Arguments x Leadership Over the weekend, I had the distinct honor of swearing in Gaither Keener as the Department of North Carolina’s Judge Advocate. I think it’s important I share, here, what I shared to our membership. Since my first meeting in The American Legion, Gaither has been my mentor. For the first four years, I think that was a relatively easy role. Over the past 12 months, though, I don’t doubt I have been a significant thorn in his side. I have used my platform to share my mind and fight for the change I believe our members deserve. And while I think it’s been largely appreciated, my Department (State) has received substantial backlash as a result of my comments. It would have been easy to excommunicate me from the Department. When National requested I resign my appointments, it would’ve been simple to pull my appointments at the State level, as well. Heck, I think most of the powers-that-be requested that. But Gaither didn’t take the easy route. He kept me in my positions at the state level. When I announced my candidacy for District Commander, he supported me. And when it came time to swear him in, he asked me to do it. We don’t always see eye to eye. We’ve brawled on different issues. And sometimes we have to agree to disagree. But with all that said, we respect one another, because we both realize we care for the Legionnaires, above all the politics. That’s a leader. Semper Fidelis. _____________ 📸: shoes are Sam Edelman #marinecorps #semperfi #veteransstrengtheningamerica #betheone #ncd3 #nc #veteransaffairs

The Midnight aircraft is a sight to behold. Soon, it will be a common sight in the sky, linking cities and communities in ways we can only imagine today. The outstanding partnership between Archer Aviation and the United States Department of Defense (DOD) is vital so that the United States leads the world in the future of Advanced Aerial Mobility (AAM). As one of the most important transportation revolutions in history, our nation's combination of innovation and smart public policy will ensure that America writes the rules of the road for the future of flight...even though where we're going, we don't need roads. This adds to the recent Space Act Agreement, signed in January between Archer and NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration; they will work together to accelerate the development of battery cells and safety of AAM, as well as further space applications. My colleagues who serve with me on the DOD's Defense Business Board know that this fast-emerging global market for AAM, as well as the future of global supply chains and sustainability, depends upon this collaborative partnership between the public sector and our leading aerospace companies. #Archer #DepartmentOfDefense #MidnightAircraft

Many times I hear, "Thank You, #greatpresentation," after my #keynotespeech or #workshopfacilitation. What's really nice is when a person sends you a thank you note out of the blue many days later. This is a note I received from a participant in my #leadershiptraining and #leadershipworkshop with Navy Federal Credit Union. What's significant, is that this was NFCU's #learninganddevelopment group. Pretty cool feedback, but especially from professionals who do what I do. Thank you for the note Keonna Reinholz! https://lnkd.in/eedYxNGd https://lnkd.in/eNHPH5nu Executive Speakers Bureau Abby Heerdt Tracy C.

Fact not fiction
Not only do they emphasize how qualified Kamala Harris is to be a strong Commander in Chief, but they also make it clear how completely unqualified Donald Trump is, pointing out his "scary authoritarian streak." READ MORE: https://lnkd.in/gKzdA_HQ

There are so many inspiring moments for our first official full day. Here is a small sampling: 1) Reconnecting in person with my dear friend of 30 years, Lt. Col Kady Griffin. She was my nominator for NSS and our guide while here. 2) Meeting and getting to know the International Fellows from our group, especially Biljana from Macedonia, and planning a visit once she returns home. 3) Evolving discussions in our seminar group of community leaders, all of whom bring such insight. I'm learning so much from each of them. 4) Eye-opening keynote from David Norquist (former US Deputy Secretary of Defense)
