Author and Coach, Brandon Jenkins, writes about transitions.

This year, my word is ๐™ฉ๐™ง๐™–๐™ฃ๐™จ๐™ž๐™ฉ๐™ž๐™ค๐™ฃ๐™จ.

For those who know me, that’s not surprising.

I’m transitioning out of the Navy after 22 years.
(26 if you count the Naval Academy)

And transitions come in all shapes and sizes:

  • Changing careers entirely
  • Stepping into greater responsibility
  • Relocating your family to a new community

Hereโ€™s one thing Iโ€™ve learned about transitions:

๐—ฌ๐—ผ๐˜‚ ๐—ฑ๐—ผ๐—ป’๐˜ ๐—ต๐—ฎ๐˜ƒ๐—ฒ ๐˜๐—ผ ๐—ฑ๐—ผ ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฒ๐—บ ๐—ฎ๐—น๐—ผ๐—ป๐—ฒ.

Iโ€™ve leaned heavily on my…

  • accountability group
  • coaches
  • friends
  • family

…not just for this transition, but for all the big ones.

They provide:

  • A sounding board when things feel overwhelming
  • Perspective to help me see the unseen
  • Challenge and support

Priceless.

Having the team can make all the difference.
