Supporting U.S. Army Enlisted Soldiers and NCO Leaders with promotion updates, training, news and events within the Army ecosystem.
Developing NCO's when your leader's can't or won't.
This extraordinary podcast is for ordinary people. There is no limit to the topics of the day. This podcast will focus on leadership development models, of all kinds. There are so many issues weighing down in this world. How do you cope with those day to day stressors? We will talk depression, anxiety, PTSD, financial issues, sleep issues, and more. On the other side, we will discuss how to win in those situations, and show you how to remain positive in a negative environment.
On this episode we will discuss the sacrifices made by military service members. They may or may not realize how much they will end up sacrificing. Families, time, health, and event team mates.
