TAMF - Tap and Move Forward


E38. Ret. General Christine Burckle- Step Forward

September 11, 2019

***Leadership Episode***
I don’t know a better way to honor 9-11 than to release this episode with Ret. Brig. Gen. Christine Burckle.  She started her career as a Navigator, flying over 3000 hours, later moving up through the ranks and becoming the first female General in the Utah Guard.  I have been lucky to serve under her command and I am honored she agreed to this interview sharing her insight and experiences that developed her career and character along the way.
 If you google her you can find all sorts of news coverage from her taking command as assistant adjutant General, to her recent retirement.
In this episode she talks about:
Being a Navigator
Being replaced by a computer
Getting a hated assignment
Transitioning from active duty to guard
Being a small business owner
Being in the military for 9-11
Valuable relationships
Getting Feedback
Stepping forward
Leadership Transparency
Support of family
Having a military spouse
Personal Pride
Developing communication

“Don’t ever think there is any thing as a bad assignment.”
“They woudn’t ask you to do it if they didn’t think you could”
“What you really need to do is just be ready to step forward if asked”
“When you believe in yourself it helps you meet challenges and make mistakes too. Failing becomes a lot easier if you believe in yourself, it helps you keep trying.”
