Welcome to 2022 uMu! It's time to kick this year off with our first Livestream of the year!
ICYMI January is National Mentoring Month! This year the Air Force and Space Force's theme is, "Everybody Wins With Mentoring!" uMu wanted to follow suit with a critical level of communication with mentorship, transparency! It's no secret our next generation puts a high value on openness because it's authentic, shows vulnerability, and builds trust! Our HotWash Series allows our team to unpack the journey of our leaders and have a transparent and vulnerable conversation! This week we had the honor of unpacking the journey of our Chief Master Sergeant of the Air Force, JoAnne S. Bass!
Chief Master Sergeant of the Air Force JoAnne S. Bass represents the highest enlisted level of leadership. As such, it provides direction for the enlisted force and represents their interests, as appropriate, to the American public and those in all levels of government. She serves as the personal adviser to the Chief of Staff and the Secretary of the Air Force on all issues regarding the welfare, readiness, morale, and proper utilization and progress of more than 600,000 Total Force Airmen. Chief Bass is the 19th Chief Master Sergeant appointed to the highest noncommissioned officer position!
But we wanted to know the woman behind the chevrons! The person who was an Army dependent before enlisting in 1993! What experiences shaped her into the phenomenal leader we see today? What were some of her struggles and memorable moments? Of course, our HotWash Series was the perfect approach for this type of mentorship!
If you've ever been part of an event, exercise, or inspection in the Air Force, you should be familiar with the term 🔥 HOTWASH 🚿. The intent of a HOTWASH session is to identify the strengths and weaknesses of the response to a given event, which then leads to another governmental phase known as "lessons learned."
So tune in as we hear from CMSAF JoAnne Bass and see: 🔥What worked 👍 🔥What didn't work 👎 and lessons learned! You don't want to miss this🔥 HOTWASH 🚿
CMSAF Bass the uMu team does not take lightly the opportunity you gave us with our Livestream! Thank you and Team 19 for making time to mentor, inspire, and empower deliberately!
