During the last ten years of his military training or his military career, he trained and deployed alongside Navy Seals Teams. Where he performed a highly technical role in conducting combat operations and serving next to some of the most elite people on the planet. Also in some of the most hostile environments imaginable.

Looking for the positive in your employees and celebrating it.
Key Takeaways:
Realize that your people are your most important resource.
