TRANSITIONING OUT OF THE MILITARY? THIS IS A ‘MUST-READ’ BOOK ON THE FUTURE OF WORK

Connie Steele is the co-founder of Flywheel Associates, a management consultancy in northern Virginia. She is also the creator and host of Strategic Momentum, a podcast that provides tips, stories, and advice from progressive executives and thought leaders on how to reach your full growth potential.

I first met Connie before the pandemic, at a women’s networking event in DC. We quickly found we had a lot in common, and we stayed in touch. When I read the book she is launching this month, I was blown away by it – and I knew it was something every servicemember transitioning out of the military could benefit from (as well as military spouses).

Connie has spent ten years studying workplace trends. Working at Fortune 500, start-up and scale-up organizations, high-growth tech companies, and consulting with C-level executives, Connie has seen firsthand that business isn’t the same as it once was. You don’t necessarily have to start at the bottom and earn your way up; you can start at the top, as CEO of you.

Building the Business of You explores the idea that the dream job isn’t any longer something you get – it’s something you create. The book provides practical tools, research, and anecdotes to help you build yours. 

This week, I chatted with Connie about her book, released February 11.
