This morning, over 500 attendees at the Accelerent Phoenix/BCG Breakfast Event had the honor of hearing Commander Kirk Lippold share his powerful story of leadership and resilience. “When you have a crisis, you begin to make decisions. You make the best decisions possible based on the information you have in that moment in time,” he explained, describing it as “acting in the now, while thinking ahead.” This mindset challenges us to ask, “What’s next?” What steps do I need to take to think, plan, and stay focused on the mission ahead? Commander Lippold’s story of overcoming extraordinary challenges was both humbling and inspiring. It’s a reminder of the resilience, accountability, and courage we all must summon in the face of adversity. To Commander Lippold and all who serve our nation: thank you for your unwavering commitment. Your sacrifices inspire us every day. --- For more information about today’s event, go to the Insights section of our website: https://lnkd.in/gq5tUuJr.  #AccelerentPhoenix #BCGAlera
