This approach fuels innovation, competitiveness, and strong performance.

2. Highlight quantifiable metrics on your resume and during your interview.
3. Utilize your sphere of influence; let your network know you are looking for a new role. You are more likely to land that position if you are referred, as opposed to simply applying online.
Maintain your standards, and you will find the right position. -

China's Air Power_ Expert Warns of Rising Threat
I appeared on Straight Arrow News’ “Weapons and Warfare” to discuss China’s new stealth aircraft.

I’m not an aviation expert, but I understand tactics and strategy. China’s focus on advanced weapons and power projection should concern us. We have spent time on other priorities, yet we can’t overlook our need to stay ahead. Watch the full conversation to learn more about potential shifts in air dominance and how they might affect U.S. interests. -

The pace of change in corporate finance is relentless, and professionals must constantly adapt. “New tech, volatile markets, and regulations that seem to shift weekly — it’s non-stop,” observes Eric Brown, CEO of Imperio Consulting and author of The Green Beret Approach.
Brown, who spent over two decades in the Special Forces, is certainly no stranger to chaos. “In the military, we called the exhaustion from constant change operator syndrome,” he says. “In finance, it’s called change fatigue. In both cases, leaders can implement strategies to mitigate change fatigue and build resilient teams.”
