The key lies in aligning these skills with the goals and needs of the corporate environment. #Veterans #MilitarySkills #Leadership #CorporateCareers #CareerTransition #VeteranSupport

I'm the person I wish I knew in the military. Someone who could educate me, even when I didn't know I needed it. Look-- I didn't know... ❌ the value of industry credentials ❌ the CAPM, PMP, or others certifications were ❌ what Project Management Institute was until late 2021 I was in the US Army, so I (𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘭𝘪𝘮𝘪𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘪𝘯 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘐) knew... ✅ what WLC, BLC, ALC, SLC, and The NCO Leadership Center of Excellence and Sergeants Major Academy are ✅ what ADP 6-22, Army Leadership and the Profession is ✅ exactly what the Association of the United States Army - AUSA did! Now... I'm replacing that "I didn't know" with "aha moments" by educating others. But, My schedule fills up quickly, because I've limited my in-person travels. So... Want to learn about #ProjectManagement Want to learn about being #JobReady   Want to learn about #certifications Send me a LinkedIn message or email. I can educate small, medium, and large groups. And I'll bring 𝘼𝘾𝙏𝙐𝘼𝙇 project professionals with me 😎 It's #MyWhy The next step in on you The proverbial ball's in your court #QuickNote #BringItBack

After years of leading complex military operations and now pursuing my PMP certification with Institute for Veterans and Military Families - IVMF , I've noticed something fascinating about project management in both worlds. Military experience taught me invaluable lessons you won't find in any PMBOK guide - like how to manage resources when plans go sideways at 0300, or how to lead teams under extreme pressure. That said, PMP training has given me a structured framework to translate these battlefield-tested skills into corporate language. The military trains you to be adaptable, decisive, and mission-focused. The PMP teaches you standardized methodologies and stakeholder management. Together? They're a powerful combination. To my fellow veterans: Your military experience is more valuable than you might think. Those risk management skills you developed planning missions? They're gold in civilian project management. To my civilian colleagues: Some of the best project managers I know never opened a textbook - they learned in the field, making real-time decisions when failure wasn't an option. The bottom line? Both paths have their merits. The key is recognizing how they complement each other. #VeteransInTech #ProjectManagement #PMP #MilitaryTransition #Leadership

Similarities between The Academic and The Former Elite Military Operator? My view: During recent tasks that I planned with, and executed for, CEO's, managing directors and other SMT level staff, it became clear that there are countless interfaces between the planning and execution skills of both parties. These interfaces surfaced during direct meetings, briefings, consultations, and other interactions with senior management teams within organizations. In regard to strategic planning, risk management, crisis response, training & development, PR and image management our noses were generally pointing in the same direction. The Academic and the Operator arrived at similar points of view following completely different paths in education, training and work experience. Striking to realize how these contrasting backgrounds merge into similar thought patterns and solutions, and emphasize the value of the Former Military operator for the commercial world. It is important to note that the extent of the interface between commercial management and the security specialist with military background may vary depending on the organization's nature, industry, and level of requirements. Nonetheless it has opened the way for a constructive and fruitful cooperation between these two worlds. #leadership #militarycommunity #cooperation #securityprofessionals #seniormanagement #goals #productive #results

Army Experience Last Tuesday, 9th of July, our colleagues from four different courses — Innovative Project Management, Management, Sales Management, and Marketing — participated in practical activities guided by U.S. Army. These activities were designed to simulate challenges commonly encountered by the U.S. Army, emphasizing strategy, leadership, decision-making, and effective communication. Throughout these challenges, we gained valuable insights into resource management. We improved on our perception that both excess resources and resource scarcity can impact project success as well as set the most appropriated resource according to the needs can make the difference. Striking the right balance is crucial. Additionally, we encountered constraints that evolved during the journey toward achieving each challenge’s objective, that sometimes were modified by U.S. Army during the execution of the exercise. Change management plays a significant role during project execution. This experience provided ample amazing inputs for thought, leading to meaningful reflections for all participants! #Akron #ProjectManagement #AkronUniversity #Challenges
