S4:60 (AI RECAP)🎙️ LIVE with LTG Gwen Bingham, USA (Ret.)
We are going LIVE with a special AI Highlight Breakdown of Lakecia Gunter's inspiring conversation with Lieutenant General Gwen Bingham, USA (Ret.) — a trailblazer, barrier-breaker, and servant leader who rose to become one of the highest-ranking Black women in U.S. Army history.
🤝 Connect with LTG Gwen Bingham: https://www.linkedin.com/in/gwen-bingham-a8795b3a/
📖 "The Power of Resilient Leadership: Lessons from LTG Gwen Bingham for Aspiring Military and Tech Leaders" (https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/power-resilient-leadership-lessons-from-ltg-gwen-bingham-zinga-bwklc/)
🌟 In this 10-minute AI RECAP, our AI hosts Joe AI & Beth AI will distill the most powerful lessons from her 38-year military career — insights that apply just as much to tech leaders as they do to commanders in uniform.
✨ What you’ll learn in this recap:
– Why resilience is a choice and how LTG Bingham turned adversity into fuel.
– How servant leadership creates trust: “Leadership is about how you make people feel.”
– Why competence + confidence are the two watchwords for any aspiring leader.
– How sustaining relationships is like “watering flowers” — essential for long-term growth.
– Why legacy isn’t about titles, but about the lives you touch along the way.
