Usually this podcast is 18th Maintenance Group specific but after meeting Garrett Bodie I learned that some expansion was needed. This maintenance professional serves across the flight line in the the 733rd Air Mobility Squadron. He was raised by good parents which in turn, led him down a path to be a good person. His hard working father also served in the Air Force and blazed a maintenance path for him to follow. From working in a furniture store to making a decision to join, this son was guided by an influentialfather who I know looks down and is proud. Enjoy.

Today's stories: Airmen from the 31st Maintenance Group at Aviano Air Base, Italy came up with an innovative solution to fix an issue that would have cost the air force over $100,000. Also, airmen interested in pitching their innovative ideas can sign up for the Air Force's annual Spark Tank competition.

2-Minute Tip — Tempo   When things are going well or smoothly we often talk about being in a state of flow. We feel it in music; we feel it when we’re writing code; we feel it when we’re doing needlepoint; and we feel it on stage when we speak.   Part of what drives that rhythm is finding the right tempo, or pace, for ourselves and hour talk.   Tempo goes beyond just finishing on time (though that’s important, too). It’s about honing in on the natural way that you talk. If you naturally talk fast, that may be fine. I you talk fast because you’re nervous, then that’s something to worry about.   The length of your sentences, the words you choose, your phrasing, etc., all impacts your tempo.   When you find yourself giving a talk that just “feels right,” ask yourself what you were doing in that talk. Ideally you recorded it so you can go back and listen to it again a figure out what made it smooth.   You probably found your tempo. And when that happens, don’t fight it — lean into it. Embrace your tempo.   Your speech can also have its own tempo, separate from the speaker. Different content will lend itself to different pacing. Talks may rise and fall emotionally depending on where you are in it. The energy level shouldn’t be the same throughout; let it fluctuate as the content dictates.   Ultimately you want the tempo of you as a speaker to be in line with the tempo of your talk. If you can’t get there, then rethink that talk.   Post Tip Discussion: Meet Lyle Tard   Back in college on the debate team I found my performance in competition rose or fell to the level of my competitors. The value in competing against a really awesome team was that it would draw out the best in my performance.   That was my experience in today’s conversation with speaker, trainer, Podcaster, Servant Leader, and Airforce Technical Sergeant Lyle Tard. His enthusiasm and energy is contagious.   Bio Lyle Tard is the Founder and CEO of IMPACT Servant Leadership, started in 2018. He is currently entering his 19th year as a Technical Sergeant in the United States Air Force and serves his country while still on active duty at the 305 Maintenance Group at Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst as the Non-Commissioned Officer in charge of Training Management.   During his Air Force career, he has been all over the world, from Europe to the Pacific Islands and everywhere in between. Among his accomplishments are honors such as Non-Commissioned Officer of the Quarter and Lance P. Sijan Leadership Award – Non-Commissioned Officer Tier. He has guided the careers of more than 10,000 Airman from civilian to military life, leading them in cutting edge training of their newly developed skills. He previously managed the Community College of the Air Force program at the United States Expeditionary Center’s school, touching the lives of more than 43,000 military and civilian members annually just before his current posting.   As a communicator, Lyle has spoken worldwide inside and out of the military community. He has motivated young adults at institutions such as Atlanta Leadership College, American University and Harvard Business School. Just as in the Air Force, Lyle takes pride in leading the next generation of world changers. From universities to businesses to churches, Lyle’s passion is to influence the world to realize that “Leaders lead best when they serve.” IMPACT Servant Leadership aims to transition our most impactful areas of society to realize that achieving power with others is more beneficial socially and economically than asserting power over others. Lyle is also the primary moderator of the Service is Power podcast, spreading the message that “The Power to Serve, Serves us All.”   Along with his wife of 14 years, Sherrell and his two children, Alycea and Ethan, Lyle has served as the Youth Pastor at Gulf Coast City Church in Ft. Walton Beach, Florida, Missions Director at National Community Church, Washington D.C. and Lead Elder of Lighthouse International Ministries in Brunssum, Netherlands.   Gain From Our Perspective   Lyle found inspiration in the slogan of Franklin Templeton Investments. Here is one of their commercials.   Episode 13 of Service is Power   Lyle talked about how his guests surprised him in Episode 13 of the Service is Power podcast. Here is that episode   Training   I found Lyle’s description of training in the military particularly interesting. It’s a model based on simulating the experience as much as practical since in the real world lives, millions of dollars in equipment, and US foreign policy are all on the line and dependent on that training kicking in when it’s needed.   Obviously, most corporate trainers do not face the same stakes, but our work may take us closer than we think. The way our learners do their jobs can impact millions of dollars of business, the jobs of their coworkers, and the health or safety of colleagues and customers.   eLearning and stand-up lectures can be part of the training solution, but ultimately we need to get our learners as close to the actual real world work as much as possible.   Go Make a Thing   As you probably noticed in the conversation, I also like how Lyle started his podcast on Servant Leadership. He went looking for content for himself, found it didn’t exist, so he created it. It’s the origin behind my Strokecast, too.   If there’s a resource you are looking for that you can’t find, go ahead and create it. You will help others, and you’re likely to learn a lot in the process, too.   Links   Lyle’s Website https://www.impactservantleadership.com/ Lyle’s Podcast http://ServiceIsPower.org Lyle on Twitter http://twitter.com/ServingLeader Lyle on LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/lyletard/ Lyle’s Email Lyle@impactservantleadership.com Lyle’s Other Email hello@serviceispower.com Service is Power Podcast Episode 13Show Notes http://serviceispower.org/onebigparty/ Service is Power Podcast Episode 13 Audio https://soundcloud.com/service-is-power/ep13 The Speaker Lab Podcast (Grant Baldwin) http://TheSpeakerLab.com Franklin Templeton — Gain From Our Perspective https://youtu.be/HFHi3_WaTgc   Call To Action   Is there something you want to learn more about or that you are passionate about?
