Beyond Success: A Working Session for Transitioning Service Members

You served. You succeeded. So why does what's next feel like you've lost your bearings?

You crushed the mission. Rank, ribbons, respect — earned. And now you're staring down transition — whether that's next month, next year, or ten years in the rearview — and everyone's telling you the same thing: "Get a job. Fast." Resume workshops. LinkedIn headshots. Networking events. All aimed at getting you re-employed as quickly as possible.

But here's what nobody's asking: Is fast the same as right?

Whether you're about to transition, just transitioned, or transitioned years ago and never actually stopped to ask "what would I love to be doing next" — this is for you. Transition isn't a 90-day window. For most of us, the real questions don't surface until well after the uniform's off, the job's landed, and the dust has settled.

If you've caught yourself thinking:

- "I'll figure out what I'd actually love after I land something" (or landed something years ago and still feel it)

- "Any job that pays is better than no job" — but a quiet voice pushing back

- "I used to love this" — and you can't pinpoint when that changed

- You're about to trade one uniform for another without ever asking whether it fits

...you're not behind. You're just about to skip the one step that matters.

This is a free, live, 60-minute working session — not a resume class, not a job fair, not a pitch. You'll work through 3 keys in real time and leave with 3 things in writing:

1. What's actually stirring in you — most veterans feel it but can't name it. We name it.

2. What you would love to be doing next — not the next logical rank, title, or "safe" civilian job. What lights you up, what matters most, what connects to your deeper purpose.

3. What's been standing between the two — the real obstacle, and it's almost never the one you think.

"I thoroughly enjoyed the Beyond Success workshop and was genuinely surprised by how much clarity I gained in just one hour. The exercises helped me envision a future version of myself I hadn't even considered before... MJ's passion for helping others create a vision for what's next was evident throughout the entire experience. I would absolutely recommend this workshop to anyone looking for fresh perspective and meaningful insight." R.D. LTC(Ret)


Your host: Coach MJ Vertido — U.S. Army veteran (Private to Lieutenant Colonel), Master's-prepared nurse, former healthcare CNIO, and cancer survivor. I retired from a 20+-year career and made the exact mistake I now help others avoid — jumping straight into "the next thing" without ever asking what I'd actually love. It took me years of post-transition to circle back and do this work myself. Everything I teach, I've lived first.

The room is intentionally small — space for real work, not a passive crowd. Attendees get access to a limited number of complimentary 30-minute Next Right Move sessions: a private 1:1 call to map the single most important move to close the gap you uncover here.

Snacks will be provided – so please register!

Live only. Bring yourself, an open and curious mind.
