I was surprised to learn that recognizing employees at all levels of rank and ascribing dignity to their work is practiced in a field where the rank is prioritized. What a great way to make everyone feel valued!
Thank you, Adm. Shelanski!

It was an interesting seminar and some leadership pointers given from listening.
One thing of note is, I would have liked to hear more instances of personal experiences and general leadership outlooks perhaps instead of the lengthy introduction that covers the (Googleable) history of aircraft carriers.
Thanks

So enjoyed your perspective and insight as it relates to commanding such a mighty warship and it’s very valuable assets, our American sailors. I was reminded of the value of truly listening to people’s concerns and digging deeper to realize how best to resolve them.
It began with one of the sailor’s wives, you had the humbleness to change the study plan ,and in the end it yielded the results you had hoped for.
Brilliant!!!
Thank you so much for your service and sharing yourself with us. Jennene

The Admiral was very “down to earth” in his presentation that exuded the humility stories that he used in his presentation. He gave realistic answers to questions after sharing his Trust, Culture Excellence, Communication and Humility Values

I appreciate his service and can see why he received the well deserved praise. However, I am not in the military and I wasn’t expecting most of his lecture to be on the history of the armed forces (Navy). In comparison to the previous leadership lecture, which was also presented by a high rank official (military), I was able to relate better with his general discussion on leadership and how to incorporate it into my team. (I work in the medical field as a nursing supervisor).
Thank you

It was an interesting topic. He gave lots of background and then he gave very distinct examples of what he did to establish himself as the Captain of the ship, literally! Well Done!

I decided to listening to this presentation and see if it might be of interest to me. I stayed on the entire time and was fascinated by the history of the aircraft carrier as well as the leadership principles shared by the Admiral. I was impressed with his exhibition of his own humility as he shared the story of the Thanksgiving dinner on board in line for his meal. I truly appreciated hearing the Admiral speak positively of our good relationship with another country. In the current world affairs, it seems all we see and hear is finger-pointing and negativity. And I was pleased with the responses he gave to the questions at the end. Overall, excellent presentation. Thank you for your service, Admiral. I look forward to more presentations like this that are uplifting, inspiring, and instilling within me a desire to do and be better.
