    The Most Effective Advice!

    “I received transition advice from multiple sources and Jacey's counsel was, far and away, the most effective. Her knowledge of professional employment trends in both the public and private sector well surpassed anyone I encountered during my transition. Her advice and counsel is especially helpful for retiring O6s attempting to enter the civilian workforce in an executive track position.”

  • AI is a great research tool for job hunters. But it does not have enough data on senior military officers or GO/FO to predict keywords, value propositions, and cultural norms. We help you navigate the unspoken rules of the job hunt at your level so you don’t miss out on the best opportunities.

  • You have spent your entire adult life succeeding in the military because you understand the culture, the demands and the strategy required to do it all. The civilian world is different. Even if the company is in the defense industry, there are different rules, different roles, different language, and a completely different power base. Coaching helps you define what you want and win others over.

  • When you first get out, everyone wants to talk to you. They are full of messages about what you should do, what you shouldn’t do, and how much you should charge. Then the phone goes quiet. The emails dwindle. You aren’t sure you are suited to do any of the work out there. Now what?

    Now you start the real work of your Third Mountain—the part of your career where there is both meaning and money.

  • Not only can we show your service member how to get back on track in their job hunt, we can also help you see that you are a big part of the solution, too. The two of you didn’t get this far in life without working together. Get back to your happily ever by getting the insider coaching you need now.
