“Inspired by Sebastian Junger’s call for combat veterans to share their experiences with all Americans, Matt Morgan set out to create an environment where vets would feel comfortable doing just that. He knew that the combat experience wasn’t the kind of thing you presented in a TED Talk, and while books like Redeployed or A Rumor of War have become classics, very few vets truly ever feel their time in uniform was so unique that they should write a memoir. Yet, every combat vet has a story, and in most cases, if asked, they’d share it with a fellow vet. That’s how Crossroads was born. It’s two vets talking war stories. There just happens to be a mic there. So you can listen in.”

An encore performance of Angie Morgans great words of encouragement for Leaders who are transitioning.
A New York Times best selling author of the book “hat the “spark” is. She answers the question “how do I increase the spark” and “what do I do with the spark”?
Retention issues and no morale are all symptoms of poor leadership and it’s ALL OVER the civilian world! Hear Angie discuss how you have THE skills they’re looking for.
Angie discusses “managing” your leadership “style” in the civilian world because the word “Marine” has lots of stereotypes associated with it. Recognize it and spend some effort to let them know that we’re ok by being a great ambassador of what it is to be a Marine.
AWESOME STUFF!!!!!!

QUESTION: thoughts on “marines united.”
QUESTION: What skills that you learned in the Marine Corps translate to the civilian management world and what skills don’t translate?
QUESTION: Would it surprise you to know that MOST of what you’ve practiced as a Leader of Marines translates into civilian management?
QUESTION: Would it surprise you to know that you’ve studied “leadership” at the best leadership academy in the world?
Great conversation with Will Costantini.
