Gen. Ray Woolridge & Gen. Becky Halstead
The military is by nature a high stress environment. Sandbox leadership can make it even worse. In this discussion, two generals will talk about navigating the pitfalls of such environments. You’ll get to hear Ray Woolridge talk with Becky Halstead, the first female graduate of West Point to attain the rank of General. Becky will share some of the powerful lessons she learned along the way as she successfully navigated some very toxic environments yet was able to remain herself and be a RARE leader.
