Where do the spies, diplomats, soldiers, and FBI agents go when their formal service ends? For most of us, full retirement is not an immediate reality. The decision to leave or retire from government is hard! Deciding what to do next is even harder. Author and Career Coach Alison P. Bouwmeester served for 28 years as a senior leader in the Central Intelligence Agency’s Directorate of Operations. After retiring from the CIA, she spent nearly a decade as a senior business executive in the defense contracting industry, rising to Vice President for Business Development. In 2018, Alison became a Certified Professional Career Coach and founded Futurity to coach others through successful career transitions as someone who has “walked the walk”. In this book, dozens of former intelligence, diplomatic, military and national security professionals share candid comments, valuable tips and sage advice. Considering a job change? Pondering a second career? Thinking about potential retirement? This is your guide!
