With the #WiDAwards2019 soon upon us, we look back at our Shortlisting Conference. We loved the passion that our shortlisted nominees gave singing Roar by
@katyperry - and what a fantastic sound they made!

@sarahcotman great to see you at ACS this morning engaging in such a positive manner with AMLC students. Thank you.

@JscscRaf Brief to IOD-1 on Airmen’s Development. The RAF is in great hands, what an engaging and enthusiastic bunch of JO’s. Lots of questions and genuine interest in what we do at ACS and why. Discussions on joint PME and Talent Management.

@RAFMovs Always posh coffee at ACS #centreofexcellenceevencoffee

[Airmen's Command Sqn @ACS_RAF]

@JscscRaf recently spoken to a few personnel who fear coming on promotion courses. Are we getting something wrong? Should PME be about development rather than assessment? Is there a fear of failure and if so where does this come from?

[Airmen's Command Sqn @ACS_RAF]

It might be Bank Holidsy for most but on ACS leadership and management training continues. Over 100 personnel in the building today learning and developing themselves. #bethebestversionofyourself

“In the British military, success and promotion is gained by obedience and the absence of failure over being new or original.” Do you agree? https://t.co/kBiaMjqFvo

@Ian_Gale Sir if you fancy a day out of town and the chance to meet lots of inspiring NCOs, take the train to ACS.

ACS staff using USAF virtual learning for leadership issues.

[Airmen's Command Sqn @ACS_RAF]

Such fantastic opportunities for shared experiences. The only person to limit opportunities is I self. There are times to challenge appropriately and seek new ways of working.

WO HMLC RAF meets CMSgt CLC USAF. Same challenges and same frustrations. But the passion, drive and enthusiasm is always present

[Airmen's Command Sqn @ACS_RAF]

So fantastic to meet my counterpart in USAF. WO HMLC meets CMSgt CLC.

[Airmen's Command Sqn @ACS_RAF]

Started the day with a visit to the 1st Sgts Course. Would this be an opportunity for the RAF to manage our talented SNCOs. Lessen the burden on the SWO and WO PMS., whilst developing our talented SNCOs.

[Airmen's Command Sqn @ACS_RAF]

Fantastic visit to USAF leadership academy. Chats with fellow instructors on tactical delivery of leadership topics

[Airmen's Command Sqn @ACS_RAF]

John Adair - Functional Approach to Leadership. Task focussed? Are we too task focussed, is this the reason for mental health challenges? Who says no? At what level does this start? How do we “do nothing” better?

[Airmen's Command Sqn @ACS_RAF]

@JscscRaf Indeed we must do it more, so much to learn from each other. I hope Brian sorted out his problems

[Airmen's Command Sqn @ACS_RAF]

When considering the RAF leadership attributes, how important is Warfighter? We discuss and research many aspects of leadership during our courses at ACS, but often skip over warfighter. HMLC 30 will be considering this attribute tomorrow

[Airmen's Command Sqn @ACS_RAF]

@SEAC_Defence @RAFHalton @sarahcotman fantastic evening of debate and discussion with SEAC and HMLC.

[Airmen's Command Sqn @ACS_RAF]

Enjoyable time spent @JscscRaf discussing Airmen’s development and the need and desire to build fantastic relationships between Junior Officers and our SNCOs. Recognise each other’s skill sets for the greater good. Thank you for engaging IOD-3.
