If you cannot attend an ESEL seminar in person, this online seminar is the next best thing. Here, we cover the same subject matter that we cover in our 3-day seminar, but at your own pace. The information is available to revisit when you want or need to.

If you have attended an in-person seminar, this online seminar is a great tool for refreshing your mind about the transition process and staying on top of your detailed plan. During the 3-day seminar, it can often feel like you are drinking from a firehose of information. Joining this online version of the seminar allows you to take it at your own pace and revisit the information as you progress through your transition.

Participants will have access to live webinars and one-on-one coaching opportunities with our executive career coaches.

What People Are Saying:

The ESEL Seminar exceeded all my expectations. It’s more than just a transition event, it’s about building meaningful RELATIONSHIPS and gaining actionable insights from professionals who truly care. Engaging with industry leaders and fellow transitioning service members was inspiring and motivating. The seminar bridges the gap between military and civilian opportunities, leaving you excited for the future. Cyndi and Michelle are absolute ROCKSTARS!

Trent Clark

The best executive seminar you could possibly attend. Other TAPS courses advertise as executive level, but Cyndi and Michele’s course is the real deal!

Cyndi and Michele put together an outstanding program that offers tremendous value to transitioning service members. There is a lot of information to process and it is reassuring to know they are with us every step of the way. My understanding of the challenges that lie ahead is better following the NEXUS ESEL and my confidence in my ability to meet those challenges has improved as a result of my participation in NEXUS ESEL.

Chris C

I feel far more prepared to approach my transition out of the service after completing the ESEL course. I was dreading the change, but after coaching from Michele, my outlook has changed completely. I'm excited for what the future holds and I feel confident that I will succeed!

Amanda

Michele and Cyndi were simply phenomenal. Exceptionally enthusiastic, genuine, and knowledgeable. They created a positive environment that encouraged questions and generated important conversations. Their offers of continued assistance after the course was invaluable. Knowing I can reach out to them with questions as I seek new employment is a game changer. Their "why" for teaching this course is incredibly compelling. I would enthusiastically recommend this course to any senior military folks as they prepare for transition. These ladies are all-stars!

Tom Cleaver

ESEL has been a game-changer for my transition. Their expert guidance is helping me increase efficiency and drive growth toward a future career. I highly recommend ESEL to any transitionee looking to elevate their performance and achieve their goals.

Kareem Terrell

Even as a spouse attending with my Marine who will be retiring, every piece of information was useful and relevant. I would not have wanted to miss a single segment.
