Big thanks to Colleen Deere for joining us to share how mentorship can help Military Spouses reach their full potential.

Colleen offers some great advice for Military Spouses:

-Ask for help
-When meeting with a mentor: Identify three things you want out of the relationship...network, resume, where to be in 5 years, etc..

Love her Super Power: She can spot a grammatical error immediately (my mom as a former teacher loves this one)

Heads Up: ACP is hosting a great event on 15 May: Women Leadership event with three executives from General Motors. Free to participate

If you are a mentor, military spouse looking for a mentor or company looking to make a real difference reach out to ACP: www.acp-usa.org

Big thanks to Joseph DiSalvo, Ret. Army Lieutenant General for joining us to share insights after serving 37 years as a Soldier.

Insights:
-Always look up one or two levels - much to be gained
-Learn to Delegate 
-Take advantage of Professional Development offered by the Army as well as secure certifications and other learning courses where you can
-If you want references from within the Military, reach out to them well before you transition out and offer a draft letter which they can edit.
-Spend the time to review performance reports with subordinates

And a big shout out to Mrs. DiSalvo for all the support over the years. The LTG is a lucky guy..sweet scene at the end of the interview
