🇺🇸 From the battlefield to the boardroom, these distinguished individuals are pursuing a new mission. Yesterday, I had the honor of discussing the U.S. military veteran’s journey from the military sector to the civilian sector with Joshua Galle, SHRM-SCP and Bill Reed, two veterans who've navigated these waters. Joshua is a former combat Marine and Bill a former Navy diver. I have provided a link to the discussion in the comment section. The occasional stigma surrounding veterans in the civilian workforce is unfortunate; and  unwarranted. 🌟 Veterans bring unparalleled qualities to the table – resilience, leadership, and a mission-focused mindset. Yet, misconceptions linger. The belief that veterans are too rigid or face potential challenges like PTSD overshadows their vast potential. This isn't just a loss for veterans; it's a missed opportunity for businesses. It's time we shift our perceptions and fully integrate these exceptional individuals into our corporate landscapes. After all, if they can lead missions in uncertain terrains, imagine what they can achieve in our organizations. #MilitaryVeterans #MilitaryTransition #MilitaryToCivilian #MilitaryFamilies Steve Doolittle Bradley Blakeman Gavin Naples aryeh katz Roger Brown Jim Whaley David Carnahan MD MSCE Doug "Odie" Slocum Omar Fuentes, CSPO®, CSM® John Stapleton, MBA, CMPE Michelle Mullany Eric Gardner Sonya Ziegler Meline

One of the best parts about being in the corporate workforce thinking through the Veteran point of view is realizing you have the choice to choose. You don’t always get a choice in the military, and you definitely don’t get to pick your bosses. The saying is absolutely true that people don’t quit their jobs, they quit their bosses. Thinking of it from the veteran point of view, you no longer have to deal with a company commander screaming at you because you didn’t have the right screwdriver for change of command inventory, or the colonel downgrading your award because you aren’t the rank they consider as eligible to receive the award that you deserve. You have a right to choose. If the company isn’t right for you, move on. You are a product of your environment. If your environment is not helping you succeed, go find the one that will. Find what makes you happy, find a place that actually wants you there. Go be great out there this week! #Military #MilitaryCommunity #MilitaryVeteran #TransitioningServiceMembers

"Why do general officers get paid board positions and not CSMs, Matt? It's not fair!" What's not fair about it, I asked. "They're using their influence and networks for opportunities." So can you. Look-- We 𝙘𝙝𝙤𝙤𝙨𝙚 our paths. Many choose to be "behind the flag". Others choose to build their own brands. It's not "𝘸𝘳𝘰𝘯𝘨" to build #personalbranding in the military. Oftentimes, opportunities are earned through how we're known -- and who knows us. What are you known for? Who know you? Remember-- Networking is 🔑! #QuickNote #Military #Networking
