S4E10: The Moment That Changes Everything: Answering Life’s Most Important Calls with The Honorable Tanya Bradsher

  • Summary

  • We’ve all had those moments – when life, opportunity, or circumstance presents us with a choice—to step up, lead, and embrace a new direction. How do you recognize that call, and more importantly, how do you find the courage to answer it?  On this episode Dr. Shari Dade is delighted to sit down with the Honorable Tanya Bradsher to discuss how to answer life’s most important call – your purpose! Ms. Bradsher is VA’s first woman deputy secretary, first woman of color to serve in the position, and the highest-ranking woman in VA’s more than 90-year history. A fourth-generation Veteran, Ms. Bradsher—a combat Veteran of the Iraq War—served in the United States Army for 20 years and retired as a lieutenant colonel. Since retiring, she served as the VA’s Chief of Staff and in senior positions with the Department of Homeland Security and on the White House National Security Council.

    Whether you’re on the brink of a new opportunity, feeling stuck in indecision, or just curious about how leaders handle those pivotal moments, this episode will give you the insight and inspiration you need.

    Key Lessons:
    1. Your journey does not have to be planned to be purposeful. There are times, you are taken down the unconventional path to get to where you are supposed to be.
    2. Your experiences, identities, and values can leave you with just the right mix of life that will help you be successful at what you do. Allow those experiences to give you the learning you need to be prepared when the call comes.
    3. When the door closes, it’s best to accept that the opportunity may not be for you and another opportunity may be your calling.
