As a United States Army veteran, I have spent much of my adult life serving my country and leading combat and non-combat deployments worldwide. After leaving the Army, I joined the civilian workforce with leadership roles for several divisions of one organization. There was nothing easy about my transition into civilian leadership. I struggled with my new reality, having left the full-throttle life I knew. I was used to being surrounded by high-octane individuals with shared goals and a common work structure which I did not find outside of the military. I worked through this transition with a fantastic Coach, and through his help, I realized that Coaching leaders and those aspiring to be leaders in the development of their skills and helping them with their career strategy is where I belonged.
