Leadership Lessons from an Insurrection
The events from the January 6th 2021 shook our nation to its core. Since then I, like many of us have had to stop and think about "leadership" and its influence on our nation and the world. My thoughts are not directed to a political party, platform or person...but the influence we as leaders can have on people in our personal and professional lives and how we can focus our efforts on the positive aspects of leadership and its influences. Sure, this is a tough topic, but one I feel needs to take place.... I hope you find it informative and helpful.

We Can’t Lead Others Till We Can Lead Ourselves.... Dealing with Post Traumatic Stress
This week we address the topic of Post Traumatic Stress (PTS) and how we as leaders need to pay attention not just to those we lead and influence but ourselves. PTS is real and although mostly associated to those in the military or first responders it can impact anyone. I talk about a Veterans Day Panel I sat on to address PTS and some provide some insight and the importance of “reaching out” when we need help. Hope it’s helpful! Remember.... you are important, you are valuable and you are loved!

Don't be afraid of the hard stuff!
This week we talk about addressing how to talk about "tough conversations" regarding issues and relationships and how to contribute to the solution more than being a part of the problem. I will fill you in on feedback I received regarding the NFL's response to race relations and how I turned that into a list of suggestions on how we can work better together... I believe the lessons learn apply not just to issues involving race, but to any difficult topic you will deal with.

My 9-11 Experience
As we recognize the 19th anniversary of the tragic events of 9-11 I'd like to share my experience... Granted, like everyone else, I'm sure you remember where you were and what you were doing on 9-11 when you found out about the first plane hitting the North Tower of the World Trade Center. For me, my family and I were stationed at Spangdahlem Air Base, in the beautiful rolling hills of Southwestern Germany serving at our "dream assignment" with some of the best and brightest military warriors and their families I've ever met. On a day that started like many others...turned into one that would forever reshape our lives. I will share my brief account of events on that day along with some of the lessons I was able to learn from the experience.....

Effort Matters!
This week we address the value and importance of "Effort" in all we do. What credit do you as a leader give to "effort" when looking for that new team member... Where in your "Leadership Values" does effort play a role? We will talk about 4 people from different areas of society that used "effort" to their advantage to either grow and develop or in a few cases "recover" from significant challenges in their lives to achieve new heights. Hope you enjoy the episode and as always would love to get your feedback! LEAD ON!

I've also added a "Final Thoughts" section where I address the appointment of our new Air Force Chief of Staff and Chief Master Sergeant of the Air Force and the historic significance of that event!
