1. Broadening Options

=======================

Thanks for signing up for our newsletter.
There are so many transitioning strategies
I’d like to share with you. Each of us experience
different adjustment periods when we leave the military.

A few of us know the right people to get hired when we
become a civilian. Some of us have an initial culture
shock and are able to adjust with little or no problems.
Many of us are totally blown away at the fact that we
no longer have the structured life we became accustomed
to living in the military. Either way, we all can use
different options to help guide us through our career
change.

How can we move on despite what we may have experienced
in the military? The answer is not always apparent yet it has
a resonance to it. “We have to make different choices with
different thinking”. Wow, you may ask, “How do we do that?”
Below are a few steps you may want to consider as you
embark on your voyage of becoming a civilian.

Start reading different material than what you are used
to reading.

- Go in Borders or Barnes and Noble and venture
off in into sections you would normally not visit.

- If you are overseas or in a desolate area and have
access to the internet, search on different topics
you wouldn’t normally search on. (Recommend going
through the book subjects online at Barnes and Noble
or Amazon.com).

- Order audio books (CD or cassette) where the speaker
discusses a different topic you may not normally
purchase. (Management is a good topic).

- Write down your goals and dreams and don’t hold back.
Next write down what it will take to get there and take action.

- Write me for a no obligation, complimentary coaching
session. During this session, we both will take a look at
your goals and what you’d like to achieve.

- Join local civilian organizations or play sports on a
civilian team. (Bowling, softball, pool, basketball, etc.)

- Take a career assessment and find out where your
strengths are and capitalize on your strengths by setting course
on an occupation that possesses them. We offer career
assessment packages. See our website
at http://www.veteransinmotion.com/ .

**Treat yourself to a free seminar. The below link
is worth $1790 for two people to attend a seminar.
Check out the link and see if there is a seminar
near you. This would be a good tool to
help with your internal process with leaving
the military.
