• Helping Veterans Transition Back To Civilian Life

  Each year roughly 200,000 military veterans, both men and women, leave the service and make the transition back to civilian life.

  This morning on Jersey Magazine, Jim Monaghan speaks with Jan Rutherford, a former Green Beret and founder of Self-Reliant Leadership where he coaches executives, and leads Crucible wilderness expeditions with executives and veterans.

  Jan has more than 25 years of business experience with executive roles in business development, marketing, sales, training, product management, and as a CEO.

  For 15 years, he was a Senior Instructor with the University of Colorado Denver Business School, teaching leadership to MBA students in the U.S. and Ireland. He’s the co-host of The Leadership Podcast, and also serves on numerous boards, and invests time with select DOD units and veteran organizations.

• Rock N Ruff

  WDHA’s Rock N’ Ruff is back with a spectacular young dog! Meet Diesel from RBARI – Ramapo Bergen Animal Refuge!

  It’s Terrie Carr with another epic adoptable looking for a forever home! Dials is the perfect example of the amazing dogs waiting in your local shelter groups.

  Diesel Is So Handsome!

  

  TC Collection

  Diesel (the rockstar) is a young Husky mix, that came from an overcrowded shelter to RBARI, to find a new family to love him! Diesel is a year old, VERY friendly, super smart, aims to please, is loyal, and energetic! In typical Husky fashion, he loves to play, figure things out, and bond with his humans. He’s a great dog. Large but not too large.

  Young, but not too young- although a year is still considered a puppy, so training and patience are always key with young dogs, however, Diesel is a very quick learner. He even loved taking a crack at the mic in the WDHA studio! And of course, hanging with our staff! He loves meeting everyone at WDHA and would even like a doggie friend to play with.

   

  How To Adopt Diesel!

  Reach out to our friends at RBARI – they are at 2 Shelter Lane in Oakland New Jersey, 07436

• Coach Sheets Ride In

  Jeremy Sheetinger is the head baseball coach atGeorgia Gwinnett Colleg where he led the Grizz Gang to the 2021 NAIA National Championship.

  These quick hits may, on the surface, be geared toward his fellow baseball coaches, but his motivational message can easily be applied to the classroom, workplace, and your personal relationships.

  This week, Coach Sheets returns to a topic we’ve discussed recently – are you going to listen to people who will tell you what you want to hear, or are you going to seek advice from those who will tell you the truth?
