On Veterans Day, I had a great talk with Corie Weathers about the challenges our veterans, their families, and our active duty military members are facing as we transition from two decades of war. Based on more than 15 years of research,
Military Culture Shift offers insights from the counseling office as well as perspectives on the effect
of Department of Defense budget decisions, changes in generational views of authority, and emerging social trends within the military
community post-9/11.
Whether you are a military leader, historian, politician, educator, counselor, service member, or family member, Military Culture Shift
will encourage you to understand and embrace:
• How past decisions have led to the current state of wellness
• Generational differences in motivation and views of authority
• Ways in which learning styles impact training
• Why families aren’t turning up for in-person and social events
• Communication shifts that impact cohesiveness
• Information distribution strategies that help
• Leadership strategies to influence positive changes going
forward
