Separating from the Military can create many unknowns, but a sense of confidence is one thing that nearly all veterans carry with them. Although confidence is a skill needed to maintain resilience, being overconfident can have a negative impact on your overall success. Michael Quinn talks about his transition from the military and many of the challenges he had to overcome, one was being overly confident in his accomplishments from the military and how his skills and experience would directly translate to corporate America. After many trials and errors, failures and lessons learned, Michael discovered how he had to change, shift his focus, and put more intentional efforts in his approach to achieve success.
