Military Transition Coaching

Develop your leadership potential whether advancing in military service or transitioning to civilian roles

Understanding Your Unique Position

As a military leader, you possess valuable leadership experience and skills. Whether you're looking to advance within military ranks or transition to civilian leadership roles, ongoing development of your leadership capabilities is essential for continued success. I can help you strengthen your leadership skills while staying in the military or support your transition to civilian leadership positions.

​

Military leadership development is an ongoing journey. My coaching supports both paths - helping you excel in current military roles through enhanced strategic thinking and team leadership, or successfully translating your military leadership experience into civilian contexts where the fundamentals remain the same but the application may differ.

​

My coaching follows a structured approach:

​

EXPLORE: Assess your leadership strengths, career goals, and opportunities for both military advancement and civilian transition

​

UNDERSTAND: Learn about leadership expectations and organizational cultures in your current military context or potential civilian roles

​

MASTER: Develop enhanced leadership skills applicable whether advancing in military service or transitioning to civilian leadership

"The coaching I received really helped me to evaluate my work values and personal vision outside of the military. After serving active duty for over fifteen years, the idea of being able to choose the kind of work environment I would like to be part of or the location I would like to live in was very daunting.

 

Her perceptive listening skills and ability to guide my thinking helped me develop, build confidence in my abilities and find a way forward. I highly recommend her coaching for any military professional or veteran.”
