Thanks for listening to the Cameron-Brooks podcast! This week, I had the opportunity to visit with Cameron-Brooks alumni, Tanya Chavez. Tanya works for G3 Enterprises and transitioned from the Air Force through Cameron-Brooks in 2012.  Since that transition, she has earned her MBA at UC Berkely Haas School of Business, led a major enterprise resource planning software implementation at G3, and has been promoted multiple times.  Tanya also currently teaches a business leadership and communications class at Haas. Stay tuned for a great episode as Tanya shares her perspective on everyday leadership, offers advice about bringing your whole self to work and how to take work lessons back home. She also mentions the book The Things You Can See Only When You Slow Down by Haemin Sunim. For additional perspective on everyday leadership, I highly recommend the Ted Talk by Drew Dudley on every day leadership.  I watched it this morning and it is really good!   Joel Junker

In Part 1 we discuss using comparative data when making a transition decision, finding balance in and out of work and staying curious. You can read more about Rob's background here. Enjoy!
