Veterans Day Masterclass: Leadership, Service, and the Conversations That Shape Us
Manage episode 518879895 series 2285815
In honor of Veterans Day, we bring you a special three-part masterclass celebrating the power of service, courage, and communication.
Each guest — a distinguished leader shaped by the military experience — reveals a different side of what it means to lead and connect in complex times.
Dr. Heiss Gibson explores humility and trust in the age of artificial intelligence, showing why the best leaders never stop learning. Michèle Flournoy takes us inside the rooms where history was made, from the Bin Laden raid to the cultural transformation of the Pentagon, revealing how strategy and empathy coexist under pressure. Finally, Brian Ahearn shares a deeply personal journey of reconciliation with his father, a Vietnam veteran, proving that influence and healing often begin with one honest conversation.
Together, these stories remind us that true leadership isn’t about rank or power — it’s about service, humanity, and the conversations that move us forward.
