Taking the Helm in a Crisis
Today, I want to share with you about Chapter 11 of my new book, From CO to CEO: A Practical Guide for Transitioning from Military to Industry Leadership.
I spend a lot of time in the book talking about the need to hit the reset button when you're transitioning from military to industry. But in this chapter, Taking the Helm in a Crisis, I share my own story from September 11 and explain the situations where your military expertise specific to crises can translate to your work in the industry space — and even set you up for better success than your non-military counterparts.

Every organization is structured to defend itself. Sometimes you'll find yourself in a difficult situation where you need to defend your organization against false blame. What should you do?

In the "Defending a Legacy," chapter, I share a couple of stories from my own experience that were extremely challenging. I also discuss how you should respond when you win the argument. Listen for more and pre-order your copy of the book at williamtotibook.com

Do you think your military title will be a help or a hindrance when you enter the civilian workforce?

Getting Hired
In this podcast, I share about Chapter 6 from my new book, From CO to CEO: A Practical Guide for Transitioning from Military to Industry Leadership. This chapter covers the mechanics of searching for a job, preparing your resume, interfacing with recruiters/head hunters, applying for the job, interviewing, negotiating compensation and accepting the offer.
In this sneak peek, I also reinforce a point I made in a previous podcast. You need to think less about what the current position offers and think more about where you want to be in 10-15 years and if this position helps you get there. It's an important distinction.

Knowing When to Make your Move
How much runway do you have left?
That's a question in the corporate world that may determine how much business owners are likely to invest time and money in developing you as an employee — or whether they hire you at all...
I cover this in Chapter 2 of my book "From CO to CEO: A Practical Guide for Transitioning from Military to Industry Leadership." The fact is the later you transition to the civilian workforce, the less time an employer has to get a return on investment, but that doesn't mean it's time to jump ship early.
The right answer's different for everyone, so check this out and learn more at williamtotibook.com
