Great post. There has to be more to a job than just making money to pay the bills...or if the job isn't enough (bills have to be paid and not everyone has the luxury of finding purpose and a salary in work) then find something else that fulfils that sense of purpose. For me REACT Disaster Response filled that gap when I needed it most and helped me through hard times. It helped me get a grip on the identity and purpose I felt when I served in the military. I am very lucky that I have that sense of purpose in the role I am in today at Neuron, being a part of a growth story is an exciting journey especially when you believe that the products you are taking to market will have a positive impact on your customers/partners and their business. I still expect to jump back into the world of being a humanitarian, hopefully with RE:ACT but my focus for the coming years is to see the success of Neuron and our customers and partners. #purpose #veterans #ikigai #startups #scaleups #digitaltransformation #valuecreation #humanitarian #disasterresponse

Sometimes, there is an amazing crossover in disciplines and ideas for your passions. Here is one case for me involving advice for leadership that can be applied to mediation, problem-solving, and my work with Veterans, as told by former Navy SEAL Jocko Willink. This definitely makes my top ten interviews to watch: Jocko Willink on Leadership and Life: https://lnkd.in/ebd_kvXD #bebetter #getgreat

Being a military member presents unique challenges outside the battlefield. Here are five key hurdles they often face: 1. Esteem Distress: Transitioning to civilian roles can be tough. 2. The Generalist's Curse: Civilian leaders often specialize before assuming broader roles. 3. Definition of Experience: Civilian life highly values relevant experience. 4. Leadership as a Function: Leadership is equated with specific functions. 5. Coexistence of Cynicism and Idealism: In military culture, idealism and cynicism coexist. #All #ActiveDuty #TransitioningMilitary #MilitarySpouses #Reservists #Veterans #ACTNowEducation

Do you want to know a powerful truth about winning and succeeding? Winning is not done by individuals. Winning is done through teamwork, partnerships, wingmen. A few years ago, I took my family to a US Air Force Museum at Hill AFB. On the wall was written something so powerful, so sublime, so important, I had to write it down. It was written by a WWII Colonel named Francis “Gabby” Gabreski who had an astonishing 28 aerial victories. Here’s what he wrote: “The wingman is absolutely indispensable. I look after the wingman, the wingman looks after me. It’s another set of eyes protecting you. That’s the defensive part. Offensively, it gives you a lot more firepower. We work together. We fight together. The wingman knows what his responsibilities are and knows what mine are. Wars are not won by individuals. They’re won by teams.” Who’s on your team? Who’s your support? Who are you supporting? Remember to support your wingman and to be a good wingman. #leadership #teambuilding #teamwork

Are you a Veteran struggling to find your Purpose after leaving the military? If so, you are not alone with this fight. Remember, finding purpose is a personal and ongoing journey. It may take time and exploration to discover what truly fulfills you. Be patient with yourself and stay open to new opportunities and experiences that can lead you to a meaningful post-military life. Contact me, Dr. Gary Wilder at www.directionalmoments.com to assist with finding your purpose. #militaryveteran #directionalmoments #purpose, #vision #leadership #focus #onedegreebook

Reflecting on his journey, Chaveso, "Chevy", recounts his transformation from a young, passionate Army lieutenant to realizing his life's purpose: serving others. He illustrates that finding purpose is not just a personal ambition; it also encompasses self-development and taking care of those around us.

💬 Military Quote Monday 💬 "Every soldier must know, before he goes into battle, how the little battle he is to fight fits into the larger picture, and how the success of his fighting will influence the battle as a whole" - Bernard Montgomery of Alamein (1887-1976. British Army Commander) Wise words from "Monty" and certainly relevant in the civilian world. When our teams understand the 'why', they can achieve more. From seizing initiative quickly and without direction when the situation changes, to motivation, morale and team cohesion, being knowledgeable of the big picture will always be of benefit. In the Army we always ensured our teams understood the 'Commanders Intent'. Armed with this understanding of the desired 'end state' of the mission and how it impacted the situation, they could make decisions and prioritise actions better and faster, exploiting opportunities when they arose. Ultimately, accomplish the mission, even if in the way we originally planned becomes unviable. No one likes being a mushroom - kept in the dark and fed on dirt. #quoteoftheday #leadership #leadershipcoaching #quotesoftheday #militaryquotemonday #motivation #militaryleadership #inspirationalquotes
