Episode 87 | Ballad of John and ”Day-Mo” (Feat. John Quillin)

Damo and Tisha are joined by retired ABFC, John Quillin. John was one of Damo’s facilitators when he attended his course to be a Command Navy Leader Development Facilitator. John discusses many elements from the Naval Leadership and Ethics command including some of the major exercises and content from the Leader Development courses. Whats the difference between a safe space and a brave space? What’s the importance of understanding the difference between leadership training and leader development? Damo reflects on his experience leading the mandatory “extremist” training. The “George Floyd” era in the Navy is discussed through the perspectives of John and Damo. The term “liberal” is defined. Does everyone have “bias”? A lot of terms from the course were put into real world scenarios going on in our military today.  The classic question of “what happens when it gets real” is asked again? John speaks about his blog “Good Enough Dad” and what it means to be good enough.
