Delighted to be a Certified Veteran Owned Business through Veteran Owned UK headed up by the incredible Scott Johnson Why is this significant? 1️⃣ It's a point of enormous pride for me. 2️⃣ It demonstrates just what Veterans are capable of and helps to overcome some of the less helpful narratives out there about the Veteran community. 3️⃣ Being a Veteran means that I am formally identified as a #diversesupplier which supports other organisations to meet their aims in utilising a diverse range of suppliers. 4️⃣ It helps to identify the skills the military provides in its personnel, demonstrating the huge range and variety of transferable skills we (the Veteran community) can bring to clients, employers, colleagues and the wider business community. Why would I not shout it from the roof tops? What element(s) of your personal history make you want to shout from the roof tops or quietly burst with pride? #veterans #ForensicOutcomes #leadership #supplierdiversity

It also ties in well with the leadership skills of those who have served in our #ArmedForces. Learning how best to communicate to individuals and your team. When, how, and how much communication works for people. Strong communication is at the heart of every successful organisation. And it is something us #veterans live by! 👉We want to hear from you!

Military and police veterans, corporate leaders... Today, I challenge you to make time and dedicate your effort to your own improvement. Make a conscious ongoing effort to invest in yourself, whether it's by learning a new skill, pursuing a hobby, or focusing on your well-being. Success is more than simply a destination; it is a journey, and the more you spend on yourself, the more fulfilling that trip becomes and the more successful you will become. #InvestInYourself #PersonalDevelopment #VeteransInBusiness #LinkedInCommunity

Military experience translates to successful business ownership and operations because it fosters traits like discipline, resourcefulness, and adaptability that are vital in the corporate world. Veterans possess an innate sense of leadership, teamwork, and problem-solving, attributes that enable them to make sound decisions in high-pressure situations. The skills acquired during military service, such as effective communication, attention to detail, and strategic thinking, are transferrable to the business world. According to the Small Business Association (SBA), veterans are 45% more likely to start their own businesses than non-veterans, and they are more likely to succeed. At Patricio Systems LLC, we pride ourselves on our veteran-owned status, and we believe that our team's diverse military experiences result in better business decisions and outcomes. #PatricioSystemsLLC #MilitaryExperience #BusinessOwnership #Discipline #Resourcefulness #Adaptability #Teamwork #Leadership #ProblemSolving #Communication #AttentionToDetail #StrategicThinking #VeteranOwned #SBA #SmallBusiness #Success #Diversity #BetterDecisions #BetterOutcomes.

Gen Brown's priority was "accelerate change", Gen Allvin now says "the course is set, now we follow through", Gen Healy (AFRC) says "ready now!" Yet, the latest assessment of the Air Force says we are in a "downward spiral" and our capabilities "very weak" (link below). Too much focus on "efficiency" and not enough on "mission readiness". "You fight as you train" said Gen Curtis Lemay, and we are not training to fight. We won't improve by creating new slogans, branding new abbreviations, and starting more task forces. Change happens when leaders lead and are singularly focused on mission accomplishment. You need to have a clear picture of the outcome to create an intentional path of getting there. What are your thoughts? Where has the USAF gone wrong, and how can it improve? #airforce #military #leadership
