About this Event
Your Next Mission: Business Ownership.
The discipline, leadership, and resilience you built in the military are the exact skills required to succeed in business. But making the leap from service member to CEO can feel overwhelming.
Join us for an inspiring 20-minute masterclass and Q&A with Diana Lakstutis, a U.S. Veteran and entrepreneur with Dream Realty. Diana will share her firsthand experience on how to seamlessly transition your military background into a thriving civilian career.
In this focused, high-energy session, you will learn:
- Translating Your Skills: How to map your military experience directly to entrepreneurial problem-solving and leadership.
- Building Confidence: Overcoming the "civilian transition" imposter syndrome and stepping into your power as a business owner.
- The Real Estate Pathway: Insights into why real estate and independent contracting are highly successful avenues for veterans.
- Networking for Success: How to build your civilian "squad" and leverage community resources to grow your new venture.
Who Should Attend?
- Veterans and active-duty military preparing for transition.
- Military spouses exploring flexible career paths.
- Anyone interested in real estate or launching a new business venture.
A Special Bonus: This exclusive presentation is hosted as part of the Veterans Raising Children Vision Health & Career Fair. Before or after Allison’s session, we encourage you to explore the vendor room, connect with local subject matter experts, and learn about the resources supporting our local veterans and community.
