Sometimes frustration is the first cousin to necessity

in regard to invention! I attempted almost a year to

contact the Veteran's Administration in Phoenix to

offer this program.

After ten months, I finally got an appointment.

What I found was the idea had a better chance of survival launched

by me as a private citizen than attempting to obtain approvals and

recommendations from VA departments.

So here I am . . .

This program is designed for our returning military

and veterans from 2000 to today. Although veterans

can be highly skilled, they may need time to decompress

and  to adjust to civilian life. We can lend a hand.

As a former USO (United Service Organization) entertainer,

I served our troops in the Northeast Command. The experience

taught me how much bringing a touch of "home" and understanding

means to our warriors.

 

Daily, the news spouts all the difficulties with job issues.

With current economic circumstances causing everyone

to be more conscious of their employment options, as an optimistic coach,

I say there's another way! I can offer another success factor to our military.

No red tape, no bureaucracy to deal with, just genuine interest and concern to support people to fulfill their goals and reach toward their dreams.

Sponsors and participant coaches are key success factors for this program.
