Bittersweet Goodbyes: What My Last Sermon Taught Me About Leadership Yesterday, I delivered my final sermon in a military chapel. Just as I thought I was closing this chapter on a high note, the stakes started rising, and my smooth transition into civilian life suddenly felt uncertain. Yes, I delivered a heartfelt final sermon that resonated deeply with everyone present. But, just when I thought I could ride that emotional wave into retirement bliss, I realized the weight of leaving the military family behind was heavy. No, I wasn't physically knocked out, but emotionally, I felt a blow. And then Chaplain (LTC) Dicks, my replacement, stepped in with a surprise—he presented me with a drawing he did of yours truly. This wasn't just a sketch; it was a reminder of the bonds and connections that make leaving tough. Receiving this highlighted the deep connections I'll leave behind. Now, facing the unknown of civilian life feels like stepping into a boxing ring again. I question whether I can replicate these meaningful connections in civilian life - This is where the real challenge begins. Here's what this experience taught me: - Genuine recognition comes in small gestures. - Leading involves personal connections. - Embrace change with gratitude and excitement. - Cherish uplifting moments to inspire others. As I gear up for the next chapter, I’m carrying these lessons with me, fueled by the amazing chaplains I've had the pleasure of working alongside. But the real question remains—can I replicate the meaningful connections of military life in the civilian world? That’s a story still being written. What challenges have you faced in your own transitions, and how did you overcome them? Let’s share our experiences and support each other on this journey.

Good succession planning in action.
Jerod Mayo spent his entire playing career with the Patriots, became an All-Pro LB, and won a Super Bowl. Since, he’s spent his entire coaching career in New England, learning under Bill Belichick. Mayo just became the first Black head coach in Patriots history — and the youngest head coach in the NFL. gofos.co/3HnDuvX

Arguments x Leadership Over the weekend, I had the distinct honor of swearing in Gaither Keener as the Department of North Carolina’s Judge Advocate. I think it’s important I share, here, what I shared to our membership. Since my first meeting in The American Legion, Gaither has been my mentor. For the first four years, I think that was a relatively easy role. Over the past 12 months, though, I don’t doubt I have been a significant thorn in his side. I have used my platform to share my mind and fight for the change I believe our members deserve. And while I think it’s been largely appreciated, my Department (State) has received substantial backlash as a result of my comments. It would have been easy to excommunicate me from the Department. When National requested I resign my appointments, it would’ve been simple to pull my appointments at the State level, as well. Heck, I think most of the powers-that-be requested that. But Gaither didn’t take the easy route. He kept me in my positions at the state level. When I announced my candidacy for District Commander, he supported me. And when it came time to swear him in, he asked me to do it. We don’t always see eye to eye. We’ve brawled on different issues. And sometimes we have to agree to disagree. But with all that said, we respect one another, because we both realize we care for the Legionnaires, above all the politics. That’s a leader. Semper Fidelis. _____________ 📸: shoes are Sam Edelman #marinecorps #semperfi #veteransstrengtheningamerica #betheone #ncd3 #nc #veteransaffairs

https://lnkd.in/evr2Y8g3 The website has over 400 views in the last 10 days! What does that mean to me? Nathan Wheeler “A dream written down with a date becomes a goal. A goal broken down into steps becomes a plan. A plan backed by action makes your dreams come true.” -G Reid I have never not been thankful for the leadership skills and mentorship I received while in the military. And although my military career is coming to an end there are a few things I’ve come to realize and also remember… 1) Stay humble. 2) Know your worth, even if others didn’t. 3) Continue to grow, both personally and professionally. 4) You will be required to sacrifice, in some capacity. Reference bullet #1. 5) It’s ok to say no! Brought up on a sense of “we don’t say no”, sometimes it’s ok, and it may require your courage in the essence of success.
