Transition Assistance Coaching
Why Transition Assistance Coaching?
The Transition Assistance Program provided by the Department of Defense is only three days long. Five days long if you’ve been disabled.
It took longer than 3-5 days to make you a warrior. It’s going to take longer than 3-5 days to bring you back.
Now, before I tell you more about me, let me clear something up…
We’ve all had coaches, mentors and trainers before…we just called them Chief, Top, Sarge, Major, Colonel, General or Admiral.
Asking for help to transition from the military is NOT a sign of weakness! In fact, getting insight, a fresh perspective, and motivation from someone who has “been there, done that,” can be just what you need to find a new way to tackle a problem you’ve been having trouble overcoming.
My name is Deanna Wharwood and I’m an Air Force dependent daughter who went active duty in and the United States Navy.
As a dependent, I coached and mentored ”military brats” and spouses showing them how to adjust successfully to military life. I showed them how to access special programs, find extra money and helped them to address special needs.
On active duty, I lead my team, found resources, trained personnel, streamlined operations, managed budgets and made decisions with far reaching consequences. I did my duty, took care of my own and committed myself to the mission.
My father was on active duty for over twenty years, my brother was on active duty in the United States Army and even my mother did a stint with the Royal Air Force. Talk about transition pains! We are a family of veterans who had to help each other manage the transition.
As a former Fisher House Manager, it was part of my job to provide change management counseling and I continued to help military families adjust to new lives and provide for their special needs.
