Empower Performance Strategies’ Post

Military service equips you with incredible skills, discipline, and resilience. However, veterans often downplay these strengths or worry they won't translate to the civilian world. This can be a major hurdle in finding a fulfilling career. The truth is, your military experience is a valuable asset. But to succeed in the civilian world, you need to believe in yourself and your capabilities. Here's how the quote applies: 👉🏻Focus on your strengths: Think about the skills you honed in the military - leadership, problem-solving, teamwork. These are highly sought-after qualities in many civilian jobs. 👉🏻Reframe your experiences: Military service translates to many civilian fields. Logistics experience applies to supply chain management, leadership translates well to management positions, and technical skills can be directly applicable in many industries. 👉🏻Believe in yourself: Military service builds incredible capability. Don't underestimate what you can achieve in the civilian world. By recognizing your true potential and reframing your military experience, you'll be well on your way to a successful transition. 💭"𝙔𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙩𝙝𝙤𝙪𝙜𝙝𝙩𝙨, 𝙔𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙡𝙞𝙩𝙮"💭 #strength #reframe #believe #MilitaryTransition #Strength #lifecoach #coaching #mindset #inspiration #mindsetcoach #empowerment #lawofattraction #selfdevelopment #purpose #vision #quoteoftheday #future

⭐ Embracing My Military Background ⭐ The other day, I had an eye-opening conversation with one of my mentors. I caught myself saying, "Sometimes I downplay my military background because I don't want to seem intimidating." After some reflection, I realized that changing this very narrative has to start with me. As a Veteran, my service or anyone who served should INSPIRE, not intimidate. Let's shift the narrative. My military experience is for your benefit. Here's why: ✨ Detail-Oriented: My military training has enhanced my attention to detail. Whether it's project management or strategic planning, I thrive in precision. 📆 Organization: I can organize with my eyes closed. Punctuality and efficient scheduling are second nature to me. 💪 Discipline and Teamwork: Military service instilled discipline and teamwork in my DNA. I bring a strong work ethic and collaborative spirit to every endeavor. 🌐 Global Perspective: Serving has broadened my worldview. I bring a global perspective to problem-solving and decision-making. There's more to a Veteran than meets the eye; the skills mentioned are just a glimpse of what's ingrained in us during our service. Trust me, I'm scarier as a Soccer ⚽ Mom 😉. Don't hesitate to tap into the unique skills and qualities that a Veteran brings to an organization. Let's succeed together! 🚀 #MilitarySkills #VeteransSupportingVeterans #StrengthInDiversity

Transitioning from military to civilian life is a monumental shift, filled with both challenges and opportunities. From our pre-recruiting phase through our military career and even the transition readiness phase, we often hear about the wonderful value our military experience brings to the table. However, there is a caveat that is overlooked. Our military experience works beautifully in the civilian space ONLY if we adopt the appropriate mindset for our civilian careers. One key aspect often overlooked is the mindset adjustment and time requirement necessary for this transition. Download my brief pdf article, "Transitioning with Purpose-Shedding Negative Military Mindset and Traits for Civilian Success." #validusvince #validuscoaching #mindpreneur #transformationeur #leadership #jobpostings #leadershipdevelopment #leadershipcoach #leadershiptraining #leadershipskills #leadershipcoaching #womenleadership #thoughtleadership #leadershipmatters #leadershiptips #leadershipteam #recruitment #leadership101 #authenticleadership #inspire #lifecoach #lifecoaching #mindset #empowering #mindsetcoaching #empower #transformation #motivation #selfmastery #masteringself #leadershipmindset #organizationalleadership #careercoach #militarytransition #linkedin #careercoaching

🌟 Day 5/100: The Essence of Resilience 🌟 Welcome to Day 5 of our journey. Today, we delve into resilience, a cornerstone of both military training and successful civilian careers. In the military, resilience isn’t just about bouncing back; it’s about facing challenges head-on, adapting, and emerging stronger. Winston Churchill’s words, “Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts,” echo the military ethos that shapes resilient leaders in civilian life. Resilience in the military translates to the ability to navigate setbacks, change, and uncertainty in the civilian workplace with grace and strength. It’s about maintaining focus and determination, regardless of the obstacles. In transitioning to civilian roles, veterans bring this invaluable resilience, enhancing team dynamics, leadership, and problem-solving capabilities. It’s a testament to the power of perseverance and adaptability in driving personal and professional growth. #Resilience #MilitaryTransition #VeteranStrength #Day5of100 📌 5/100: As we continue our series, remember that resilience is not just a response to adversity but a proactive approach to life’s challenges. It’s a skill that veterans excel in and one that is highly valued in every professional sphere.

Are you a military member transitioning to civilian life? It can be challenging, but don't let these obstacles hold you back! 1️⃣ Esteem Shock: Embrace Leadership Beyond Command Size Your military rank isn't your sole value. Civilian success depends on adaptability, skills, and experience. Embrace your leadership skills as assets. 2️⃣ The Curse of Generalist: Be a functional expert, not just a generalist. Military members adapt well, but civilian careers favor specialization. Showcase your expertise for civilian roles. 3️⃣ Experience Definition: Showcase your relevant experience. Military experience can translate into valuable skills for civilian roles. Highlight leadership, problem-solving, and adaptability. 4️⃣ Leadership is Not a Function: Understand what civilian roles entail, military and civilian leadership differ. Understand leadership's universality but adapt to varied roles by studying job descriptions and tailoring your approach. 5️⃣ Cynicism and Idealism Coexist: Balance your attitude for success. Military culture has idealism and cynicism; civilian success needs a positive attitude. Embrace positivity and diverse communication for success. Challenges are growth opportunities.

Veterans seem to deal with this often, What is Good/ What is Bad Bringing up “Past” experiences and companies you worked for… I have recently been told that always referencing my military career while having conversations is “Out of Scope”. My thoughts on the comment made: Educate, don’t hate, so I will try! What a lot of people don’t understand is that many of us (service members) have had a full 10 - 20 year career in a specific military field. So what we have to offer can be very informative to a conversation or group discussion. What many don’t understand is that we have been to many (some lots) #continueingeducation schools, earned degrees (in the same field), along with many #leadershipdevelopment courses, so we do know more than just marching or using a weapon. I have learned that the military tends to send more troops to more #leadership courses (typically for every rank promoted too) than many civilian companies send their people to, as to people serving supervisory roles. #educatemeotherwise Be more open to #listening to our experiences and wisdom, we have in various areas. Most service members can or have led large groups of people in very high-stress environments. #doingmorewithless If you have a chance to take on a service member in your company, do so and give them the ability to show all those skills from their service experience. I am confident that they will produce great results! #veteranshelpingveterans #servicemembers #experiance #takingchances ** My "stay" crew ensured every one of the Sqdn jets left for home all the same day, a successful mission I will add! I was so proud of their dedication to making it happen. I am (from right) the second person in, proud Maint. Chief., BlackSheep.
