The Disney way: inspiration, creativity, and having faith in your team | Tom Craven | TEDxACU

In his talk, Tom shares some lessons from his years designing Walt Disney World productions (such as the Electrical Water Pageant, the Main Street Electrical Parade, the Epcot Center Lagoon Show, and a variety of firework shows) to share a message about creativity and the importance of having faith in a dream to make the untried and untested become a reality. During his 41 year career with the Disney company, Tom advanced from Jungle Cruise ride operator to Manager of the Entertainment Division at Walt Disney World. Along the way, he was involved in one way or another with the design, construction, and Grand Opening of Walt Disney World, Epcot Center, Disney Studios, Tokyo Disneyland, and Disneyland Paris. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at http://ted.com/tedx
