@SEAC_ADF @ADC_Australia @RSMAusArmy @WON_Australia @WOFFAF @DefenceAust Many thanks for supporting two CDLE events in two weeks for us, Ken! I'm looking forward to hearing your thoughts on the next steps for leadership development across Defence. - let's chat very soon!!

[Heather Skousgaard @DrSkous]

@LastSharkBoss @SEAC_ADF @CDF_Aust @ADC_Australia Thanks Paul. This one's a brand new approach, but yes, there's more innovation to come in the leadership development space for Defence, plus our long-standing favourite forums as well. Lots for us to catch up on next time you're free!!

[Heather Skousgaard @DrSkous]

@CJC_ADF Welcome to the team! We're looking forward to serving with you 😃

[Heather Skousgaard @DrSkous]

@Cookie2148 Dang... now where are my old MOD log in details when I need them! Any chance there's a YouTube version?? 🙏🤷‍♀️🤞

[Heather Skousgaard @DrSkous]

@Cookie2148 Ooooh!!! We need to talk, James! I'll drop you a line...

[Heather Skousgaard @DrSkous]

So proud of my team at the Centre for Defence Leadership and Ethics! 🤩👇 Another inspiring example of how @ADC_Australia is fostering critical conversations on #MilitaryEthics in #YourADF https://t.co/eAAoo91iuB

[Commandant - Land Combat College @COMDT_LCC]

Congratulations to @DPBEthics a contributing expert advisor to the 2021 ADF Ethics doctrine

[Heather Skousgaard @DrSkous]

So proud of Team #CDLE this week as we work to promote #YourADF's #MilitaryEthics doctrine. Lots more ahead so stay tuned - 2022 is set to be a cracker! @ADC_Australia

[Dr Cate @catecarterarmy]

Great working with @8_9_RAR_AusArmy, @AusAirForce and @Australian_Navy on #Ethics video! Watch this space, #miltwitter @ADC_Australia #YourADF

[Heather Skousgaard @DrSkous]

Still reckon this is something we need @ADC_Australia 😃 Though to be fair, I think I’m trumping it with #BringYourBabyToWorkDay, which is pretty much any day for me!

[Defence Academy @DefAcUK]

Today is #BringYourDogToWorkDay.

The Defence Academy is a dog-friendly workplace and we regularly see our canine friends in our offices.

Show us your pooches in the comments🐕

[Heather Skousgaard @DrSkous]

@DavidLivermore LOL - it might be a stereotype but it sure matches my experience of (trying) to work across Europe in the summer!

[Heather Skousgaard @DrSkous]

@DavidLivermore So glad to hear this!! I always love visiting sacred sites when travelling. Religion is such a great insight into a group’s soul. And with way more believers than non-believers in the world, what better way to understand what drives someone than the ultimate drive itself?

[Heather Skousgaard @DrSkous]

@WillJMeddings @UN_MINUSMA @RAFBrizeNorton Busy times indeed. Stay safe my friend!!

[Heather Skousgaard @DrSkous]

These are the stories we need to hear more often!! I continue to be inspired by the rich diversity that is #YourADF, and these sorts of moments bring that to life. Thanks #AusNavy !

What a great day to venture back into teaching life again, getting to talk ‘culture’ for @ADC_Australia at @NSC_ANU, alongside @JohnBlaxland1. I’d forgotten how much I love being in the classroom!!

[Heather Skousgaard @DrSkous]

@naovanderlin @ADC_Australia @WarintheFuture @infinityfem @Cphw69 Many congratulations Naomi - a recognition well deserved! 👏🙌 CDLE was privileged to call you their own for so long. Don’t be a stranger now!!

[Heather Skousgaard @DrSkous]

@alijduncan @DipAcademyAU Congratulations Alison!! I’d love to meet up once you’ve got your feet under the desk 😃

[Heather Skousgaard @DrSkous]

My hubby and I are so glad we can be a part of the ACSC year for our 🇸�� and 🇬🇧 students in the community sponsor program. We learn so much from them and love hearing stories about life back home. Hopefully one day soon we’ll even be able to visit them in their home country! ✈️ 🤞

[ACSC @acsc_j]

Last night, overseas course members from @acsj and their families had the opportunity to connect in a social environment with other families, our community sponsors, and support staff from the Australian Defence College.

@BIntercultural Sounds spot on to me! HNY Tamerlaine!!
