Go forward: Self Awareness

An incredible discussion with Otis W. McGregor III, CPD, CPC LTC, Special Forces, US Army, RetiredMy passion lies in helping people succeed. I’ve used this passion as fuel through years in the Army Special Operations and coaching rugby. It now drives me to create better leaders. I believe better leaders create better organizations, better organizations create better communities, and better communities will create a better world. I retired from the US Army in 2009 as a Green Beret Lieutenant Colonel following 25 years of service. While in the Army, I had a broad range of experience, from driving tanks five years older than me; to an engineer in the Arctic, running heavy equipment in the most extreme arctic conditions, to leading Green Berets on complex and dangerous missions around the world. I also had the unique experience of being part of new organizations and creating these new units into cohesive, effective organizations. This experience ranged from arctic conditions in Alaska to counter-terrorism units in Iraq and Afghanistan to NATO Special Operations Headquarters. Being part of these organizationsfrom the ground up has given me immense experience in creating successful organizations.
