Who doesn't enjoy a little anonymity? This episode's guest appeared incognito, but we still get to the business at hand!  We discuss a little about the Bataan Death March where tens of thousands of starving American and Filipino Prisoners of War were forced to march 66 miles in the scorching heat through the Philippine jungles.  Source: https://bataanmarch.com/   

We touch on the reality and unfortunate side of constantly getting hit on in male-saturated career fields and the verbalized perception that womanhood makes you weaker.  Why doesn't training for leadership include ways to manage inappropriate engagements when subordinates cross the line while maintaining your leadership influence?  Do other women leaders know the "small words" that signal a member of the opposite sex is making an improper imposition versus when genuinely in need of your help?  What's the best way to say "I care about you, but here are our boundaries."

Hear about how making small differences like representing well for yourself and your culture pays residual dividends and makes inroads to say "I AM HERE" and the beautiful benefit of not losing yourself as you gain friends and mentors in the military.

Come, join this conversation!
