Season 3, Episode 7: Determination CDR Bob F. Zinga speaks about a master key to success: Determination. Find out more on his latest LinkedIn Article: “Embracing the Impossible”   ❝True leadership shows up when adversity strikes. Determination is refusing to retreat—no matter the pressure, no matter the cost.❞ —Bob Fabien "BZ" Zinga   ❝Leading through adversity is where true leadership is forged. It’s easy to lead when everything’s smooth, but when the storm hits—that’s when your character, your faith, and your resilience are tested…And let’s not forget, adversity often announces opportunity.❞ —Ron Carpenter   ❝There's more to life than being a passenger. The most difficult thing is the decision to act, the rest is merely tenacity. Women, like men, should try to do the impossible. And when they fail, their failure should be a challenge to others.❞ —Amelia Earhart   Many of us have been told our dreams are impossible. I’ve faced that too – from countless job rejections as a student at The University of Alabama to initial failures joining the US Navy. But what if those “no’s” are actually stepping stones? In this article, I share how #vision and #grit turned rejection into #opportunity. Learn why Walt Disney’s carousel inspired his grand vision, how Napoleon Hill’s story teaches us to persevere, and why building real cybersecurity or technical experience, even through volunteering, matters as much as certifications.   Aspiring cybersecurity pros and future leaders will find concrete advice on breaking in: from entry-level internships and DoD pathways to certifications like CompTIA Security+. The article also offers mindset tips – asking “How do you respond to rejection?” and encouraging you to hold your #vision fast, as Oprah Winfrey and Churchill did when they faced doubt.   💡 What challenge are you facing today? 👇 Drop a comment about a hurdle you’re overcoming or a goal you’re relentlessly pursuing.

❝Diversity and Inclusion isn't just the right thing to do. It is a strategic advantage; it makes an organization stronger, innovative, resilient, and ultimately better-performing.❞ —Coach BZ Bob Fabien "BZ" Zinga argues that the #technology sector must mirror the nation’s #diversity, drawing on America’s motto “E Pluribus Unum”, because a workforce rich in varied backgrounds, talents, and perspectives drives organizational resilience and peak #performance;  #inclusion then ensures every individual, especially #women and underrepresented #minorities, feels #respected and #valued, transcending mere legal #compliance. Despite high-profile pledges by #SiliconValley firms in 2014 to boost workforce #diversity, meaningful improvements in hiring and retaining #minority professionals remain elusive, underscoring the need for proactive #leadership at every level. Drawing on the US Navy’s Command Managed Equal Opportunity (#CMEO) program, Zinga offers four core recommendations for #tech organizations: ☑ Check Unconscious Bias: Actively counteract affinity bias by using gender-neutral job descriptions and anonymizing applications (stripping names and personal data) so hiring decisions focus solely on qualifications, thereby expanding the candidate pool beyond homogenous networks. ☑ Designate a D&I Senior Leader Outside HR: Appoint a full-time diversity and inclusion leader—separate from Human Resources—with clear accountability and formal training to influence strategy and resource allocation. ☑ Review and Update D&I Policies Annually: Task the D&I leader with maintaining governance documents—policies, procedures, training—and require all employees to acknowledge them yearly; enforce a zero-tolerance stance on discrimination, with swift, proportionate consequences for violations. ☑ Conduct an Annual Climate Assessment: Implement anonymous surveys to capture employees’ perceptions of inclusion, equal opportunity, and organizational culture; ensure senior leadership responds to feedback, fosters non-retribution, and keeps the dialogue open to sustain continuous improvement. By institutionalizing #unbiased hiring, dedicate #leadership, rigorous #policy governance, and regular #climate assessments—modeled on military best practices—#cybersecurity and #tech organizations can not only elevate their #DEI efforts but also turn them into a strategic #competitiveadvantage. 👇 Which step could make the biggest difference right now in your own work environment, in your own sphere of influence? 👇 What is one small concrete action you can actually take this week, something tangible to start fostering a more diverse, more inclusive space around you? ☑ Show Notes 👉 "Diversity and Inclusion in Cybersecurity and Technology" (https://lnkd.in/gheRHuvx) 👉 "Three Steps Forbes Councils Members Take To Drive Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Efforts" (https://lnkd.in/gHT8zeT) ↳ 👍like, ♻️repost & 💨follow 👨🏾‍🦲: https://lnkd.in/gcVzvEv7 #DEI #Diversity #DandI The Live LinkedIn Podcast will eventually be published on Youtube, Facebook Watch, Apple Podcast, Google Podcast, Spotify, Amazon Music/Audible, Pandora, TuneIn + Alexa, iHeartRadio, PlayerFM, and Listen Notes. “Everything rises and falls on leadership.” -Dr. John C.

