Executive Transition: A Disciplined Path from Service to Civilian Leadership

Leaving military service after decades of leadership isn’t the hard part.

Figuring out what comes next—without guessing, rushing, or feeling like you’ve lost your edge—is.

Executive Transition: A Disciplined Path from Service to Civilian Leadership is a comprehensive, self-paced program designed exclusively for senior military leaders and SOF professionals who are ready to move into civilian leadership roles with clarity, confidence, and control.

This is not a résumé class.
It’s not a job board.
And it’s definitely not a “hope this works out” transition plan.

This course treats your transition the same way you treated complex missions in uniform:
with structure, preparation, and disciplined execution.

What This Course Actually Does

This program walks you step by step through the entire executive transition process—from mindset to offer—so you stop reacting and start making intentional decisions.

You will learn how to:

  • Translate decades of leadership into language civilian organizations understand

  • Build a professional network that creates opportunity instead of awkward conversations

  • Clarify what you want now—not what looked good on paper ten years ago

  • Create resumes and professional messaging that reflect executive-level impact

  • Navigate interviews, compensation discussions, and offers with calm confidence

  • Make decisions aligned with your values, family, and long-term goals

And you’ll do it without panic, without guesswork, and without trying to become someone you’re not.

Why This Is Different

Most transition programs are built for volume.
This one is built for leaders.

This course assumes:

  • You already know how to lead

  • You don’t need motivation—you need clarity

  • You want a system, not noise

  • You value professionalism over platitudes

It respects your time, your experience, and your intelligence.

And yes—there’s humor. Because if you can’t laugh at the process occasionally, you’re probably doing it wrong.

The Outcome

By the end of this course, you will:

  • Know exactly where you fit in the civilian market

  • Communicate your value clearly and confidently

  • Approach networking, interviews, and offers as a peer—not a job seeker

  • Make informed decisions instead of rushed ones

  • Transition with your leadership identity intact

In short, you’ll stop wondering “Am I doing this right?”
and start moving forward with purpose.

Who This Course Is For

This program is designed for:

  • Senior military leaders (O-5 through Flag/General Officers)

  • Senior NCOs and Warrant Officers transitioning into executive roles

  • SOF leaders preparing for high-impact civilian careers

  • Leaders who refuse to wing the most important career transition of their lives

If you’re looking for shortcuts, this isn’t it.
If you’re looking for clarity, discipline, and confidence—welcome.

Final Thought

You didn’t build a career in uniform by guessing.

Don’t wing your transition.

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.
