Laurel Ridge Community College hosts Leadercast 2025 April 24, 2025 / 23:21 The Leadercast 2025 event, set to take place in June, promises an unprecedented opportunity for both current and aspiring leaders to enhance their leadership skills. Hosted by Laurel Ridge Community College, this event boasts a lineup of world-renowned speakers, all set to offer invaluable insights and inspiration. Host Janet Michael connects with Christine Kriz, the Director of Corporate Training at Laurel Ridge Community College to learn details. One of the unique aspects of Leadercast is its inclusiveness – it's open to individuals and teams alike, offering everyone a chance to learn and grow. Christine passionately expresses the perpetual value of leadership development, likening it to a lifelong journey. 'Just like communication, leadership is something you can always improve,' she says. Historically, Leadercast began in partnership with Chick-fil-A and grew to become its own entity due to its immense popularity. With leaders ranging from fighter pilots to Olympic gold medalists, the lineup is designed to inspire and captivate. Christine reassures even the skeptics, noting how engaging the speakers are, saying, 'They are so captivating and inspiring, the 20 minutes is done, and you're like, I want them to talk more.' The event also features the Winchester Book Gallery, where attendees can purchase books by the speakers. Janet highlights an essential element of Leadercast – relatability. Unlike some events where speakers come from privileged backgrounds, Leadercast speakers often have humble beginnings. This relatability factor makes the event even more impactful. Christine shares the story of Jesse Cole, co-founder of the Savannah Bananas baseball team, who risked everything to bring his vision to life. 'Now they're billionaires,' she says, emphasizing that anyone can achieve greatness with the right mindset. This year's theme, 'Human Intelligence,' will feature various speakers, each addressing different facets of leadership and communication. Christine recounts some of the key speakers, including Hal Elrod, an extraordinary survivor and motivational speaker, and Christian Boucousis, a fighter pilot who teaches the concept of 'thought loops.' The event isn't just about listening; it's interactive and engaging. Janet emphasizes this, reinforcing that attendees will not be bored, thanks in part to local leader Jay Foreman. With networking breaks, fun exercises, and numerous giveaways, the event offers a well-rounded experience. Good news for businesses and teams: there's a price incentive. For every six people registered, the seventh ticket is free. Christine also mentions how easy it is to register, making the process hassle-free and accessible. Leadercast is perfectly timed this year, with early bird registration closing on May 5th. Christine urges everyone to sign up before enjoying their Cinco de Mayo margaritas to avail of the discount. 'It's $149 if you register on or before May 5th. After that, it goes up to $189,' she adds. Finally, Christine emphasizes the value of leadership training, not just within the workplace but also in daily life. 'You could be leading your family, a committee, or a sports team. Leadership skills are universally applicable,' she says. Leadercast 2025 is more than just an event; it's a transformative experience that promises to be both educational and entertaining. Christine sums it up best: 'The reviews we get on the evaluations every year are life-changing. It's just life-changing because these are skills that anybody can use and will make your life so much easier.' So mark your calendars and prepare to be inspired, educated, and entertained at Leadercast 2025. To register or get more information, visit laurelridgeworkforce.com/leadercast.

This is Steve Preda with the Management Blueprint Podcast, and my guest today is Christian Boucousis, otherwise known as Boo, the CEO of Afterburner, who is helping teams achieve peak performance with elite fighter pilot strategies. Boo, welcome to the show. Hey, Steve. Thanks for having me. I'm super excited to be on the show and also to meet you again. It's going to be a lot of fun. Yeah. And you've got a great Aussie accent, but you are in the United States. So, tell me a little bit about what is your personal “Why,” your personal purpose, and how do you manifest it in your business? And then how did you end up in the United States? Good question. I'm super lucky in that I was kind of gifted with purpose when I was a kid, when I was five. And I think as I get older and I look back, I realized how lucky I was when I went to an air show and saw fighter jets flying for the first time. And I guess for some kids or people that go to those air shows and maybe they're not connected with something they're gonna be, but for me it was, I was always gonna be a fighter pilot. And it only took 16 years, but when I turned 21, I was a fighter pilot. And here I am, only a few weeks away from turning 50, and I'm still donning a flight suit, still talking about fighter pilot stuff. So my “Why” is to translate a way of thinking and a way of working that I was blessed to learn as a fighter pilot, but more specifically applied to business and life. And that's something I've done at a very personal level, founding my own businesses, four of them. And now as the CEO and owner of Afterburner, having acquired this business, which is the fighter pilot mindset, has been teaching fighter pilot methodologies for nearly 29 years around the world. Yeah, that's interesting. So is this just why you moved over here because this business was located here? Absolutely, yeah. If I looked at, I came across a great saying the other day from Gary Brecker and he said, "The pursuit of comfort is what ages us," and if I'm honest, when I was in Australia before I bought Afterburner, I was in a comfort zone, making good money. I'd sold my businesses. COVID was a bit tough, but bounced back. Everything was kind of cool. And this opportunity came up, which was actually at a personal level, a lot more challenging, a lot less comfortable. The company was quite distressed. I kind of made a decision that I'd never want to be a CEO or run a company again. But when I came back to it, I said, I believe in this and I have to spread this as far and as wide as humanly possible. And to acquire this platform was the best way to fulfill that belief. Wow, that is exciting. I love this comfort zone. I like this quote that really made me think about some of the things I discussed with my sister over our vacation and she gave me this advice that, hey, get out of your comfort zone. And sometimes you're a coach and this is what you tell your clients, but the cobbler's sons go bare feet kind of thing and you forget it yourself.

