LTC David Yebra (U.S. Army, retired): Envisioning the future, learning from mistakes and being vulnerable
Lacy talks with David Yebra, U.S. Army veteran and Director of Training and Leader Development at the Texas Department of Criminal Justice. What would it mean to become a better version of yourself? Director Yebra describes the extraordinary power of our own minds to both limit and guide ourselves into a future we envision. Why take the time to envision a future you? Well, “you cannot create what you cannot imagine.” Director Yebra shares ways he uses his mistakes, is vulnerable with his support team, tests his capabilities, and adapts to a situation to help him reach big goals. You can apply these approaches toward any goal… for your health, relationships, job performance or career.
If you want to learn more about this topic, watch the recording of his 1/14/22 webinar: Envisioning Your Future and Setting Goals.
