★ MY EXPERTISE – The evolution and ultimate success of a Navy Fighter Pilot is linked to a system that maximizes human performance, optimally manages fear, and places the highest premium on leadership. Having evolved in this unique incubator, I became motivated to convert this precious system in support of those I love and care most about – my own kids. The lessons, tools, and takeaways in this book have truly been written in blood and are reflected in first-hand accounts and personal stories.★ WHO GETS RESULTS – Although designed for Parents, this book is for those motivated to support someone’s life journey, in such a valuable way, that they arrive healthy in mind, body and spirit, and are legitimate people of consequence, whether they be kids, teams, or employees.★ HOW I DO THIS – I provide critical insights on self-leadership and core values. I introduce the concept of controlled failure and its irreplaceable value. I share strategies for building body, mind, social, and spirit strength and balance. I include tools to avoid insidious recognition inflation. And I highlight the four most powerful adversity defenses – Faith, Family, Friends, and Fun.★ WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING:"I love the way Brick Conners engages you with stimulating stories from his fighter pilot career, and then drops a bomb on parenting myths.

★ OUR EXPERTISE – There is no Team more capable of understanding, anticipating or managing risk, no matter what form it takes. We were all groomed in organizations that demand extremely high personal and professional standards; operate in environments where time-critical decision making is a way of life; and where resource and risk management includes accountability for loss of life as well as the possibility of unintended strategic consequences.★ WHO GETS RESULTS – Fortune favors boldness but boldness also invites risk. Organizations who must constantly deploy precious time, talent, and treasure in an imperfect and uncertain world will only be successful if they can decide, plan, and act with simplicity, speed, and seamless risk response agility. This is especially true for startup and turnaround investors or for high-risk industries.★ HOW WE DO THIS – In an increasingly complex, volatile and often unpredictable competitive environment, Pharos Leadership helps you prepare your Leadership Teams to Decide and Act with optimal speed and maximum Impact using a proven process.★ WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING:"After seeing a large reputable company’s executive decision-making presentation and then going through Pharos Leadership’s immersive Decision Life Cycle event, there is no comparison.
