You know your military programs are working when the business proactively reaches out to request military employment training for their leaders. Military employment program leaders: While you seek to create great hiring programs and wonderful experiences for your military connected candidates, do not lose sight of importance of internal consulting and nurturing relationships with those who are doing the hiring in your organization. Only by increasing their understanding of the value of military talent and how to leverage your programs to meet their business needs can you do anything at scale. Your stakeholders, leaders and influencers within the lines of business are your true (force) multipliers. Damu McCoy Bei Ling Kristy Williams Fercho Kevin Schmiegel Hiring Our Heroes 50strong

Creating a set of values for your organization will align who and are and who you want in your organization! The work doesn't stop at just creating them and knowing them! You have to apply your values and tell everyone in your organization about them! I spent a career in the US Army! We had to memorize our values during our basic level training and make sure we knew them throughout the time we served. All veterans do! #organizationalvalues #corevalues #companyculture #teamwork #collaboration #communication #leadership #integrity #accountability #transparency #diversityandinclusion #employeeengagement #workplacewellness #innovation #continuousimprovement #customerservice #socialresponsibility

Alright Veterans and Hiring Managers - I heard an all-too-familiar story I would love to hear you weigh in on. 👍🏼 Veteran: "I have significant leadership experience, coaching, training, and leading troops in combat and non-combat environments globally." 👎🏼 Hiring Manager: "Thank you for your service, but we're looking for more relevant leadership experience." I've got my own thoughts here, but how would you coach a transitioning veteran to translate their leadership experience into corporate language? Better still, how are YOU advocating for veterans in the workplace with hiring managers? How do we bridge the gap? #hireveterans

🌟 From the Battlefield to the Boardroom: The Power of Teamwork 🌟 When I served in the Marine Corps as an 0311 infantryman, commonly known as a Grunt, we prided ourselves on being the tip of the spear. We believed that without us, the mission couldn't be accomplished. But the reality? Our success depended on the incredible support from logistics, motor T, medical, and many others. 🏢 Corporate America is no different. Many departments feel like they are the driving force behind the business. While their contributions are significant, success is a collective effort. Each function, from marketing to HR, finance to operations, plays a crucial role. 💡 Here's a thought: Who is your closest "corporate ally" in your role? Who do you rely on to make magic happen every day? Drop a comment below and give a shoutout to those unsung heroes in your organization! Let's celebrate the power of teamwork and collaboration. 🚀🤝 #Teamwork #Leadership #Collaboration #MarineCorps #CorporateLife #BusinessSuccess #Nudge #NudgeAdvisors #Consulting Nitin Jain Deepa Patel Nicholas Peterson Nudge Advisors ---

Happy Friday everyone... It's that time of the week where we ask our supporters for help spreading the word.… Black Powder Search is a purpose-driven executive search firm that specializes in placing Special Operations veterans with degrees and business experience into leadership roles at small and medium-sized businesses across the nation. Our community not only places these veterans, but provides a community to help them thrive in their personal and professional lives. They’ve given everything for their country and they deserve to live in abundance, and we aim to make that happen. Special Operators have spent the last 20+ years not only surviving but thriving in some of the harshest conditions the world has to offer, and there’s no reason American businesses shouldn’t benefit from their skills, expertise, and unique perspectives. If you know a Special Operations veteran who has a degree and business experience and would benefit from joining our community, please tag them or share this with them. Likewise if you know of or work at a business that needs leadership talent, introduce us or reach out so we can help. Have a great weekend! #veteranshelpingveterans #veteranemployment #specialoperations #executivesearch #specialforces #navyseals #sof

This is the spirit that created America. Let US never take our Freedoms for granted. Too many arguing and too much division in our Nation. Divide to Conquer. Perfection doesn’t exist this side of Heaven friends. Division destroys and then what? If the USA is destroyed, what happens then? Who will rule? The US is extremely jacked up currently. By accident or design? A Russian leader is quoted as saying they would conquer America without firing a shot. They would destroy US from within. A generation later, how many of our leaders have COMMUNIST VIEWS? Government is NOT what made America an Empire. It was imperfect people who had dreams that had the ability to chase them. Where else has any Nation allowed entrepreneurs to have that kind of freedom? We are at the CROSSROADS. BANNA Republics fix elections, kill competition, have Dictators and MASSIVE CORRUPTION! Which Party in America isn’t on someones payroll? MANY politicians have millions of dollars and several mansions from a GOVERNMENT SALARY?? All parties, including Commrade Bernie. There are some sincere good people trying to fix things, but the SWAMP is extremely powerful, deep and dark. #spiritualness In the late 1960’s we had a spiritual shift. A spiritual darkness covered America. JFK, RFK, MLK wanted to fight the deep state and the status quo. I’m not taking a stance, just stating facts. What happened to ALL 3 of them? What media can we truly trust? People argue ‘facts’ that some actor who was handed a script reads on air. How many actually dig deeper to seek truth? #Operationmockingbird AMERICANS- Pray for our Nation. Do not take any political figure words as gospel. Listen and go seek for yourself. Ask yourself a question- If you were with 3 of your friends and a few men walked up to you in a parking lot with a box cutter and said give me you car keys, would you do it? Every Jumbo Jet has a Pilot, CoPilot and Navigator, not to include Attendants. 19 allegedly Saudi Arabians did just that with box cutters- result Dick Cheney did not go to Saudi, instead he attacked Iraq’s oil fields that Sadamm refused to sell to a certain Texas Company with a certain person who was the CEO. These same 19 people- learned to fly weeks prior in Piper Airplanes. From that they graduated to flying JUMBO JETS doing in some cases from Reagan International, a 45* decent crossing the equivalent of 3 football fields 20’ off the ground!!! PHYSICS does not allow a 747 JUMBO JET to do that. We will not get into where all the plane wreckage went. Wing spans, engines, luggage etc.. Wings on large aircraft are made to move, so they do not break off. They can go through a Stone Building? Um Educate yourself America and question what you are told by ACTORS READING SCRIPTS. MAIN POINT-WHO HANDS THEM THE SCRIPTS??? GOD BLESS AMERICA 🇺🇸. PEACE TO ALL MY VETERAN BROTHER AND SISTERS WHO STOOD ON A POST and GAVE SO MUCH TO SECURE EVERY AMERICANS FREEDOMS. WE MUST STAND TOGETHER OR DIVIDED WE FALL… soon!

After more than 20 years as a military aviator and nearly 13 years in corporate America, I've reached a key conclusion: The strength that drives the world-dominant US military—its mid-level, company-grade officers and NCOs—is precisely the weakness of many corporations. As a fighter pilot, I was trained, equipped, and empowered to make split-second, life-or-death decisions with a $50 million weapon strapped to my back. Then, as a manager in corporate America, things were much different. Having lived in both worlds, I know that the lessons of military team leadership can be applied to creating high-performance teams in the corporate environment. I know because I did it, having led the team that won the $3 Billion US Special Operations Command Armed Overwatch Program. We did things differently…and we WON. Today, I'm proud to announce the launch of Total Engagement Leadership, which is dedicated to transforming managers, professionals, and founders into high-performance team leaders. By building strong teams, we lay the foundation for world-class—and even world-dominant—business organizations. It’s my mission to strengthen the critical middle layer of our business organizations, and it’s essential that we do so in this new era of all-domain global competition. My ask of you today: Connect with me, share in this journey, and let's build Total Engagement Leaders together.