🚨 Ready to Break into Cybersecurity? Cybersecurity isn’t just a job—it’s a #mission. Whether you’re an enlisted sailor eyeing your next chapter or a security engineer hoping to lead a team, the path to becoming a cybersecurity professional is both accessible and meaningful—if you pursue it with #purpose.   In my Forbes article, “My Expert Advice On Becoming A Cybersecurity Professional” (https://lnkd.in/ebVivUCR) I shared a few timeless lessons from my journey that can help you build a thriving career in this high-demand field. Here are a few highlights:   🔐 1. Start with Why—Then Get Certified Don’t chase cybersecurity because it’s trending. Pursue it because you’re passionate about protecting systems, people, and data. Once you’ve clarified your “why,” pursue foundational certifications like Security+, CISSP, or CEH to validate your expertise and open doors. 💡 Coaching Prompt: What’s your deeper motivation for pursuing cybersecurity—status, salary, or service?   🎯 2. Be Mission-Focused, Not Title-Focused In both military and tech environments, the best leaders aren’t obsessed with rank—they’re obsessed with results. The same goes for cyber. Start anywhere. Learn everything. Execute with excellence. Every SOC analyst and junior engineer who thinks like a CISO will eventually become one. 💡 Pro Tip: Titles follow impact. Build trust through delivery, not ego.   🌐 3. Network Like It’s a Strategic Operation Cybersecurity is a team sport. No one succeeds alone. From LinkedIn engagement to mentorship groups and DEFCON meetups, build relationships intentionally. Military folks—treat networking like intel gathering. Engineers—treat it like building your GitHub for people. 💬 Coaching Prompt: Who in your network inspires you to level up—and how can you add value to them today?   🧠 4. Stay Curious. Stay Humble. Stay Relevant. Cyber is a fast-moving battlefield. Complacency is the enemy. I encourage my mentees to read industry blogs, listen to cybersecurity podcasts, and follow thought leaders on LinkedIn. Make continuous learning part of your routine like you would PT or code reviews. 📚 Call to Action: What’s one new cybersecurity topic you’ll study this week?   🎖 5. Lead with Integrity. Always. Whether in uniform or in a hoodie, the best cybersecurity professionals hold the line with character. This field gives us extraordinary access to systems and trust. Use it wisely. The greatest credential you carry is your integrity—not your resume. 🛡 Core Value Reminder: Integrity is doing what’s right when no one is looking—especially in cybersecurity.   🚀 Final Word: Cybersecurity Needs You We need more defenders from diverse backgrounds—those who think critically, act decisively, and lead with humility.   ✅ Reflection Challenge: What will you do this month to move one step closer to becoming the cybersecurity professional the world needs?   👉 The world's FIRST live podcast interviewing OpenAI #ChatGPT (https://lnkd.in/gfJnbFPB)   The Live LinkedIn Podcast will eventually be published on Youtube, Facebook Watch, Apple Podcast, Google Podcast, Spotify, Amazon Music/Audible, Pandora, TuneIn + Alexa, iHeartRadio, PlayerFM, and Listen Notes.   “Everything rises and falls on leadership.” -Dr. John C.

Once you’ve clarified your “why,” pursue foundational certifications like Security+, CISSP, or CEH to validate your expertise and open doors. 💡 Coaching Prompt: What’s your deeper motivation for pursuing cybersecurity—status, salary, or service?   🎯 2. Be Mission-Focused, Not Title-Focused In both military and tech environments, the best leaders aren’t obsessed with rank—they’re obsessed with results. The same goes for cyber. Start anywhere. Learn everything. Execute with excellence. Every SOC analyst and junior engineer who thinks like a CISO will eventually become one. 💡 Pro Tip: Titles follow impact. Build trust through delivery, not ego.   🌐 3. Network Like It’s a Strategic Operation Cybersecurity is a team sport. No one succeeds alone. From LinkedIn engagement to mentorship groups and DEFCON meetups, build relationships intentionally. Military folks—treat networking like intel gathering. Engineers—treat it like building your GitHub for people. 💬 Coaching Prompt: Who in your network inspires you to level up—and how can you add value to them today?   🧠 4. Stay Curious. Stay Humble. Stay Relevant. Cyber is a fast-moving battlefield. Complacency is the enemy. I encourage my mentees to read industry blogs, listen to cybersecurity podcasts, and follow thought leaders on LinkedIn. Make continuous learning part of your routine like you would PT or code reviews. 📚 Call to Action: What’s one new cybersecurity topic you’ll study this week?   🎖 5. Lead with Integrity. Always. Whether in uniform or in a hoodie, the best cybersecurity professionals hold the line with character. This field gives us extraordinary access to systems and trust. Use it wisely. The greatest credential you carry is your integrity—not your resume. 🛡 Core Value Reminder: Integrity is doing what’s right when no one is looking—especially in cybersecurity.   🚀 Final Word: Cybersecurity Needs You We need more defenders from diverse backgrounds—those who think critically, act decisively, and lead with humility.   ✅ Reflection Challenge: What will you do this month to move one step closer to becoming the cybersecurity professional the world needs?   👉 The world's FIRST live podcast interviewing OpenAI #ChatGPT (https://lnkd.in/gfJnbFPB)   The Live LinkedIn Podcast will eventually be published on Youtube, Facebook Watch, Apple Podcast, Google Podcast, Spotify, Amazon Music/Audible, Pandora, TuneIn + Alexa, iHeartRadio, PlayerFM, and Listen Notes.   “Everything rises and falls on leadership.” -Dr. John C.
