What if the best leadership training wasn't in a conference room but on a historic battlefield?
In this fascinating episode of the Business Growth Spotlight, Heidi Schalk sits down with leadership expert, executive coach, author, and retired Army Colonel David Fivecoat. After serving 24 years in the military and leading organizations ranging from 40 people to several thousand, David has developed a unique approach to leadership development that takes executives and leadership teams directly to historic battlefields.
From Normandy to Gettysburg, David uses real historical events, leadership decisions, and moments of extreme pressure to help business leaders strengthen communication, decision making, initiative, and resilience.
David also shares the entrepreneurial journey of launching a consulting company during the height of COVID, the lessons he learned about grit, and why persistence is often the deciding factor between success and failure.
