Sunday morning professional development with BOOM! Got my hard copy of BOOM! written by John Teichert, Brigadier General (ret). Diving in this morning for a bit of leadership prep for the week. Looking forward to the pages and days ahead of me on this journey. #BreakBarriers #ChallengeConvention #IgniteInnovation

NOLS was foundational to my personal and professional development. Doing a course like this is great for anyone in #transition. Whether it's high school to college, college to life, post-military to the civilian world, or a mid-career professional looking for a change of pace. The skills I learned at NOLS have provided impact across industries and disciplines. They also offer professional development courses, that I guarantee will ensure your employees come back with the applicable soft skills that will pay for itself for years to come. These guys know leader development, training, and experiential education. 10/10 highly recommend. #ExperientialEducation #training #opportunity

The analogy of eagles soaring at heights other birds cannot reach speaks volumes in the context of ambition and success. When you’re deeply committed to your goals, finding peers who match your level of dedication can be challenging. Many may not comprehend your journey; your aspirations and achievements might even seem like boasting to them. However, when you do encounter someone on the same trajectory, the connection is powerful. Together, you can achieve even more, flying in formation towards shared objectives. Keep your sights set high, always searching for fellow eagles, and avoid descending to a lower altitude of ambition. #Leadership #Ambition #Networking #PRIMUSAERO #antiprokrastinator

If it was easy, if it didn't have the capability of breaking my heart, if it was predictable, it wouldn't be special. Boston is different from other races - the rolling hills throughout the course mean your legs are trashed before the halfway point and it is a constant gut check the rest of the way. When it's HOT like it was yesterday, it adds new challenges. I was more than 20 minutes off of my personal best at the finish, but somehow my head and heart propelled me to another Boston qualifying time when my legs could no longer turn over. I have not hacked Boston yet. But I'm sure I will be back again next year to try to unlock more of the mysteries between Hopkinton and Boylston Street. Because that's what we do, right? We fall and we get up and we try again, and we improve our process, and we try again, and we improve our process, and we try again -- because a delay of a perfect performance is not a denial that it is possible. Onward 💪🏽🦄 #mindset #peakperformance #whatinspiresme #thisis45 #bostonmarathon #leadership

Sports provide valuable lessons for leadership & life!

Day 81: In the world of golf, the story of a player like Jordan Spieth offers compelling lessons on patience and trust, crucial traits for both the fairways and leadership. Spieth's journey, particularly his performance at the 2015 Masters where he won his first major, highlights how patience and trusting one's skills and preparation can lead to significant achievements. Throughout the tournament, Spieth demonstrated exceptional patience, carefully navigating each hole and making strategic decisions that kept him ahead of the competition. His ability to trust in his training and instincts, especially under pressure, not only led to victory but also exemplified leadership qualities that resonate beyond golf. This story teaches us that whether in golf, business, or personal endeavors, the combination of patience and trust is vital. Patience allows us to endure challenges without making hasty decisions, and trust in ourselves and our team empowers us to execute plans confidently, even when the stakes are high. #LeadershipLessons #PatienceAndTrust #GolfAsMetaphor #Day81of100

Virtual Team Flight Assessment was a success yesterday with Sheldon HS girls basketball team a the east from Sacramento, CA! Big shout out to Coach Tabytha Wampler for making this happen & see the value in it for her young athlete leaders! The Flight Assessment helps individuals & teams identify their strengths, gifts, and talents. It also helps you become aware of the limitations those strengths may also bring. If you want to WIN, the first scouting report you need to master is YOUR OWN! LET’S GOOOOOO!! #discassessment #personalitystyles #personalitytypes

Happy Wednesday! Just like Tiger Woods' precise starts in golf, how we begin our professional endeavors truly matters. This concept has inspired me to approach my career moves more intentionally and clearly. Whether it's personal growth or professional development, our initial steps can set the tone for our journey ahead. #Leadership #CareerDevelopment #StrategicThinking
