Beyond Stuck in the Middle Seat®: How Disney Lost, Then Restored the Luster to the Magic Kingdom

What’s the worst place in an airplane? The middle seat! Why? You’re literally stuck in a rotten place, possibly for a long time, and you can’t do anything about it. Or can you?

Doug Lipp, respected author, speaker and former head of training at Disney University, uses the middle seat as a metaphor for what happens to all of us in life … we get stuck in uncomfortable places. How do you deal with unfortunate situations? When in a situation that you “can’t control,” what options do you actually have?

This entertaining and thought-provoking webinar addresses such topics as:

  • Creative Problem Solving
  • Work-Life Balance
  • Customer Service
  • Product Development

Join us for this fun-filled, insightful webinar as Doug addresses everything from life-on-the-road horror stories to dealing with organizational change.
