What A Veteran Has To Say

"Stand Beside Them taught me how to set and attain my professional goals, as well as to accept some of the differences in the corporate environment. I began to embrace my military traits which make me an asset. Thanks to SBT and my coach Susanne Mueller, I realized my potential and what I can offer to the civilian world."

My Stand Beside Them coach was extraordinary and provided the confidential outlet I needed to help me understand the meaning of my transition from military service and chart a path forward. She helped me reframe challenges and increased my confidence and optimism about life after the military.

Best experience possible. Stephanie is amazing and Karin my coach is incredible. Could not be happier with them as an organization.

Matthew LaGrone

US Air Force Veteran

The coaching was invaluable. It helped me move forward with my education/career, and to see that I wasn't stuck in my life; the only way that was stuck was my way of thinking.

Johnson Wiley

US Marine Corps Veteran

Stand Beside Them taught me how to set and attain my professional goals, as well as to accept some of the differences in the corporate environment. I began to embrace my military traits, which make me an asset. Thanks to SBT and my coach Susanne Mueller, I realized my potential and what I can offer to the civilian world.

Rodney Bolton

US Air Force Veteran

Having a coach to draw out the necessary information in order to form a strategy is vital. The value I received from the coaching is life changing and boundless.. both in what it does for the veteran psyche and morale, and for our society by successfully incorporating a veteran into the employment mainstream. I absolutely recommend SBT coaching.

Edwin Peck

US Coast Guard Veteran

This form of weekly coaching with feedback was very helpful in exploring my neglected strengths and helped break through the detractors that would have normally held me back. Dawn kept me on track and continuously searching for alternate ideas based on my strengths and passions. I feel this has given me a great start into a new fulfilling career.

Steven Therrien

US Navy Veteran

I started to think outside the box and was able to make new connections. The coaching has been an invaluable experience that opened up new opportunities for me and my husband.

Simone Bolton

US Air Force Veteran Spouse

My coach helped me figure out what I actually wanted in my career. She was exceedingly patient and incredibly helpful. [She] helped me through the very difficult process of advancing my career in a direction I wanted. She did an amazing job!

Andrew Hummel

US Army Veteran

Before meeting my SBT coach Michele I was struggling to determine if I was on the right path with my professional life. I had recently completed a 30-year military career, and as many Veterans do, was wondering what direction I should take my professional career post-military. Michele worked with me, introducing me to techniques that allowed me to apply analytic methodologies and processes to determine what my career goals and expectations were. She also assisted me in defining my core competencies, exploring my professional interests and career paths, as well as discussing techniques to allow me to lead a more fulfilling and whole-life. Michele not only served as a guide and teacher through this process, but also as a trusted and reliable partner, whom I knew would provide me with honest feedback.
