NetworkingPhoenix - Networking Fireside Chat w/ Steve Giblin

Topic: Mobilizing and Applying Resilience, Grit, Leadership and Fellowship From the Experience of a Navy Seal Team Six Operator.

Steve Giblin spent 28 years in the Navy and 26 of those were in the SEAL Teams. Half of his career was spent at DevGru (aka SEAL Team SIX) as an operator.

When Steve was at his first SEAL Team after completing Basic Underwater Demolition/SEAL (BUD/S) Training in 1983 they were moving the Team to a new compound on the base they were at in Little Creek, Virginia. As they were going through old desks and clearing out shelves and filing cabinets he found a sheet of paper that read “THE TEN ESSENTIAL QUALITIES OF AN UNDERWATER DEMOLITION MAN”

It was from the 1950’s, written by a WWII Frogman Officer who was now in charge of his own Underwater Demolition Team, UDT-21. Story has it that this single sheet of paper contained what he believed were the ten rules for living life, not just in the Teams, but every day. The sheet was posted around the Team area for the men to read and remind them of what his leadership expectations were of them.

Now, almost 60 years later, this once forgotten page for living life is captured in a book and the timing couldn’t be better, post pandemic, 2020 and what people can learn from themselves, their leaders and the world.
