    The Space We Take

    Join us for a transformative journey at the inaugural Women Veterans and Military-Connected Students RISE Conference, hosted by the Pat Tillman Veterans Center in partnership with ASU Career Services. This pivotal event celebrates the resilience, independence, strength, and empowerment of women connected to the military, offering a space of support and solidarity for those who have served and their allies. In this video, I am thrilled to share the highlights from my presentation, "The Space We Take: Crafting Identities Beyond the Boundaries of Yesterday." As a veteran spouse, I delve into the personal and profound narratives that shape our community. Through my talk, I explore the dynamic process of identity reformation that many military spouses and connected individuals undergo, highlighting the powerful ways we can all contribute to a culture of empowerment and self-renewal. Watch as we uncover stories of courage and transformation, and learn how we can all participate in fostering a more inclusive and supportive environment for women in the military community. Don't forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more content that celebrates and supports our military-connected women. Together, let's rise and thrive! #WomenRISE #ASU #MilitaryConnected #Empowerment #Veterans

    Why We Do It

    We frequently navigate the realm of leadership by examining the actions we undertake and the methodologies we employ. However, in this episode, graced by the esteemed presence of veteran and devoted husband, Jack Blair, we embark on an introspective journey to uncover the "why" behind leadership. This exploration seeks to delve into the core motivations that drive individuals to lead, offering a profound understanding of the essence of leadership Questions to ask your team: 1. At what point in your career did you realize, hey, I'm a leader? 2. What work experiences have impacted the way you lead? 3. What qualities do you value in a leader? 4. Who's a leader that inspires you? 5. What do they do that sets them apart?

    Make the World as Rich as Possible

    I've been reading the novel, "The Half-Known Life," by Pico Iyer, which chronicles one travel journalist's non-linear exploration of paradise - internally/externally and individually/collectively. The author searches for transformation but never quite reaches the summit of a single, universal truth. Reflecting on Iyer's gentle unfolding of the narrative, where no single moment of epiphany starkly presents itself, one realizes the profound beauty in the journey itself. It becomes clear that the essence of our existence is not dictated by the clarity of answers found but rather by how we navigate the vast expanse of the unknown, weaving it into the fabric of our lives with every step we take. When leading teams in moments of organizational change, new frontiers, or transition, navigating uncertainty with an eye toward the future is essential. Remind team members that you can make decisions today that serve your organization's and team's present needs and that it's important to hold space for growth and surprises. The search for transformation can serve to protect and nurture the present while not collapsing against the need for a single, universal truth. In the closing lines of "The Half-Known Life" by Pico Iyer, the invitation to "make the world as rich as possible" resonates deeply, suggesting that our aspirations and vulnerabilities are intricately connected. This insight is especially poignant as we navigate the shifting landscapes of our professional environments. It reminds us that, amid organizational transformations and transitions, our approach to the unknown—our readiness to intertwine it with the tapestry of our experiences—shapes our journey and the richness of the world around us. As you ponder the dynamics of your professional space this week, delve into today's "From the Library of Jennie Blair" for actionable insights and discover your own "bloom points." How can you make your team as rich as possible? The Half-Known Life: Pico Iyer https://amzn.to/3TERIQc
