Current events: Jeff talks Ukraine

When certain world leaders start to make headlines we feel the effects right here at Diamond6.

Jeff gets pulled into the vortex of CBS News to share his expertise as a national security consultant.

Sometimes our meetings go from talking about an upcoming client workshop to learning about the latest international crisis.

(Here's lookin' at you Mr. P!)

In all seriousness....we are grateful to have the opportunity to hear Jeff's perspective and "off the record" comments on current events.

The pending crisis between Ukraine and Russia is no different.

Jeff has given umpteen interviews between staff meetings and planning upcoming travel to see clients out west.

(Side note...We think he's going to Colorado to go skiing. He says it's for work. It's probably a little bit of both!)

We get direct access to these real time leadership lessons on a regular basis.

Leadership is not just about what's happening in our own offices.

Below we've included an interview Jeff gave to KDKA, a CBS radio affiliate in Pittsburgh. Plus, his analysis and commentary over the last few weeks as this crisis started to escalate on the John Batchelor Show podcast.

These brief interviews may help provide you some insight and context for the current situation in Ukraine.

It's important to note that this is a quickly evolving story. We highly recommend getting the most up to date information from a trusted news source to learn the latest on this story.

D6 Team Books

One of my favorite things about having a small team at Diamond6 is that we know each other really well! We enjoy each other very much, have fun working together, support each other through personal and professional challenges. We also like to share ideas and resources for personal and professional development with each other. During our Monday staff meeting we had a brief conversation about books...what we're currently reading, what we've read recently, and books we hope to read again.
