LITTLE ROCK AIR FORCE BASE, Ark. --
Airmen, civilians and spouses attended the Profession of
Arms Center of Excellence’s Professionalism -- Enhancing Human Capital course
led by U.S. Air Force Lt. Col. Trevor Rosenberg, Air Education and Training
Command PACE leadership advisor, Sept. 28-29, 2016, at the Walters Community
Center on Little Rock Air Force Base, Ark.
“I hope everyone who attends this course takes away from it
a vision to be a better version of themselves,” Rosenberg said.
The five-hour course covered seven different modules with two
or more lessons per module, as well as group activities offered during two different
classes. These modules included connecting values to mission, professionalism,
thinking about thinking, human behavior, communication, personal bias and “gutting
up.”
With approximately 230 people in attendance, individuals
were encouraged to become better leaders by first becoming better people.
The PACE program and subsequent courses such as this are designed
to help Airmen, civilians and family to think outside the box. For example, when communicating with others,
it’s important to understand what to say, how to say it and who to say it to.
Tailoring communication skills to fit an audience can make a monumental
difference in how information is received.
The PACE program is a voluntary, highly-encouraged Air Force
course and is offered to all motivated individuals wanting to become their best
self.
“I continue to visit bases to teach this course because of
the demand for it,” Rosenberg said. “I think it’s inspiring.”
Over the course of 18 months the course has been offered,
more than 55,000 people have attended and the numbers continue to grow.
