232-Building a Rich Life By Climbing the Corporate Ladder: Interview with Lee Cockerell, Retired Executive from Walt Disney World Resort

  1. 232-Building a Rich Life By Climbing the Corporate Ladder: Interview with Lee Cockerell, Retired Executive from Walt Disney World Resort Joshua Sheats 47:26

Climbing the corporate ladder is time-tested and proven path to income and impact. And the cool thing about this approach to career success is that you can begin where you are and simply start working the process.

My guest today did just that. Lee Cockerell started with few advantages. After a stint in the military he took a job as a waiter in a Hilton hotel and went to work. He finished his 41-year corporate career as the Executive Vice President of Operations for Walt Disney World responsible for 40,000 cast members.

After retiring from the corporate world he transitioned to teaching leadership and sharing the principles of success that he has learned with others.

Lee is a dynamic guy and a wealth of information and inspiration.

Enjoy the interview!
