Show Notes

Transitioning from military service to a civilian career is not about losing capability. It is about learning how to translate it.

In this episode, John S. Berry sits down with Josh Atkinson, Partner and Chief Strategy Officer of PM ProLearn, to explore how Veterans can build professional credibility while still in uniform. Josh explains why the challenge Veterans face is not a capability gap, but a credibility gap — and how certifications and industry frameworks help bridge that divide.

The conversation covers project management, professional certifications, leadership development, and why understanding civilian language, culture, and expectations is critical to long-term success. Josh also shares lessons on identity, trust-based leadership, and why Veterans should invest in themselves early instead of waiting until transition. This episode offers practical insight for active-duty service members, Guard and Reserve members, and Veterans preparing for their next chapter.
