Your ESEL Executive Coaches

Michele Lewis and Cyndi Po grew up as "military “brats." Their fathers decided to retire in the same area, Ft Bragg, NC, where they met and became friends n middle school.  Later, both became military spouses. Their lives took unique turns, with one family opting to stay in the service for the next 30 years and the other family opting to join the civilian corporate world.  Both embraced their life choices, became successful in their established fields, and were afforded the opportunity to travel and live worldwide. 

 

READ OUR STORY
"Michelle and Cyndi are exceptional at providing transitioning executive service members with beneficial classes, advice, and real-life examples of how to best transition. There are literally thousands of career options to choose from and they are experts at providing sound guidance for any chosen path. I also attended a DoL transition class. Michelle and Cyndi ARE THE GOLD STANDARD for the executive transition readiness seminar. "
- Brady Wentlandt 
"Simply put, the ESEL workshop was outstanding!  I attended executive TRS 5 years ago.  I had to go again since it has to be done within two years of the retirement date.  I thought I would be bored and not learn anything new.  I was wrong.  Michele and Cyndi know their stuff.  They brought relevant and current information about networking and the job market to class.  They discussed things like electronic business cards, how to tailor a resume using the TagCrowd website to determine key words in a job posting, and LinkedIn tips.  Their knowledge should be shared with anyone looking to find employment after life in the military.  I have recommended the Henderson Hall Executive TRS to countless colleagues since I attended last year."
- COL Bill Gray, (USMC)
"Transitioning from the military can be an overwhelming experience; however the ESEL workshop positions service members to be in the absolute best possible position for a post-military career.  As the former Deputy Commander for Joint Base Myer-Henderson Hall (JBM-HH), I have personally witnessed and had oversight of the two separate TRS programs on the joint base:  The Army's TRS program on the Myer Campus of JBM-HH and the Marine Corps program on the Henderson Hall portion of the joint base.  I can say with absolute certainty that the Marine Corps program is THE PREMIER program, not only on JBM-HH, but within the National Capital Region;  specifically as a direct result of the instruction provided by the ESEL workshop.  From my personal observations, conversations with ESEL alumni, and have had personally attended the ESEL workshop prior to my own retirement, the ESEL workshop at Henderson Hall is a far superior TRS program than its sister service counterparts around the National Capital Region.  "
- Mark Paolicelli (LtCol Marines)

Executive Speaker Panel

We want to give special thanks to our guest speakers. Each of these gentlemen brings a special message and expertise to the transitioning service members. Each has transitioned successfully into the civilian sector and has stories to share and advice to give. We encourage all transitioning service members to reach out to them through LinkedIn and connect.
