What if the moment that nearly ended your life became the moment that transformed how you lead?

In this powerful episode of Tactical Harmony, former NCIS Executive Assistant Director Kurt Thomas shares the near-death experience that reshaped his mindset, leadership style, and legacy.

With over 31 years of service as an NCIS Special Agent and senior executive, Kurt led high-risk missions across Iraq, Afghanistan, and global counterterrorism environments. But it wasn’t rank or titles that changed him, it was a hospital bed, a promise to God, and a realization about how leaders truly impact others.

Rebecca Fitzsimmons and Kurt Thomas dive deep into outward mindset leadership, resilience under pressure, culture by design (not default), self-mastery, and why people remember how you lead—not what you achieve.

This episode is a masterclass for leaders, first responders, executives, and anyone serious about impact, legacy, and leading with humanity when it matters most.

Tune in now to create your own legacy.

Fear, visibility, and leadership collide in this powerful conversation on future-proofing your career.

Rebecca Fitzsimmons and Executive Brand Strategist Melanie Borden unpack mindset, resilience, and why waiting to be chosen is costing leaders momentum. Melanie shares her non-linear journey from corporate executive to founder, and the pivotal moment that forced her to future-proof her career by stepping into visibility and ownership.

This episode explores the inner game of leadership—how fear, self-doubt, and imposter syndrome quietly shape decision-making, and why waiting for permission keeps high-performing professionals stuck.

Rebecca and Melanie unpack the role of presence, personal branding, and daily discipline in building confidence, resilience, and long-term influence. They also discuss why physical movement and mental conditioning are essential tools for peak performance and sustainable leadership.

Melanie offers a preview of her upcoming book, Theatre of the Mind, and leaves listeners with a powerful reminder for leaders at every stage: stop waiting to be chosen—choose yourself, take action, and lead with intention.

This episode is a must-listen for executives, entrepreneurs, and emerging leaders navigating change, seeking clarity, and ready to build a career—and identity—that lasts.
