ACT Now Education’s Post

In the tapestry of military service, each thread represents a story of tenacity, leadership, and profound commitment. Do you have an uplifting narrative from your service days that encapsulates these qualities? An experience that not only demonstrates the integrity of military life but also resonates with the core values of leadership and resilience. The Armed Forces Business Centre CIC (AFBC) recognises the importance of these stories. They are more than just personal memories; they serve as powerful examples of leadership, adaptability, and teamwork. As we share these stories, we reaffirm our commitment to supporting those who have served and continue to serve. Each account contributes to a greater understanding of the unique skills and attributes honed in the armed forces skills that are immensely valuable in the business world. These stories inspire us, offering insights into the principles that can guide successful civilian careers and enterprises. I encourage you to share your experiences on this platform, where professionals from diverse backgrounds can gain wisdom from your journey. Let’s use these narratives to educate, motivate, and reflect on the exceptional capabilities developed through military service. Join the conversation and let your story be one that sparks inspiration and fosters a deeper appreciation for the virtues that military service instills. #AFBC #Family #Community #Armedforces #Military #Emergencyservices #NHS #Colchester

"None but an armed nation can dispense with a standing army. To keep ours armed and disciplined is therefore at all times important." -Thomas Jefferson Thomas Jefferson's quote highlights the vital importance of discipline in ensuring security and effectiveness, applicable not just to nations but also to personal, family, and organizational leadership. Discipline acts as the foundation for navigating challenges, seizing opportunities, and achieving goals. It is crucial for those leading or aspiring to lead to integrate discipline into their practices, fostering an environment of reliability and progress. Consider how enhancing discipline could improve your leadership and effectiveness within your family or organization. Identify one area for improvement—be it time management, routine establishment, or team accountability—and take a definitive step towards strengthening discipline in that aspect. Jefferson's insight encourages us to see discipline as essential to our collective and personal well-being, urging us to act and maintain a disciplined approach to life and leadership. #discipline #Leadership #family #military #usarmy #veterans

💫 Transition Tip Tuesday 💫 What got you here, won’t get you there. What the hell does that mean? 🤷🏼♂️ It means you could have been super successful in the military but you will likely need to re-invent yourself to be successful in corporate America. Just like what made you a great “Individual Contributor” likely won’t make you a great Manager. Or how you became a rockstar Platoon Sergeant won’t necessarily be how you rock out as a Command Sergeant Major. 🤯 New roles and new industries require new and different skills. Make an assessment, understand your new environment, and become the New You to be successful in your new environment. 😎 Happy Tuesday! #transitioningmilitary #militarytransition #tuesdaytransformation #tuesdaytips #tuesdaythoughts #veteranshelpingveterans #leadershipdevelopment #newbeginnings #newyou

In the professional sphere of human resources, the competencies and leadership qualities we admire are often learned through dedicated service. Today, I want to recognize the invaluable skills and discipline our military personnel cultivate and contribute to every aspect of civilian life post-service. The parallels to business are clear: determination, strategy, and adaptability are key traits both on the battlefield and in the boardroom. #MilitaryLeadership #ProfessionalGrowth #HR #Veterans

General Joe Robles’ passing has reminded me of how fortunate I have been to experience the leadership of great military leaders throughout my US Navy and civilian careers. I have learned from some of the best. USAA military Veteran employees connected with General Robles because “service before self” and “taking care of the crew first” are fundamental leadership principles to anyone who has led in the military. His brand of leadership is hard to find in corporate #America. A photo of General Robles at the #ArmyNavy Game seems appropriate. Thanks to Greg Hansen for reminding me of Robles’ Leadership Principles: 1. Lead by example, but be out in front. "Good leaders should not have to push." 2. Don't always be on transmit mode; the receive mode is often better-LISTEN 3. Communicate---Communicate---Communicate 4. When in charge...take charge! 5. Arguing your point is not disrespect...but be smart enough to know when your soapbox has been kicked out from underneath you. 6. Work smarter, not longer and harder. 7. Be flexible, be agile, be ready. 8. We're all in this together....work friendly! 9. The first report is always wrong. 10. If you take care of people, they will take care of you. 11. Don't get too serious...have fun!!! 🇺🇸 #GoArmy #RIP #Army #Navy #veteran #Leadership #integrity #ethics #ArmyNavy
