Where do the spies, diplomats, soldiers, and FBI agents go when their formal service ends? For most of us, full retirement is not an immediate reality. The decision to leave or retire from government is hard Deciding what to do next is even harder.
Author and Career Coach Alison P. Bouwmeester served for 28 years as a senior leader in the Central Intelligence Agency's Directorate of Operations. After retiring from the CIA, she spent nearly a decade as a senior business executive in the defense contracting industry, rising to Vice President for Business Development. In 2018, Alison became a Certified Professional Career Coach and founded Futurity to coach others through successful career transitions as someone who has "walked the walk".
In this book, dozens of former intelligence, diplomatic, military and national security professionals share candid comments, valuable tips and sage advice.
Considering a job change? Pondering a second career? Thinking about potential retirement? This is your guide
Mission Transition is an essential career-change guide for any transitioning veteran that wants to avoid false starts and make optimal career choices following active duty.
Every year, about a quarter of a million veterans leave the military - most of whom are unprepared for the transition. These service members have developed incredible leadership, problem-solving, and practical skills that are underutilized once they reach the civilian world, a detriment to both themselves and society.
Well-intentioned Transition Assistance Programs and other support structures within the armed forces often leave veterans fending for themselves. The mission-first culture of the military results in service members focusing on their active duty roles in the year leading up to their separation, leaving them little time to adequately prepare to join the civilian world.
President of Purepost, a next-generation staffing solution and public benefits corporation, and author Matthew J. Louis guides military personnel through the entire process of making a successful move into civilian professional life.
In Mission Transition, this book will:
Guide you through the process of discovering what path you want to take going forward
Teach you the strategies that will make your rйsumй stand out
Provide suggestions to help you prepare for and ace the interview
Discuss ways to acclimate to your new organization's culture and pay it forward to other veterans
Each chapter includes advice from other veterans, illustrations of key concepts, summaries, and suggested resources. Let this well-written and easy to follow guidebook help you transition out from the military and commit to being successful in the next chapter of your life.

Описание:
As human beings, we will inevitably go through a life-changing event at some point in our life. It could be losing a job of 20 years, finalizing a divorce, being forced to retire early because of an injury, or leaving the military. These life-changing events can have disastrous effects on us and the people around us. Some of us never work through these events and end up unhappy and stuck in life. This happened to Nick when he left a 12-year career as a Marine Raider with the Marine Corps Special Operations Unit. For years, he was stuck with feelings of anger, indifference, and bitterness. Until he finally decided to take action and apply the skills he learned as a Raider and got to work on solving his personal problems.
The Excommunicated Warrior takes you through the journey of Nick's transition out of the Special Operations as he attempted to reintegrate into the civilian world. Through this journey, he identified 7 different stages of transition.
Nick quickly realized that these 7 stages were something most veterans had to go through and he launched a non-profit that focused on helping the nation's veterans transition out of the military. Soon, Nick started developing steps to work through the stages, all aimed at the military community. However, through various speaking engagements, it became clear that Nick's ideas about the 7 stages of transition applied to anyone, not just veterans. The stages applied to anyone that had gone through a life-altering event. This book outlines the 7 stages and how you can use them in your life. In short, the book is for anyone who has gone through a life-changing event and refuses to be a victim of circumstance. Anyone who decides to never quit, never surrender, and always move forward.
"The only thing that is constant is change," the Greek philosopher Heraclitus once said.
Change is not only essential; it is inevitable. It will happen, whether we like it or not. While change is what happens around us, Dr. Chris Bowen writes, transition is what happens in us as we respond to that change.
Writing with transparency and insight, Dr. Bowen tells the story of his own transition from a successful pastor to a sought-after entrepreneur and transitional leader. Throughout, he weaves principles he learned--sometimes the hard way--as he sought to reconcile the stirrings he was feeling in his heart with the success and fulfillment he was experiencing in his career and ministry.
Ultimately, his journey led him to find and prepare a successor, put in place an exit plan and take a leap of faith that would launch him into his destiny and change his life forever. Dr. Bowen challenges readers to evaluate their lives and take big risks, but he also provides them with a practical roadmap for achieving their dreams as they pursue their deepest passions.
Описание: You have spent many years in your career field and now are considering your next big move. Making that transition can be daunting. Where do you even start? I have been there and understand that it can be a scary process, especially if your goal is to start your own business. Many colleagues have asked me how I made the jump and what advice I can share with them. My goal with this workbook is to help you navigate the crucial thought process needed to develop a plan of action that will make you feel more confident and prepared for that big move. So what are you waiting for? Don't let fear and self-doubt hold you back. Let's get you started on that path

Leadership is one of the world's oldest professions. There are countless resources for one to learn about leadership and do in-depth study. In this book, my goal is not to provide a scholarly tome, but rather to provide emerging leaders simple messages for guidance and success. I do this through 140 simple messages that have helped me navigate life.
Why am I providing 140 messages, some have asked? Why not use traditional numbers, like five, ten, or 100? The answer is very simple. We are living at a time when Twitter and its 140-character limitation (now 280) is being used by leaders in all areas of life and at all levels of organizations. Some leaders are exemplary in their use of Twitter, and others less than exemplary. My goal is to leverage the zeitgeist we are living in to show how by using the limited characters allowed by Twitter, leaders can communicate strong messages that make a positive impact on people's lives. For that reason, this actionable leadership journal contains 140 Twitter-length messages written as a guide for emerging leaders on living, learning, and developing themselves and others on their journey to success.
Additionally, I have become convinced of the power of well-crafted short messages for another reason. I was a Forbes contributor for a year. As a member of the Forbes Coaches Council during that year, I contributed to thirty question-and-answer columns. The answers to the Q&As I submitted to Forbes were required to be 400 characters or fewer. This is slightly longer than Twitter's new 280-character limit. Some of the columns I appeared in were read by as few as 2,000 people. My most popular column, however, was read by more than 30,000 people. This clearly shows that people found value in our succinct messages and shared them with others. Hence, I believe there is value in the messages contained in this book designed to be an actionable leadership journal.
140 Simple Messages To Guide Emerging Leaders is part of the THiNKaha series, whose slim and handy books contain 140 well-thought-out AHA messages.
