198 JD Due - Transitioning in Life

Raymond A. Mason School of Business
About this episode

People in the business world have become acclimated to changing jobs and employers. It’s a different picture, though, for those serving in the military. For those in uniform, a change in career or employer is rare. And when the time comes to leave the military, the transition can be an overwhelming experience. That’s where William & Mary comes in. Next month, for the second time, William & Mary is hosting “Flourishing Through Life’s Transitions,” a two-week long certificate program that teaches transitioning military personnel how to flourish in their new careers and in their personal lives. JD Due is Executive Director of William & Mary’s Center for Military Transition, and joins us to talk about this unique and successful program that helps veterans and members of the intelligence community flourish in their transition and beyond. 

Learn how the Raymond A. Mason School of Business at William and Mary can help you and your organization develop your top talent through customized executive education and professional development programs. Visit us at www.wmleadership.com. Thank you for listening.
