The “Colonel’s” VFV Motivational/Inspirational Quotes & Message of the Day and Week!
Let’s “Remember Everyone Deployed” today and every day until they return home safely once again!
Good “R.E.D. Friday!” Morning “Band of Brothers & Sisters,” and all great connections. Welcome to the end of another week from the “Colonel’s Foxhole” in The Woodlands, TX — 13 May 2022!
Today’s Message is: “Storytelling Day!” Why Not?
“All leaders have a story to tell. Creating an authentic, compelling, and trustworthy narrative can be vital for any leader’s success. The strategic leader’s story can inspire others by providing real life facts, consequences, and lessons learned. Putting a vision and organizational mission into a story makes it more memorable and gets people on board for the road ahead. If told correctly and with passion a good storyteller will build an image of the journey ahead and why it matters.” — COL (Ret) Mikel Burroughs
