As I begin a new chapter in my own story, and as we all step into a new year, I am filled with gratitude for all those who have guided and inspired me along the way. I am forever in your debt, and always at your service!

To have been able to add a few lines to the chronicle of one of our nation’s most storied innovators is something I will treasure always.

Last week, after 33 years in the aerospace industry, I retired from Lockheed Martin. It has been the honor of my career to have served alongside so many amazing people. People dedicated to our customers, to our mission, and to pushing back the frontier of the known world.

@sorkinese As we lean into 2021 I'm feeling: "There's really no end to what we can do. Know what the trick is? Get in the game"

@MiamiOHPres @miamiuniversity One of the great joys of my career has been to come alongside these amazing young people and be a part of their journey. This article speaks to the role of leaders in generating hope, and they have done that in me. Thanks to @miamiOHPres and @leaderlouise for making it possible!

@rachel_duke22 @MUEngLdrInst Great point, Rachel! I learned the hard way to always ask myself what is “the point” of my talk. The ultimate test for me is always when my 16-year-old asks, “what’s your talk about, dad?” If I can’t answer that to his satisfaction, I go back to the drawing board:).

The public speaking workshop in class today @MUEngLdrInst taught me the importance of having a hook to gain your audience's attention. #CHANGEminded

@rgruenberg2 @KarenMoss28 @MUEngLdrInst Great observations Rebecca! One thing I tell speakers (and often remind myself) is it is pretty much impossible to speak too slowly when giving a talk. Another is to never fear silence - a pause can be the most powerful way to communicate!

@LeaderLouise @MUEngLdrInst Thanks for posting Louise - 100% agree. I’ve seen no correlation between gpa and ability to succeed and contribute in the workplace.

Thanks to @wilcoxjeff for talking to the cohorts today. His presentation on embracing change has given me a lot to think about. By the way, I thought the circle diagrams were very helpful! #CHANGEminded @MUEngLdrInst

@KatieBueltel Outstanding Katie! I gave a talk once at MU based on a quote from the same episode: “What is it you’re afraid of Jed?”

I love this quote from The West Wing: "... if you don't run because you think it's gonna be too hard or you think you're gonna lose, well God Jed, I don't even want to know you " ~ Mrs. Landingham. It's not directly a leadership quote, but I find it inspirational #MUEngLdrInst
