Ep. 00 Whatever it TAKES! with Brian Bowers (May 2020)

Ep. 00 Whatever it TAKES! with Brian Bowers (May 2020)

This is a carry over from another platform, from a podcast and Facebook live, I did with my good friend Brian Bowers back in May of 2020.

Yes, I left in all of the chat before we were “live” because he is my brother and I love him and our conversation. Brian left us about 24 hours ago; I will deeply miss my brother, "Chief Big Deal" but know he is smiling down on us now! He taught us all so much about life and how to LIVE it the right way.

I will miss you big bro, Till Valhalla!

Ep. 54: Caleb and Darryl talk about the “3 Dimensions of Inclusion”

Ep. 54: Caleb and Darryl talk about the “3 Dimensions of Inclusion”

Caleb and Darryl talk about the “3 Dimensions of Inclusion” and how to have meaningful conversations: I am also a trained D, E, & I facilitator and teach teams how to have conversation around polarizing topics in a safe and inclusion way. "Meaningful Conversations" takes approx. 2hrs with a break in between hours. It opens with an opportunity for participates to self-reflect on how they truly feel on some current/polarizing topics. We then roll into implicit bias(unconscious bias) and how that effects our daily conversations/interactions. We also discuss vulnerability, empathy, and conduct a trust word exercise with the team to determine what we require for trust. We discuss my 3 dimensions of Inclusion, and this all leads to us breaking into small groups to practice what we've learned so folks know how to set up meaningful small group discussions within their own work centers. I currently facilitate these for all of the Maxwell AFB NCO PES events, Gunter NCO Academy, and I am permanently apart of the Air Force Enlisted PME instructor course, because the team there understands that these topics come up in the classrooms and instructors don't need to shy away from them at all, because the Airmen want to talk. 1. You have to be honest with You 2. You have to understand You 3. We have to be vulnerable, it’s not a weakness 4. Empathy has to grow into Compassion 5. Trust, whatever you require in order to trust someone, You have to give that to folks as well Do you want (because you definitely Need it) Darryl to hold a meaningful conversation with your team?

Ep. 43: The Clock IS Ticking!

Wow, what an honor to chat with a great friend, man, husband, father, Airman and leader! ‼️Do you want to hear a real live legend?!?‼️Listen in and you will be blessed, inspired and truly motivated by John Eunice (USAF, Col ret). He is a legit leader and a true legend 💯💯!! You don’t want to miss this conversation! In this episode of Real Talk, we listened as John talked about the “Clock is Ticking” and what it takes to get through the really tough times. John walks us through his life story, which includes the loss of his son James. I cannot even imagine the pain and anguish that John, Tammy and the rest of the Eunice family have and are dealing with. We know that this was difficult for John to relive as he told us, but we were incredibly inspired by his courage, as he hopes to pass on his son’s legacy. A legacy of faith and love! Details are: James Eunice is the 17 year old son of John and Tammy Eunice, the youngest of their three children. James went missing while duck hunting the morning of January 15, 2011, and was recovered the morning of January 31, 2011 by PJs and CROs from the 38th Rescue Squadron and a canine team from Nassau County, Florida. He left a legacy of faith and love. The James Eunice Charity Fund has donated over $550,000 to the local community, including over 570 scholarships to graduating seniors from over 30 schools. John and Tammy share James' story and their journey with schools, churches and civic organizations. You can find out more about James at www.jameseunice23.com/ Visit us at www.legendaryleaders.info or on Facebook @ www.facebook.com/groups/leaders2legends/?ref=share
