🤣🤣🤣 This is a humorous take on a very real aspect of leaving the military. There are many unique characteristics of military life we take for granted, and reintegration to the civilian sector can be confusing and overwhelming. 😬 For example, what do some of these job titles mean? What is #businesscasual? How does one approach #salarynegotiation? How is #performanceevaluation conducted? Is specific #training required, and is it provided? What's the #organizationalculture? 🤔 These are some elements of the significant cultural shifts in the #journey ahead. Sometimes you just need to laugh. 😊 But, for real though. Don't pet them. #veterans #veteranshelpingveterans #transitioningservicemembers #transitioningmilitary #alwayslearning #alwaysgrowing #dobetter #bebetter #helpingothers #connections

This #MemorialDay, we pay tribute to everyone who died while serving the U.S. Armed Forces. But, I would be remiss if I didn’t also talk about the incredibly hard and unfair transition to civilian life hundreds of thousands of survivors undergo each year. Did you know that despite comprising 5.8% of the labor force, veterans experience a lower labor force participation rate compared to nonveterans? BUT, we also need to discuss how the U.S. military has historically targeted on underrepresented populations for service. In fact, a Dec. 2022 The New York Times report highlighted how thousands of public high school students in majority poor, Black and Brown districts are funneled into the U.S. military’s Junior Reserve Officers’ Training Corps program. How can we better support our veterans in their transition to civilian life, while also acknowledging the innate problems with the U.S. “War Machine” complex? Let’s discuss in the comments below. #MemorialDay #Veterans #TransitiontoCivilianLife #JenniferTardyConsulting

Great interview with Tim Kennedy founder of Sheepdog Response . Key takeaways: - Veteran transition strategy (find your purpose) - Why veterans make great civilian employees (dedicated to the mission/ focused on results) - Veterans have a Continuous Improvement mindset (this is key to organizations who strive for best in class/ best quality/ want to dominate the industry) Side note: If you are struggling to find your purpose, contact me. As an Oxford Leadership coach, I help people define and align their personal and professional purpose, values and vision.

People often think that getting a new job is the most important thing they need to square away when they leave the military. That once they get a job secured on civvy street that will help them make all the other decisions that have to make. Now I’m not downplaying the need for financial security but hear me out … What about if you first decide what it is you want from your ‘post military’ life, and then make your choices based upon that? By first getting clear on how you want your life to be when you leave the forces you can then make considered decisions that will stand you in good stead in the long run. How do you think taking that approach would make a difference to your experience? #resettlementCoach #transitioningMilitary #royalMarines #royalNavy #royalAirForce #britishArmy
