un-TAP'ed

A Guide to Faith, Family and Life After the Military

un-TAP'ed by Michele Lewis and Cyndi Posusney was written to address what most transition programs don’t—the moments after the checklist ends. Built around the power of the 2 a.m. friend, this book reminds leaders that connection saves lives and that asking for support is an act of strength, not weakness.

This isn’t about leaving service behind.
It’s about choosing to stay connected—and stay here.

Executive Panel

ESEL Seminars 3-Day Event

Our executive panel comprises distinguished veterans who have successfully transitioned from senior military leadership to impactful civilian and corporate roles. Each speaker brings more than expertise—they bring lived experience, hard-earned perspective, and a willingness to share the lessons that matter most during transition.

These leaders understand the challenges, the identity shift, and the decisions that shape life after service. Their insight helps bridge the gap between military leadership and civilian success, offering clarity, candor, and practical guidance to those preparing for the next chapter.

We encourage transitioning service members to continue the conversation—connect with our panel speakers on LinkedIn and engage with leaders who remain committed to giving back.

What People Are Saying

"The 3-day 374 Consultants' Employment Strategies for Executive Leaders (ESEL) seminar was the most impactful part of our Executive Career Transition Seminar. I suggest it be expanded, given the breadth and depth of their expertise and offerings. I would pay to attend a weeklong retreat led by 374 to really dive deep into their processes, my objectives, and way forward." 

John Caldwell, Colonel, USMC

"This was eye-opening to me!!! ABSOLUTELY valuable! I will take it again to ensure I have fully internalized the lessons! Michele and the guest speakers were awesome!!! Not to overstate this, Michele is absolutely amazing! Knowledgeable, passionate, and genuine!"

"The ESEL Seminar exceeded all my expectations. It’s more than just a transition event, it’s about building meaningful RELATIONSHIPS and gaining actionable insights from professionals who truly care. Engaging with industry leaders and fellow transitioning service members was inspiring and motivating. The seminar bridges the gap between military and civilian opportunities, leaving you excited for the future. Cyndi and Michelle are absolute ROCKSTARS! " 

Trent Clark

"Michele and Cyndi were simply phenomenal.  Exceptionally enthusiastic, genuine, and knowledgeable.  They created a positive environment that encouraged questions and generated important conversations.  Their offers of continued assistance after the course was invaluable.  Knowing I can reach out to them with questions as I seek new employment is a game changer.   Their "why" for teaching this course is incredibly compelling.  I would enthusiastically recommend this course to any senior military folks as they prepare for transition.  These ladies are all-stars!     " 

Tom Cleaver

"Cyndi and Michele are exceptionally knowledgeable and engaging instructors and mentors.  Combined with the practical exercises, namely the elevator pitch and mock interview exercises, this seminar was hands down, THE best "how-to" for transitioning military senior leaders. "
