ACE Academy

Welcome to the A.C.E. Academy, a 52 week video series designed to help you create a flight plan to adapt to change, commit to excellence and break performance barriers.

ACE Academy Content Example Picture

Accountability. Commitment. Execution.

In the military, the “Top Guns” are the pilots who consistently hit their targets. They are intensely focused on training and improving their performance to make sure they win every mission.

The A.C.E. Academy was created by Waldo to teach you the same tools and techniques he learned as a top gun in the Air Force, so that you can apply these skills to your everyday life. This weekly video series will help you stay accountable to your goals, inspire you to live more courageously and win big in business and life all year long.

 

Each Mission Will Teach You The Same Tools and Tactics Waldo Used to Become a Top Gun Fighter Pilot, Entrepreneur and Executive Coach

Leaders Lift

Be an encourager and a supporter.

LOSE SIGHT, LOSE FIGHT

Keep focused on your goals, targets, and wingmen.

NEW DAY, NEW JET

Start each day with a fresh perspective. Don’t let
yesterdays missiles shoot you down today.

FINDING MEANING IN YOUR MISSION:

Having a sense of purpose can help you deal with
the turbulence of change.

THE POWER OF PREPARATION

Never sell by the seat of your pants! Preparation
builds confidence and trumps fear.

SETTING A VECTOR FOR YOUR DAY:

How are you feeding your mind, body and spirit
to tackle the days challenges

WINGWORKING

When networking, focus on how you can help
solve others problems

DISCIPLINE – THE FUEL TO COMMITMENT:

Your success is built upon daily and often
difficult choices.

“I HAVE THE AIRCRAFT”:

You are the flight lead of your success.
Never outsource accountability

THE POWER OF CHECKLISTS:

When under pressure, a checklist can save the sale,
the client, and your career

Most of all, your team will be consistently reminded of their commitment to excellence throughout the entire year.

Sample Missions

Here are a few missions demonstrating the challenges the A.C.E. Academy addresses each week.

A.C.E. Mission: Are You Engaged Or Supporting?

The key to building situational awareness (SA) is teamwork, and a critical component of teamwork is understanding one’s roles and responsibilities in every engagement. In combat, the way fighter pilots delineate roles and responsibilities is by having an engaged fighter and a supporting fighter.

The engaged fighter’s job is to take out (i.e. engage) the threat, while the supporting fighter’s job is to support that fighter by building SA, advising on other threats, and even taking over if necessary. The key to this collaborative relationship is staying focused on your responsibilities and staying disciplined in your role. Unfortunately, this doesn’t always happen!

 

A.C.E. Mission: Debrief After Every Mission

There is no such thing as a perfect mission. You can contingency plan and explore every detail, but a mission will never go as planned. There will always be things that pop up – changing weather, emergencies, unanticipated threats, human error, etc.

While a mission may not go flawlessly, Top Guns and high performing teams understand that there is always an opportunity to learn from mistakes and get better.
