“Setting healthy boundaries as a leader allows your team to be actively engaged with you, while respecting each other’s personal boundaries. Being available to them when you are needed but giving yourself recovery time as well. Establish the basic guidelines on how youwant to be treated and those around you will have the same mutual respect and caring.” — COL (Ret) Mikel Burroughs

TONIGHT's Topic: "Setting Personal Boundaries!"
"Let’s never forget and remember with a moment of silence today all the great warriors we lost on 7 December 1941! If we don't remember and we don't teach the good and bad about our history to our children and our children's children, then they will forget that freedom isn't free. It comes with the sacrifice and blood of many warriors throughout our history!" —COL (Ret) Mikel Burroughs
