Picture yourself stepping out of a military uniform after 22 years and trading your boots for a suit and tie. My guest, John Stephenson, Managing Director of the Forces Transition Group, did exactly that. In this episode we delve into his experience of resettlement and the emotions, challenges, and mistakes he sees others make when transitioning to civilian life.
John explains more about the unique terminology he uses - 'hunter' and 'sleepwalker', and the prejudices held by organisations when it comes to hiring service leavers. He offers insights on building a culture where people can thrive, aligning individuals with the overall mission, and leveraging the common traits of service leavers. We also discuss the importance of businesses understanding the 'military human' as well as how John managed to overcome resistance when implementing his ideas.
We also touch upon the crucial role played by families in supporting service leavers, the power of video and podcasting in aiding people to take control of their future share actionable tips to ensure you're able to write a compelling CV.
If you're a service member contemplating the leap or a civilian curious about the unique plight of transitioning veterans, don't miss this episode. Join us as John offers his valuable advice on transitioning out of the military and his call to action for those interested in joining the Forces Transition Group.
