Rise From The Ashes

From Soldier to Speaker Oakland's Path of Leadership

Baz Porter® Season 5 Episode 5

Transitioning from a life of military discipline to the ebbs and flows of civilian workplaces, retired US military colonel and leadership speaker Oak shares a goldmine of experiences in our latest episode. His narrative, from commanding operations to penning a book on leadership, unfolds a saga of adaptability and personal growth. Listen in for Oak's poignant tales that underscore the essence of empowering communication and the importance of instilling a strong work ethic across diverse professional landscapes.

Imagine a leadership style that's not about authority, but about fostering resilience and inspiring communities. That's the journey I recount, tracing my own strides from a high school basketball court to the rank of lieutenant colonel, all thanks to the profound impact of early mentors. Oak and I dissect the misconceptions of control in leadership roles, stressing instead on empowerment and the cultivation of a robust society that can weather any storm.

Wrapping up, we reflect on the formidable path to 'Leading With Purpose.' Oak bestows upon us actionable insights for honing leadership skills and learning through every stumble. This episode is a testament to the unwavering significance of accountability and setting a vision for the future. Join us for a deep dive into the heart of inspired leadership, and leave feeling equipped to carve a legacy that transcends your tenure.
