VSO is very excited to announce this month's veteran highlight! Meet Kendra Moore, a 5 year U.S. Army Veteran turned Associate System Administrator. We asked Kendra some questions about her time in the military and the insights she gained while in service: Q: Why did you decide to serve? A: After the events of 9/11, I felt a deep sense of duty and decided to serve my country. It became clear to me that this was how I could contribute and make a meaningful difference during a time of national need. Q: What was your life in the Army like? A: As an Air Defense Artillery officer in the military, I had the unique opportunity to work in a highly technical role that is exclusive to the military. I found great satisfaction in the specialized nature of the job, which allowed me to apply advanced technical skills in ways that are not commonly found in civilian careers. Q: What workforce skills did you develop while in the military? A: During my time in the military, I developed a range of essential workforce skills that have greatly contributed to my professional growth. I honed my time management abilities by balancing multiple responsibilities and ensuring that tasks were completed efficiently and on schedule. Conflict resolution became a key skill as I learned to navigate challenging situations and mediate differences in high-pressure environments. My communication skills were sharpened through daily interactions with diverse teams, where clear and effective communication was crucial. #VetsInTech #VeteranWorkforce #EmployeeFeature

Setting goals is widely acknowledged as a fundamental aspect of achieving success in any endeavor. While goal setting is essential, it is often the easier part of the journey. The real challenge lies in charting the path toward those goals and maintaining the discipline to stay on track; it requires unwavering commitment, perseverance in the face of obstacles, and a true passion for the journey. Veterans possess extensive experience in goal setting, planning, and discipline due to their military service. While they may have a clear vision of what they want to achieve, Veterans often need more knowledge and resources to navigate the civilian job market effectively. The Catalyst can close that gap and provide access to valuable resources, mentorship, and tailored guidance. The program will help to identify transferable skills, align goals with the job market, and develop a strategic plan for success. By leveraging their industry leaders' expertise and fellow Veterans' experiences, participants acquire essential knowledge and skills to excel in their desired careers. If you are transitioning out of the military soon, facing a recent layoff, uncertain about job security, simply looking to advance your career or become a better leader, let's have a conversation about positioning you for success. It doesn't cost you anything besides a small investment of your time.

This was one of the most honorable classes I conducted in a while, interacting with over 60 defense personnel from Indian Army, Airforce and Navy. These are men and women who have served our forces for 10 to 25 years and are now rearing for a second inning in the world of corporate. My session was on #DesignYourCareer, an apt topic for the business at hand. Here're the key insights: 1) Know your prime mover (fear, greed, duty or love) 2) Discover your flow channel (where you lose the sense of time) 3) Invest in high-leverage activities (assets offering compounding returns) 4) Sweat your assets (by building content and honing connects), and 5) Pursue financial independence, for it keeps you intellectually honest. Much thanks to Padmini Srinivasan and Shainesh G for the opportunity.

Does your military transition or career pivot ever feel like you are going the wrong way? It did for me a few times. ❌️ #dodskillbridge opportunity denied. A bunch of interviews at various levels and was ghosted 👻 Not understanding how to best translate my military skills and experience into applicable civilian terms. How did it change? When I finally decided to ask people about resources and support. There are so many that were available and beneficial. I found a mentor via American Corporate Partners (ACP). I started attending events hosted by 50strong and VETS2INDUSTRY. Now I would now add MilCruit events to that list as well. I networked with people in the industry I wanted to learn more about. I utilized #linkedin to learn from people like Lori Norris, Delaina Morse, and Joel Martycz. I started to help others understand about what I had learned. Know there is a lot of support available and you are not alone. What resources, organizations, and support recommendations do you have or did you use? #networking #military #veteran

𝗡𝗮𝘃𝗶𝗴𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: 𝗔 𝗩𝗲𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗻’𝘀 𝗝𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗻𝗲𝘆 𝗕𝗲𝘆𝗼𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗨𝗻𝗶𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺 Transitioning from military to the civilian world is more than just a change in jobs—it’s a shift in 𝙞𝙙𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙞𝙩𝙮, 𝙥𝙪𝙧𝙥𝙤𝙨𝙚, 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙘𝙤𝙢𝙢𝙪𝙣𝙞𝙩𝙮. After 18 years of service, I’ve walked that path, and I’ve seen firsthand the challenges veterans face in finding their place in a new world. The skills we honed in the military—leadership, resilience, teamwork—are invaluable, yet translating them into civilian terms can be daunting. But remember, the journey is not one you have to walk alone. Support systems, whether through coaching, mentorship, or peer networks, are out there to guide us. As we take off the uniform, we don’t leave our values behind. Instead, we bring them forward to build new legacies. Let’s embrace this transition as an opportunity to redefine success on our own terms. #VeteranTransition #LifeAfterService #VeteranSupport #MilitaryToCivilian #ResilienceInTransition #NewBeginnings #ChristianLifeCaoch
