In this episode, Jessica names the pattern she sees constantly in her counseling sessions:

• Sailors who advance in rank before advancing in identity.
• The tab. The pay. The title. All real. All earned.
• And none of it enough — without the identity shift to back it up.

What you’ll hear:

• Why the BBA system accelerates advancement but not growth

• The difference between a packed eval and documented impact

• Why FCPOA is the most wasted leadership platform in the Navy

• The three identity shifts every advancing Sailor must make

• The ego trap that stops good Sailors from becoming great leaders

• Three questions you need to be able to answer right now

The CultureKeeper Challenge: Write down your answers to all three questions from this episode. On paper. Not in your head.
