REFLECTION
As I look forward to where I am headed next professionally I am also looking back on the past to see which skills from my prior careers transferred to my new ones. I notice that many skills build atop one another as we go through life.
For example I'll just say that my first career before law enforcement was playing high school football, where I learned hard work and determination. That hard work and determination, once I got into law enforcement, led me to become one of the top graduates of my academy class. Also led me to positions on elite units within our agency. Those positions developed confidence, strengthened determination, independent thinking, teamwork, and attention to detail. When I left law enforcement, those skills helped me realize an entirely different world, the business world, in which if you'd asked me five years ago, I'd say that I had no chance of being successful as a business person.
What's the one skill from your old career (W-2, military, law enforcement) that you didn't realize would carry over?
