Overview

 

Transitioning military veterans enter the workforce with diverse experiences and tremendous leadership capacity. Yet, reaching the potential benefit for both the firm and the veteran requires a considerably deeper understanding of what is necessary for success than either appreciates. This challenge is significant. In 2014, a survey conducted by Syracuse University’s Institute for Veterans and Military Families found that nearly half of veterans leave their first post-military position within a year. Both veterans and employers have to do more to improve success rates for both parties. This event explores these issues in detail. It offers actionable advice to active duty, currently transitioning, and seasoned prior-military and non prior-military professionals wanting to tap the potential of the military’s can-do, high integrity ethos in their organizations.

Benefits

The event brings together experienced Wall Street professionals and transitioning military persons for an exploration of how to keep prior military talent engaged, while providing organizations with the insights to reap the benefits.

Key Points

Success, impact, wealth – goals that every ambitious veteran craves. And like many young and motivated professionals out of college who are seeking Wall Street careers, they want results and they want these results fast. A lucky few achieve such, but for many, careers are long, winding roads with ups and downs. For veterans, understanding and managing one’s emotional self has parallels with going into a battle. Just as every veteran recognizes that ‘hope is not a strategy’, attendees should come away with a better appreciation that the ups and downs of joining the civilian workforce requires a well thought out strategy.

What You Will Learn

Attendees will gain better tools for assessing their ambitions, their passions, their strengths and weaknesses, and perhaps most importantly, their personal peeves that will almost certainly be triggered along their paths.

Attendees will delve into corporate cultures and gain a deeper appreciation of management styles, differing vantage points, and areas where conflict and dissatisfaction may arise.

Attendees will gain greater appreciation of how to increase probabilities of success and the importance of quality mentors.

Attendees will gain a better appreciation for the camaraderie and structure that they will quickly realize will be lacking from many civilian work cultures, and how to thrive in such an environment.

Who Should Attend

All non-military and prior service member professionals are welcome and encouraged to attend.
