Today, we proudly honor and recognize the journey of our veteran leaders who have transitioned their commitment to service from the battlefield to the boardroom. Their journey reminds us that leadership forged in service is about more than titles—it’s a reflection of resilience, integrity, and an unwavering dedication to a purpose beyond oneself. At Naible, these values are at the heart of everything we do. As we work to shape the future of AI, we are guided by the same principles our veterans embody: a mission-driven focus that empowers us to push boundaries and build tools that elevate and expand human potential. Together, we’re not just advancing technology; we’re honoring the spirit of service by creating solutions that serve humanity. #VeteransDay #LeadershipForgedInService #HonoringHeroes #MissionDrivenLeadership #ServiceToInnovation #VeteranLeaders #AIForGood #NaibleProud #Innovation #ThankYouVeterans #BuildingTheFuture #HonorAndCommitment

It’s especially important to remember veterans on Independence Day. On this episode of Origin Story, military veterans Don Valdez and Nyles Thorne discuss their adolescence, the experiences that led them to make the decision to join the military, and how that has shaped their professional careers in digital advertising. https://lnkd.in/gguZnykV #fourthofjuly #independenceday #veterans #veteranjobs #veterantransition #military #militarytransition #militaryjobs

Top tip! Bring along clothes you love and that show off your personal style! The standard advice on what to wear for your headshot does tend to steer people towards a conservative look. And there are times when it pays to play it safe and follow the company culture! For instance if you are looking to join a new company, or to rise up in the ranks of your current organization, checking to see how the Executive team presents themselves online could provide you with ideas on what to wear for your headshot. But in many instances, especially if you are in a sales, marketing, or creative role, injecting some of your personality into your personal brand can help you to stand out from your competition! More adventurous choices of color, pattern, and accessories can help make you more memorable to your clients and prospects, and to “stop the scroll” here on LinkedIn. I absolutely love this pink jacket Katherine brought along to her Portraits For Patriots® session! Portraits of Patriots is a 501(c)(3) Charitable Organization with a mission is to ensure that everyone that comes through the program benefits from a high quality professional headshot to aid their transition. #volunteer #personalbranding #charity #stopthescroll

🇺🇸 From the battlefield to the boardroom, these distinguished individuals are pursuing a new mission. Yesterday, I had the honor of discussing the U.S. military veteran’s journey from the military sector to the civilian sector with Joshua Galle, SHRM-SCP and Bill Reed, two veterans who've navigated these waters. Joshua is a former combat Marine and Bill a former Navy diver. I have provided a link to the discussion in the comment section. The occasional stigma surrounding veterans in the civilian workforce is unfortunate; and  unwarranted. 🌟 Veterans bring unparalleled qualities to the table – resilience, leadership, and a mission-focused mindset. Yet, misconceptions linger. The belief that veterans are too rigid or face potential challenges like PTSD overshadows their vast potential. This isn't just a loss for veterans; it's a missed opportunity for businesses. It's time we shift our perceptions and fully integrate these exceptional individuals into our corporate landscapes. After all, if they can lead missions in uncertain terrains, imagine what they can achieve in our organizations. #MilitaryVeterans #MilitaryTransition #MilitaryToCivilian #MilitaryFamilies Steve Doolittle Bradley Blakeman Gavin Naples aryeh katz Roger Brown Jim Whaley David Carnahan MD MSCE Doug "Odie" Slocum Omar Fuentes, CSPO®, CSM® John Stapleton, MBA, CMPE Michelle Mullany Eric Gardner Sonya Ziegler Meline

April 23 marks the birthday of the United States Army Reserve. Following World War I, under the National Defense Act of 1920, Congress reorganized the United States land forces by authorizing a Regular Army, a National Guard, and an Organized Reserve (Officer Reserve Corps and Enlisted Reserve Corps) of thirty-five divisions, which later became the #ArmyReserve.

Maj Gen Roberson visited 7th Special Forces Group September 2022. During a town hall meeting, I pointed out the CDC recently stated there is no distinction between how vaxxed & unvaxxed individuals should be treated & that my religious exemption had been pending for a year. I then asked if there is any talk of removing the mandate. He responded, “have you heard of Novavax?,” to which I said, “yes sir, it uses aborted fetal cells too.” He seemed flustered at my retort. This led to a long answer on how if the US Army asks you to do something you should do it. That he doesn’t want to kick anyone out but will. That the Army is trying to find a middle ground with Novavax so the unvaxxed should take it. After that conversation I decided to leave the Army rather than wait for my exemption to get denied & risk receiving a less than honorable discharge. Even though MG Roberson probably had an amazing career for which I’m grateful, his response is indicative of careerism & moral weakness at the flag officer level. Generals facilitated in discharging & forcing out tens of thousands of service members & pushed an experimental drug after it had been shown to cause negative side effects. (See Karolina Stancik & Drew Outstanding) I ask that House Armer Services Committee Republicans hold a series of hearings to point out & fix problems from the VAX mandate & ensure it never happens again. DoD leaders should also take a hard look in the mirror to assess their part in this debacle that continues to weaken the force. Finally, please sign the DMA petition if you believe these leaders must be held accountable. Militaryaccountability.com
