🚀 What does character have to do with military leadership and operational readiness?

Lieutenant-Colonel Phil Desmarais—Commanding Officer of the Canadian NORAD Space Detachment—joins us for a pioneering conversation on why character is mission critical in today’s CAF. Drawing on 25+ years in air and space operations, he shares how his team is implementing daily character development across a dispersed unit, what this work demands of leaders, and why what got you here won’t get you there.

🧠 What you’ll hear:
🔥 Why people who rely on you “deserve a better version of you”—and why Phil refuses to stay static as a leader
🧭 “Who are you becoming while you’re busy doing?” — the guiding question anchoring his leadership
⚔️ Why character is an operational advantage, not a soft skill—especially in a world of global instability
🧩 The pioneering initiative: a train-the-trainer model + Virtuosity’s daily development + defence-specific application
🛠️ How behavioral forecasting became rocket fuel for his team—especially when preparing senior leaders for high-stakes strategic engagements

 🧱 The “tight curriculum” problem—and Elisabeth’s fix: broad infusion across courses, labs, and co-curriculars
 🧭 New USC initiatives: a Freshman Academy character module, the Engineer-23 milestone framework, TEAM (Teaching Engineers Athletes’ Mindset), industry exemplar talks, and “Keys to Life” purpose walks
 🛫 Inside aviation safety: linking leader character to communication, culture, and mortal-stakes decisions
 📲 How Virtuosity’s daily habit-stacking made character a lived operating system (not a lecture)
 👩‍🏫 Why educators must practice what they teach—and model growth in public
 👪 A surprising parenting takeaway: candour and consistency as acts of integrity
