Bringing awareness to your values, strengths and purpose for your journey beyond the military.
Description
As service members prepare to leave the military, they encounter a wealth of transition programs designed to ease their departure. These programs come in various forms: some focus on networking and job placement, others emphasize skill development, and still others provide coaching. Undoubtedly, these resources are valuable tools, and anyone transitioning out of uniform should explore the ones that best align with their needs.
However, here’s the crucial point: Transitioning isn’t a one-time event; it’s a process. Expecting any single program to cover all aspects of this multifaceted journey would be unrealistic. As I experienced firsthand after retiring, the mental challenges can catch us off guard. It’s not just about finding a job or updating your resume; it’s about adapting to an entirely new environment—one that might not speak the same language as the military or share the same work ethic.
Consider the gap that exists between most transition programs and the veteran beginning their post-military career. Unless their new employer offers specialized support, they may find themselves navigating this uncharted territory alone. How do they leverage the strengths they honed in the military when faced with colleagues who haven’t shared that same experience? And what drives them now that their mission no longer involves the signifcance of safeguarding the nation?
This is where my mission comes into play. By walking alongside veterans during the initial phase of their civilian lives, I'm addressing a critical need. Coaching sessions—tailored to your unique circumstances—will bring awareness to these challenges and empower you to reach their full potential. This about embracing a new purpose, discovering fresh ways to contribute, and continuing their Hero’s Journey beyond the military.
