FOREWORD
by Mae Jemison, MD
Everyone has and strives for moments when their passions, training, and talents click match the circumstances and create success.
Whether providing armed tactical air support in a Cobra helicopter to hemmed-in ground troops in Iraq, responding as a police officer to a burglary call, competing in a bodybuilding contest, or giving a speech to hundreds of peoplesuccess, in each situation, required Captain Vernice Armour (Ret. USMC) to have mastered specific capabilities. In Zero to Breakthrough, Captain Armour, through examples from her own remarkable life and those of others, tells usin succinct, straightforward, U.S. Marine fashionher strategies for making and exceeding her ambitions for her life and how you can, too.
Brief history: I met Veeas I like to call herduring a project organized by my foundation called Celebrating Women of Color in Flight. As a former NASA astronaut and the first woman of color in the world to go into space, I was thrilled to promote and highlight all these incredible women who came together from around the world to change the face of aviation and aerospace. And as the group got to know one another in between subcommittees and a packed schedule of school visits, flight festivals, galas, and public relations outreach, I was struck by how Vee stood out among the field of so many remarkable and outstanding women. Her enthusiasm was infectious. She was the consummate We can do this (emphasis on the we) colleague and team member. Her sense of humor helped clear difficult moments and put them in perspective. And her talks riveted audiences. Plus, she was cool and competent. The kind of person you trust when she says Ive got your six (or Ive got your back in civilian talk). Im proud to call her a friend and colleague.
Which brings me to Zero to Breakthrough (Z2B). More than three years ago, Vee asked me if I would write the foreword to her book. She didnt know exactly what the book would be, but she knew she was going write one. Sure, I said, thinking, Shell forget. Its a long way off, and she doesnt even have the book substance yet. But she did have the focus, planning, execution skills, and commitment to accomplish her ambition. And thats what Z2B is about. Identifying, prioritizing, and accomplishing ambitions that are important to you. So, here I am.
In Z2B Vee shares how she identifies, analyzes, and digests personal experiences and ambitions as a Marine, police officer, and athlete. She tells about how the Marines helped her to develop mental toughness and determination, but I know that she must have had some before the Marines, or she would never have gotten there. Yes, Vee was a woman combat pilot in the U.S. Marines, a motorcycle cop, and a public speaker, and obviously had a lot to work withso do we all. She just learned to exploit hersand now she shares with us how. Vee describes how to plan, stop procrastinating, distinguish between obstacles you can control and those you cannot, and execute and benefit from lessons learned and quiet time. Men and women whose ambitions are outsized, larger than life, far-flung adventures, or those who stay closer to the hearth, will find great insight. Z2B is helpful for various aspects of leading a fulfilling life by providing insights subtle and obvious, but all necessary for successhowever you come to define it. Vee puts into clear language things we inherently know but fail to act on because they are lost in the back of our minds somewhere.
So, here is the bottom line: I like to think I am no slouch when it comes to taking on challenges and achieving my goals. But we can all use some extra motivation from time to time. Reading Vees manuscript in preparation to write the foreword has given me a kick of umph to fully engage in several upcoming projects, drop others, and maybe even dust off and keep a New Years resolution.
Enjoy.

I also discuss preparation, strategy, courage, legacy (or how you plan to leave things when youre gone), and the importance of high spirits and enthusiasm. Taken together, these concepts create a sustainable inner force and conviction that results in meeting goals, accomplishing significant tasks, and becoming an extraordinary member of the community.
