The ability to talk face-to-face with someone who has gone through what many Wyoming veterans have isn't something that just anyone can do. From active-duty, tours of duty, family struggles, returning from battle, and trying to ease back into a civilian lifestyle after all of that, it isn't as easy to understand and give advice unless you've been there yourself and dealt with those issues.

Enter the organization Veterans Talking To Veterans.

Veterans Talking to Veterans is an initiative of Mentor Agility that empowers veterans to become certified coaches, lead community groups, and foster resilience and growth among fellow veterans. Mentor Agility is an NBHWC- and ICF-accredited training organization that provides advanced coaching education rooted in storytelling and trauma-informed practices

If you chose the military, there's a chance that slogans like "Be all that you can be," or "The few, the proud," "It's not just a job, it's an adventure," or "Aim high, fly-fight-win," were the inspiration that helped you decide what your mission was going to be. When you finished your military service, you may have been searching for another slogan that leads you into your next mission.

If so, how about "become a Veterans Talking To Veterans coach and transform your military and life experiences into hope, leadership, and community strength for your brothers and sisters in arms."
