It can take time to settle into each niche career field necessary to keep the U.S. Air Force a well-oiled machine. A key part of this machine is air traffic control.

Transitioning from military service to the civilian world can be a daunting prospect. Often, we get so caught up in the minutiae of our past that make it difficult to envision a future outside the military. Think less about: - The rigid structure and hierarchy - The survival and combat skills - The specific military jargon and acronyms - The past deployment experiences Think more about: - The leadership and management skills you've developed - The work ethic and discipline you've demonstrated - The importance of teamwork and camaraderie - The problem-solving capabilities you've honed Your military service has equipped you with valuable skills that are transferable to the civilian workplace. The key is to translate these skills into language that civilian employers understand and value. Remember, you’re not just a former soldier, sailor, airman, or Marine. You're a proven leader, a team player, and a problem solver. How are you translating your military skills to your civilian career? #MilitaryTransition #CareerTransition #Leadership #VeteransInBusiness

"Glad to be here." If you've seen the newly released Blue Angels documentary, you may have picked up on this utterance in between the phenomenal aerial sequences. At any time there are seven US Navy (and United States Marine Corps) aviators that make up the Flight Demonstration Squadron, out of more than 7,000 current naval aircrew. Fewer than 300 pilots have ever served in The Blues, far less than the number of aviators that have graduated TOPGUN. The Blue Angels are special, but the 158 active duty sailors and marines that constitute the team don't view themselves as that. They are a part of something greater, and extraordinarily grateful to be a part of that special team each and every day. The Blue Angels’ greeting, motto, mindset, and ethos is fundamentally "Glad to be here." The phrase is deeply embedded in their high-performance culture, and the attached document by former Blue Angels lead solo pilot John Foley illustrates the power of those four words, for The Blues, and others who seek perfection as a team. If I’m having a bad day at work, or if I ever view myself as being more important than the team and organisation, “Glad to be here” is a grounding statement. #pilottraining #blueangels #aviation #usnavy #navalaviation #teamwork

Glad to be here® isn’t just a phrase—it’s a mindset that powers the elite Blue Angels, as highlighted in their new documentary. This spirit of gratitude and excellence is what we champion at John Foley Inc. 👉 Dive into the full post to explore how this simple statement can transform challenges into triumphs. #BlueAngels #Leadership #Teamwork #GladToBeHere

"Glad to be here"! Thank you, John Foley, for sharing your insights and clearly explaining the importance of this mindset and the relevance of the Diamond Performance Framework to high-performing teams. Thank you Alexander Robinson for sharing! Here are few quotes that resonated with me: Closing the Gap • “Sustained success requires constant improvement.” 🔄 The Brief—Focused Preparation • “In the real world, nobody is telepathic or psychic. If you want people to understand what you’re trying to accomplish, you have to explain it—in detail.” 🧠 • “The brief contains the relevant details that people need before they get started.” 📋 Contracts—Disciplined Execution • “Execution through trust” 🤝 The Debrief—Celebrate Your Victories • “The debrief is an inward look for an outward result.” 🔍➡️🌟 • “The key to the debrief is total honesty.” 🗝️🗣️ • “It is the most important facet of the Diamond Performance Framework and should be embedded firmly in your organization’s culture.” 💎 • “You cannot improve your performance unless you are totally honest about what you did right—and what you did wrong.” 📈📉 The Drive for Continuous Improvement • “With training and practice, I kept getting better—and so can you!” 🚀 The Yellow Helmet • “A culture of excellence doesn’t exchange one set of skills and values for another—it builds on those skills and values, raising them to a higher level.” ⛑️🌟 Read more below 👇 hashtag #highperformance #teamdynamics #GladToBeHere #leadership
