What does it really take to shape tomorrow's leaders today? How do you contribute to the community in building future leaders? Meet Dr. Colonel Josh McConkey! As an emergency physician, Dr. McConkey sees the growing mental health crisis. As a commander he sees the lack of leadership and resiliency in our younger generation. His leadership ethos, 'Be the Weight Behind the Spear' is a call to action for today's leaders to engage our communities. America's best resource is its people- teachers, mentors, coaches, volunteers, and families. What you do every day matters! Dr. McConkey won the North Carolina Educational Lottery and is using that money to pay it forward with the book and his Non-profit Organization, Weight Behind the Spear Foundation. America is as divided as ever- help Dr. McConkey bridge that gap and make America a better place! Listen as Dr. McConkey shares: - how service, mentorship and leadership can prepare the next generation - mentoring and modeling being keys to leadership - how military leadership principles apply to community impact - values and purpose in building future leaders - communication and empathy being foundational skills - how serving your community develops future leaders ...and so much more!
