How being disruptive truly makes a difference

 

How being disruptive truly makes a difference Considering it’s typically negative connotation, disruption is not the first word that comes to mind when I think of making change. Innovation, revolution, restructuring or even transformation maybe – but never disruption. Association Success

Gen. Charles 'CQ' Brown Jr.: 'What I'm thinking about'

I stand with my fellow Air Force members Active, Reserve, and Retired. 

Please listen and ponder not only those in the military, bur our federal workforce caught between a rock and a very hard place.  Some living in two worlds.

We stand for our U.S. citizen rights, and our human rights.

Not only what does Gen. Brown Jr. is “thinking about”, but what do I and others think about that is so similar.

As an adventurer, veteran, a pilot, a father, a son, brother, and as a man.  As a Black Man what am I thinking about?

 Charles D. Sharp
