RP Members and Connections who have you inspired lately or in the past, mentored (or still mentoring), or coached to the next level of their Career?
Each of us has worked with many individuals (as leaders) to get them to the next level - Tell us about what you've done and where that individual is today?
I've been mentoring a young Captain since 2005, who deployed with my Brigade in 2005, and who I continue to mentor, be there as a sounding post, and inspire him to reach for the highest levels today. He is now a Lieutenant Colonel and still going strong! There are many others and some here on RallyPoint that I'm workign with today!

I've got a Marine whose previous leaders have failed him. He was deficient in his job performance because of the lack of training. I took him under my wing and gave him every bit of knowledge I could provide. Now he's acting more like an NCO. Teaching his own Marines how to do their jobs. He's got more confidence. He's still a work in progress, but he's shaping into being a leader in his own right.

Still going on, COL Mikel J. Burroughs. I work in financial services and one of the young advisors is a first lieutenant in the TNARNG. We get together about every two weeks for drinks. Granted, there are a few tall tales told, but that's to be expected! However, he still asks for my opinion on occasion, and sometimes I make a suggestion or two, whether he asks me or not!

Probably the one that had the most impact was a twice passed over for O-6 CDR that I leaned into to exit under his own terms, not the Navy. I then challenged him with critical work. Bottom line, he made O-6 on the third look (pretty much unheard of) and wound up being hand picked by the Army to fill the Oil Sector Chair slot in Iraq. He worked to restore oil production pretty much everywhere. He retired under his own terms and never looked back. And like many before and since, he made sure his translator got a start in the States.
