By placing your trust in your Wingmen and by being a Wingman to others, there is no mission you can’t complete in business or life.

Waldo discusses proven leadership principals based on his experience as a graduate of the US Air Force Academy, as a seasoned Air Force officer, combat decorated fighter pilot and experienced businessman. Relentless self-discipline, passion for the mission, dedicated teamwork and a commitment to excellence are just a few key elements of this engaging and highly interactive seminar.

Following this highly interactive and fun session, audiences will learn peak performance leadership tools based on 4 key concepts:

• Shared Vision
• Values Based Culture
• Effective Communication
• Train to Win Mind-set

When it comes to training, nothing is more critical than effective
communication. It flavours every interaction and plants the seed for positive results. Connecting with co-workers and employees and establishing an environment that creates trust are the seeds that facilitate this communication.

In a rapidly changing and high- stress environment like a fighter squadron, training is everything. It determines mission effectiveness and even saves lives. The manner in, and consistency with, which leaders in a squadron train and communicate can make or break their ability to adapt to change and accomplish the mission.

As a young fighter pilot in the 79th fighter squadron at Shaw
Air Force Base in South Carolina, I learned a valuable lesson about communication and how important it is when it comes to training.
It not only changed the way I connect to others in business but had a great impact on my personal life as well.
