VUCA Affects Everyone

Many leaders feel unprepared. Imagine you arrive at work and there's a crisis – a major supply chain disruption, a rapid, unexpected fluctuation in the market, maybe even a hack into your system that could compromise the entire business… A scenario where traditional leadership often fails, but the SEAL approach of adapting and innovating under pressure would thrive. These are not everyday situations, but they can and do happen. As a leader in business, preparing for VUCA (volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity) from a SEAL perspective might sound dramatic to some. But VUCA conditions don't just affect CEOs and professional leaders. They also lead to crises in everyone's lives. Situations that we see all the time, yet could turn bad if not handled quickly and well. Divorce, financial trouble, team members quitting or underperforming… These things can and do happen to most people. Yet despite being so commonplace, many people struggle greatly with them. People often don't know what to do. They become overwhelmed. Leaders who have trained for VUCA from a SEAL perspective will be better equipped to handle everything life throws at them. Especially those who don't stop training. If you stop working out, you lose muscle. The same concept applies to leading with SEAL tactics in business and in life. That is why, in order to continue to push your training to the next level, we're putting on our exclusive in-person event Leadership Under Fire from September 16-19th in Carlsbad, CA with myself and my team. We're bringing up to 30 coaches together to train for three days, with the top Navy SEAL and Unbeatable Mind leadership tools for your life and business in today's VUCA world. We will teach Failing Forward Fast, how to maintain a calm, controlled, and focused mindset with the Big 4 skills, the F3 process of Planning, Briefing, Executing with OODA Loop, and Debriefing... and the mission planning process of FITS / PROP / SMARTP and SMEAC. (All acronyms will be unpacked at the event). We will get into the commitments of elite teams and where it all comes together to lead under fire with excellence – from my book, Staring Down the Wolf.  The participants will put all of their new knowledge and skills together to plan, brief, execute, and debrief a challenging "real world" mission. The event will also include morning and evening rituals, a night ruck, breath empowerment, and Kokoro training (integrated movement). There are no physical fitness requirements. You can choose your level of challenge for each of the movement-related exercises. All are welcome. Visit the Leadership Under Fire event page to register, as well as find more details and FAQ. This is limited to 30 people in order for everyone participating to get the most value possible out of the experience. If you are interested, be sure to sign up as soon as possible. There won't be spots left for long. I look forward to training with you. Hooyah!
