  • SELF-LEADERSHIP – 10 THINGS THE U.S. ARMY TAUGHT ME ABOUT PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT

    SELF-LEADERSHIP – 10 THINGS THE U.S. ARMY TAUGHT ME ABOUT PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT
    Nov 12 2024

    Welcome to Episode 291 of the Walking Leader Podcast with your host David G. Guerra.

    In this episode of the WALKING LEADER podcast and in honor of Veterans Day 2024, I take a page out of my life as a US Army Infantryman (MOS 11B) and share with you the 10 Things The U.S. Army Taught Me About Professional Development.

    In this episode, I also share the 10 Things The U.S. Army Taught Me About Professional Development and how it still applies today.

    The 10 Things The U.S. Army Taught Me About Professional Development are:

    1. Nothing is going to be handed to you.
    2. To move up, you have to take the necessary steps to do so.
    3. Get yourself a mentor.
    4. Volunteer and Prepare to be Voluntold
    5. Accept that the path you are on today might not be the path you will end up on.
    6. People will pull you down
    7. People will pull you up
    8. Sometimes your personal mission and the mission of the military DO NOT ALWAYS ALIGN.
    9. Leadership is NOT automatic.
    10. About Retention: Trust Your Gut / Do It For Yourself

    REMEMBER TO KEEP GOING BEYOND THE GRIND & KEEP GOING BEYOND THE HUSTLE BECAUSE THAT IS THE ONLY WAY TO BE THE WALKING LEADER.

    AND TO BE A LEADER WITHOUT EQUAL YOU MUST BREAK FROM THE CROWD!

    I invite you to take about 25 minutes and listen to the Episode 291 of the Walking Leader Podcast. Enjoy!

  • SELF-LEADERSHIP - WORKPLACE ETIQUETTE

    SELF-LEADERSHIP - WORKPLACE ETIQUETTE
    Oct 14 2024
    Welcome to Episode 289 of the Walking Leader Podcast with your host David G. Guerra.
    In this episode, I share with you an article, from the Business Training Media website: “12 Effective Ways to Improve Your Workplace Communication Skills”. This article serves as a great opportunity to revisit the basics. Check which of the basics need a little extra attention and which need a complete overhaul.

    All of us, present and future leaders stand to benefit from periodically re-visiting the basics. It is what makes leaders better in that they know that they can never truly master any workplace skills but through honing these skills they can achieve near mastery.

    Additionally, it is expected of leaders to show others that it is perfectly acceptable to occasionally pause, reflect, adjust course, and then get back on track.

    As a leader, it is your responsibility to keep yourself sharp and ready. It is also your responsibility to encourage others to make the time to periodically check themselves.

    REMEMBER TO KEEP GOING BEYOND THE GRIND & KEEP GOING BEYOND THE HUSTLE BECAUSE THAT IS THE ONLY WAY TO BE THE WALKING LEADER.

    AND TO BE A LEADER WITHOUT EQUAL YOU MUST BREAK FROM THE CROWD!

    I invite you to take about 15 minutes and listen to the Episode 289 of the Walking Leader Podcast. Enjoy!

  • SELF-LEADERSHIP - PERSONAL ETIQUETTE - POLITICAL CONVERSATIONS

    SELF-LEADERSHIP - PERSONAL ETIQUETTE - POLITICAL CONVERSATIONS
    Oct 4 2024

    Welcome to Episode 288 of the Walking Leader Podcast with your host David G. Guerra.
    In episode 288, David shares with you a great OP/ED article, from the Belleville News Democrat, that is quite appropriate for the times we are living in. As we are in election season, almost all conversations will turn to the upcoming elections and who will you be voting for.

    If you would rather keep your Political Opinions to yourself but those around you just cannot help themselves there are options you can take to help remedy the discourse that is sure to follow.

    The ability to not fall into the trap of a conversation rooted in Politics, Religion, and/or Medicine is one of those that you will learn over time. However, by setting the standard early, those around you might just avoid creating situations that could potentially harm or strain any relationship (personal or professional).

    As a leader, it is your responsibility to keep these kind of conversations in check it key to your success as the leader. Learn to identify and deal with these “no-win” conversations.

    THUS, KEEP GOING BEYOND THE GRIND & KEEP GOING BEYOND THE HUSTLE BECAUSE THAT IS THE ONLY WAY TO BE THE WALKING LEADER AND A LEADER THAT IS GREAT TO FOLLOW.

    TO BE THE LEADER AND TO BE WITHOUT EQUAL YOU MUST BREAK FROM THE CROWD!.

    I invite you to take about 14 minutes and listen to the Episode 288 of the Walking Leader Podcast. Enjoy!