This week I interview a very fun High Impact Leader, Christian Boucousis who is an ex-fighter pilot who now owns a fantastic team building and speaking company called Afterburner. He is a real-life Top Gun. Just like in the movies, Christian's friends and team members call him by his call sign "Boo."After spending some time with Boo, I'm not sure if the call sign was created as a funny way to scare the enemy or just because his last name was too hard for his team to pronounce, though. (But then again, with a name like Staneart, who am I to talk, right?)During the interview, Boo introduces the concept of "moments" that shape our lives and businesses. He explores how seemingly small decisions, akin to sliding doors, can significantly impact our destinies. We also talk about the critical role that these pivotal moments have in overcoming fear, taking risks, and making investments. He offers insights into creating a strong belief system that guides us to make the right decisions in these crucial moments. Join us for a captivating conversation on the power of influence, purpose, and seizing the right moments.This was a very fun interview that I think you will really enjoy!Connect with Boo at https://callmeboo.com/ or https://www.afterburner.com/christian-boo-boucousis/

Applying the fighter pilot mindset to business can improve performance and accelerate growth. Underinvestment in planning and lack of clarity are common challenges that hinder business growth. Creating a flawless execution system and reducing meeting culture can enhance productivity and effectiveness. Curiosity and action are essential in closing the mindset gap and achieving desired results. The GID (Get It Done) mindset promotes agility and efficiency in teams. Planning with intention is crucial for success, connecting objectives to actions. Deep performance, focusing on collective success and accountability, is a more effective model than high performance. The flawed mindset of agile can hinder long-term success. Boo's book, 'On Time, On Target,' provides insights into the fighter pilot mindset and flawless execution.

This mindset, he believes, is a blend of the art of strategy and the science of getting things done.Boo emphasized the importance of storytelling and creating a compelling narrative in business. He drew parallels between the captivating narratives of "Lord of the Rings" and "Star Wars" and the often lackluster stories in the business world.

He compared this process to cognitive behavioral therapy, where emotions are unpacked through action. He also highlighted the significance of having a clear purpose and the need to achieve tangible results, as positive thoughts alone may not be enough.Key Points from the Episode:Afterburner mindset and its connection to being a fighter pilotImportance of analytical thinking and working in a fast-paced environmentThe art of strategy and the science of getting things doneImportance of storytelling and creating a compelling narrative in businessAfterburner methodology: plan, brief, execute, and debriefORCA process: Objective, Result, Cause, and ActionImportance of debriefing in a supportive peer groupWorking with large enterprises and small/medium-sized businessesAfterburner offerings: keynotes, experiential programs, learning and development modulesAbout Christian Boucousis:Christian Boucousis, widely known as "Boo," serves as the CEO of Afterburner, a global human and organizational performance company.

In this episode, Dr. Paul White, an expert in workplace relationships and employee appreciation, sheds light on toxic workplaces and the importance of recognition. Here are the key lessons and insights from their conversation:1. Toxic workplaces have three key components: A sick system, a toxic leader, and dysfunctional colleagues. Understanding these elements is crucial for identifying and addressing toxicity in the workplace.2. Recognition and appreciation are essential for creating a healthy work environment: Despite the prevalence of employee recognition programs, many individuals still do not receive the appreciation they deserve. Leaders and organizations need to be more intentional and effective in showing their employees that they are valued.3. Acts of service can be a powerful form of appreciation: Small actions, such as answering emails, delegating tasks, or assisting with clerical work, can make a significant impact on colleagues or employees. Understanding the languages of appreciation helps to ensure that the right actions are taken to make others feel valued.4. Appropriate physical touch to show appreciation: High fives or pats on the back, can be a spontaneous form of celebration in the workplace: However, different cultures have varying levels of comfort with physical touch, and it is crucial to respect individual boundaries. The recipient of touch determines what is appropriate.5. Gifts in the workplace should be thoughtful and personalized: Instead of generic gifts, taking the time to understand an individual's interests and preferences can make the gift more impactful.
