In this month’s post, I thought I would just touch on a few pointers about listening/ communication from my monthly Leadership topic discussion. — The following may seem obvious, but here were a few recommendations offered in the session: 1: Have something worth saying. You’re considering saying something. You want to communicate it, but wait!Continue reading “June 2022: Listening and Communication”

May 2022: Everything Everywhere All At Once
This month, I had the distinct pleasure of watching the topic movie, Everything Everywhere All At Once …and it was an incredible cinematic experience. The movie is rated R, but besides that fact, I think I would encourage anyone within the appropriate audience demographic to watch it. I’ll do my best to avoid spoilers asContinue reading “May 2022: Everything Everywhere All At Once”
April 2022: A Reflection
A Reflection I ended up getting way off schedule with my writing over the past month or so. Instead of trying to write this month’s post on my intended topic – which I actually do have quite a bit of stuff to think about before writing that – I think I’d rather cover some thoughtsContinue reading “April 2022: A Reflection”
March 2022: Habit Building
Here we are at the end of another month. I had my 31st birthday this March, reminding me of so many different things: I’ve been a legal adult for so long. I’m just a few years short of having been an adult longer than I’ve been a child, regardless of how I feel about myContinue reading “March 2022: Habit Building”
February 2022: Self-Awareness
Back at it again, I come to you with my second post of this year 2022. I’m not sure if this comes later as a matter of tiredness from other activities or the need to summon whatever mixture of discipline and motivation to push through this month’s writing – or maybe it’s a desire toContinue reading “February 2022: Self-Awareness”
Social – Beyond the Flight
In this post, I just want to touch on my social experience at the Squadron and Wing levels. Quite frankly, that was “very little.” I believe that over the course of the 5.5 weeks spent at Maxwell AFB, I only intentionally took the time to interact with officers outside of my flight maybe twice. OnceContinue reading “Social – Beyond the Flight”
Social – Flight
This post will be less structured, more free-form/ flow of consciousness. The flight is essentially the classroom-filling unit at SOS, so for those unfamiliar that might happen across this post, you can simply consider the term “flight” as a typical classroom cohort or team. Flight C-41 consisted of 13 individuals, all but one of whomContinue reading “Social – Flight”
Academia – Design
In this post, I’ll comment on the Design block of our SOS academia. Keep in mind, too – the lessons in SOS are meant to flow into each other; even though the main topic has shifted from Leadership to Design, the concepts and tools introduced/ revisited from the previous academic block are still valuable –Continue reading “Academia – Design”
January 2022: Semantics
Settling into 2022… We’ve made our regular transition from last year to new year! Hopefully it’s treating you fairly well despite everything going on. I know my year has kicked off oddly but I wouldn’t describe that “oddly” with any negativity. It could always be a bit better, but it could easily be way, wayContinue reading “January 2022: Semantics”
Academia – Leadership, Part 2
In this post, I’ll continue to comment on some of the different lessons we covered during the Leadership block of our academia. In case you somehow missed it, here’s a link to Part 1 of this topic. I already covered the first six items on this list, so this post will round out the lastContinue reading “Academia – Leadership, Part 2”
