Daily Deliberation: 1 February 2020
Ironically, I have connected with my team on a deeper level once I learned to admit I was wrong. Although I have grown in many areas and have many talents, I still make more missteps than I care to admit. However, each time I do, I try to learn from them. Most of the time,…

I remember seeing an Airman about to break a safety rule. He was clearly caught up in the moment and forgot to grab his PPE and I am willing to bet it was not intentional. So, I reminded him to go grab the PPE. It was for his own safety and it was to help…

Different people look at things that happen to them in different ways. For example, when some people are about to go on stage in front of a 1,000 people they feel butterflies in their stomachs.

There are many versions of this idea out there. 28 days to create a habit, 14 days, etc. Bottom line is that if we are willing to make something a part of our routine for an extended period of time, it is likely to become a habit. Look at things you do everyday and decide…

Daily Deliberation: 11 January 2020
How many times have we fought or stalled waiting for some organizational policy to change?

I have never seen this as a successful strategy for myself or others.…
