Why you need this:
- Most veteran hiring programs are for young troopers and junior officers, not for you
- Many companies don’t know what to do with us … and we tend not to help them very much
- Think about this: Companies take a much higher risk in hiring you – bigger salary, bigger role = bigger risk of expensive fall out if you are not a good fit.
- Many of our predecessors have not exactly covered themselves in glory – bad senior hires have a much larger impact than bad junior hires.
- You need ways to help them see you as a low-risk, high-payoff hire who can add clear and compelling value to the organization.
Why Listen to Chris?
- I've walked a mile in your boots and made every mistake that I'll help you avoid -- let my painful journey be your short-cut to success and your defense against expensive mistakes.
- I’ve been in their shoes – I am also very selecting about bringing people into my business. My name, reputation, and livelihood are attached to it … I have rejected highly qualified people, too.
- I know the real-world objections you are likely to face
- I know the time-tested process for getting the right attention from the right people and how you can apply it as you search for a second career.
- I’ve learned that you have to know yourself beyond the military in order to find a second career you love.

Course Outline
Module 1: Determine your WHO - your Servant Leader Archetype [don't worry, you don't need to take the MBTI or other personality test again].
Step 1. Learn about SLA's PROM Servant Leader Archetypes [this will help you target the right roles].
Step 2. Read the eBook, Build Winning Teams [you'll learn about the healthy, average, and unhealthy versions of each Archetype].
Step 3. Determine your Servant Leader Archetype [When you know your PROM Servant Leader Archetype, you can seek roles that play to your natural strengths. You will have more energy at work and at home and a much happier second career.]
Step 4. Watch the Videos on each Archetype.
Step 5. Work it in - what your Servant Leader Archetype means to you and your next career.
Rookie Mistake: Being the "I can do it all" utility infielder. You are more likely to land a soul-sucking job. Instead, seek roles that play to your natural strengths.
Module 2. Your HOW - the Values and Principles that Drive you and that help you find the Right employer [you don't want to wind-up in a place where you feel out-of-place].
Step 1. Determine the Principles and Values that Drive You. [This simple self-assessment uses the stoics' 4 Cardinal Virtues. This tools helps you define your HOW].
Step 2. Define your Ideal Workplace Culture. [This tools helps you determine what kinds of company culture you will find appealing and what will turn you off.]
Step 3. Work it in - What your HOW means to your career and prospect search.
Rookie Mistake - Failing to be intentional about the values and culture you want in your next job. You are at high risk of finding a toxic or unfulfilling workplace. That would suck. Instead, be specific about the culture and values you seek.
Module 3. Develop your post-military WHY [It's so important and easier than you think].
Step 1. Develop your WHY. [What is the compelling purpose that you seek in your next career?]
Step 2. Working it in - Define what your WHO, HOW, and WHY mean for your next career.
Rookie Mistake: Seeking a paycheck rather than a new calling. This mistake means you will spend your time looking back in nostalgia rather than forward to your next calling. Instead, be intentional about your purpose and calling for the send half - or two-thirds - of your professional life.
Module 4. Create your Authentic Value Proposition [This module alone will get you off the Resume-Interview-Rejection hamster wheel].
Step 1. Introduction to AVP and why it's more powerful than your Resume.
Step 1a. Read Bill Cates' Radical Relevance [It's free on Kindle Unlimited].
Step 2. Gather the facts for your AVP [We'll show you how to turn your military outcomes into private-sector-relevant stories].
Step 3. Write your AVP. [Do this well and you can write your resume in crayon].
Rookie Mistake. Focusing on experience over value. Which would you hire the plumber with 30 years of experience and no testimonials or relevant success measures or the one with 5 years of experience, great testimonials, and awesome quality of work? Instead, help people see the value you can bring. The unsuccessful tout their experience; the moderately successful explain their credentials. The most successful highlight their value to others.
Module 5. Develop your Top Prospects [No more spray-and-pray marketing of your resume].
Step 1. Identify your Best-Fit Connections.
Step 2. Organize your top connections.
Step 3. How to use LinkedIn to build a relevant network.
Step 4. Interview your Best-Fit Connections with these Questions [This helps you become the sniper].
Step 5. Get Introductions to the Right People [This simple method gets you in front of the right prospects].
Rookie Mistakes. Spraying-and-Praying your resume all over social media and job peddling sites. Your resume is more likely to land in the C-File rather than the C-Suite. Instead, treat prospecting like a targeting drill. Hunt the right prospects like a sniper.
Module 6. Handle Rejection Traps and Negotiate Effectively [Avoid getting tripped up at the finish line].
Step 1. The Most Important Question to Ask your Interviewer. [Here's a way to stack the odds in your favor.]
Step 2. Prepare for these Interview Traps. [Smart employers put obstacles in your way to see how well you can deal with them.
Step 3. Negotiate Effectively. [You have leverage, use it to get the salary and benefits you and your family deserve.
Rookie Mistakes. Being unprepared for basic and advanced interview traps. Instead, rehearse like the professional that you are.
