This week on “The Conversation Network”, in my continuing excitement of my favorite movie from 2022, Top Gun: Maverick, I do a deep dive into an article I found written by Simon Lovell called “Want To Be Leader Like Tom Cruise? 4 Supersonic Leadership Lessons from Top Gun: Maverick”. The article listed four themes from the film that encompassed ideas and thoughts about how to lead teams towards success while finding a balance between work and play, letting go of the past, and discovering the impossible when you in the words of Mav himself “Don’t think, just do!”
I step out of the box a bit and give my perspectives on the article not from a leadership angle, but more from a navigating life in general viewpoint. This one’s kind of deep folks, but I’m excited for you to hear it. I share some raw and honest thoughts about my time in the military (particularly my separation) and how I’m still on the journey of finding out what’s possible in my life through learning new skills and trusting what my capabilities are. This conversation was somewhat therapeutic for me, and I’m glad to continue having this platform to share my thoughts with you.
