139 IS Hosts Leadership Training Seminar

Kathy Kelly, Mindset of Leadership instructor and Chief Executive Officer of Introspect International, works with Maj. Troy Lewis, 139th IS Commander and Senior Airman Pricilla Waters during a practical exercise.

During the September UTA, members of the 139th Intelligence Squadron (IS) and the 31st IS (the Active Duty Associate Squadron) attended the the Mindset of Leadership workshop conducted by Introspect International in Augusta. GA. A 2-day experiential workshop, the training provided practical formulas, tools, and models for achieving results while building positive relationships.

“The training this workshop provides will be invaluable to the 139 IS and the 31st IS as we build processes to work collaboration between the units,” said Chatfield. “We will now have a common language and tools to deal with difficult issues.”

Chatfield recommended this training for the unit after she was introduced to the training in her civilian position. She admits that it was among the best short leadership course she had attended in her 25+ year career based upon the tools and practical exercises presented in the workshop.

“The training is designed to provide team members with tools for improving communications between individuals, teams and workgroups by building trust and credibility, being outcome focused, identifying and changing limiting behaviors, improving listening skills, and working towards respectful resolutions when handling difficult issues.”

“Investing in this training was time and money well spent,” said Chatfield. “The 139IS is in its infancy and is working hard to develop the unit culture and building valuable relationships with mission partners.”
