Lead with GRIT.
RESILIENCE. COMPASSION.
and PREPAREDNESS.
There are four pillars that set a foundation for success in everything you do, as an individual or as a team. Grit, Resilience, Compassion and Preparedness. Develop yourself and your teams by building a solid foundation first!
LOVED LEADERS
Lead Best!
Being a loved leader is not a sign of weakness, it projects authenticity, trustworthiness, and sometimes vulnerability. Becoming a loved leader who knows their people’s needs, shows honesty and integrity, and keeps the team moving onward and upward!
KNOCK DOWN
The First
Domino!
To be an effective leader in the long term, you HAVE TO TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF FIRST! If you’re not taking care of yourself, you won’t be ABLE to take care of the team. And this all starts with one “domino.” Decide what that domino is.

Jon is one of the most driven people I have ever met. As a SEAL/Naval Officer, he is detail-oriented, hard-working, and deeply committed. He is incredibly selfless. His care and passion for helping others succeed are amazing. When you meet Jon for the first time, he makes you feel like you’ve known each other for ages. When he sets his mind to something, watch out! He’ll under-promise and over-deliver on everything he sets out to do!
