

    According to Aguel, Disney Institute programs are unique in the world of business. “What makes the Disney learning experience so different and meaningful,” says Aguel, “is that we don’t simply teach theory. We showcase philosophies and strategies that have made the Walt Disney World Resort a success – ideas that are easily adaptable to other organizations. We do this by taking people inside the Disney operation, showcasing on-stage and behind-the-scenes locations so attendees see firsthand how it all happens.”

    The Disney Keys program has four 90-minute sessions:

    • Leadership, Disney Style – Participants discover how effective leadership has been the catalyst at Disney to drive employee/customer satisfaction and bottom-line results, from the company’s inception to today.
    • Management, Disney Style – Participants examine the importance of integrating an organization’s corporate culture into selection, training, and care.
    • Service, Disney Style – Participants explore world-renowned Disney principles for service excellence.
    • Loyalty, Disney Style – Participants learn key practices and principles in building and sustaining loyalty that have made Disney a trusted and revered brand around the world for more than 75 years.

    Thousands of business leaders from more than 35 countries and 40 industries have attended business programs at Disney Institute. At the Walt Disney World Resort in Florida, Disney Institute offers customized programs, workshops, business presentations, and behind-the-scenes tours tailored to meet the needs of groups meeting at Walt Disney World.
