A selective program for senior enlisted (E-8 and above) and senior officers (O-5 and above) making the move into civilian senior roles. Ten to twelve peers, six months, the curriculum and the room.
Four moving pieces. Six months. One room of senior peers running the same play at the same time.
Capped at twelve seats. Every seat is filled by a senior NCO (E-8/E-9) or a senior officer (O-5/O-6 and above). Selective by design. The room is the program.
One ninety-minute working session per month for six months. Dakhalfani Boyd facilitates. Each month covers one piece of the operating system through a peer-audit format, not a lecture.
One additional sixty-minute live office-hours session per month. Bring the offer in front of you, the email you need to send, the conversation you are about to have. The principal works the live question.
An asynchronous private space available across the six months. Senior peers running the same transition reading each other's situations in real time, between sessions. The room outside the room.
Two paths in. Same room. Senior enlisted at E-8 and above, or senior officers at O-5 and above, transitioning to civilian Director-and-above roles, federal GS-14 through SES positions, or board seats. And new GS-15s, new SES, and new VPs in their first twelve to twenty-four months in role. The cohort is calibrated to that altitude. The work, the language, and the peer audit operate at the same register regardless of which path brought you in.
This is not the TAP-class transition. It is not the first-job-after-uniform conversation. The cohort is built for the leader who has commanded, briefed flag officers, run programs of consequence, and is now translating that into an entirely different operating environment.
The specific deliverables across the six months. Concrete, not vague.
Ninety minutes each. Facilitated by Dakhalfani Boyd. Recorded and made available to the cohort for review.
Sixty minutes each. Live questions, real situations, immediate reads. Bring what is in front of you that week.
Asynchronous space for the full six months. Senior peers reading each other's situations between sessions.
The eight-module self-paced track is included with every cohort seat. Work through it on your own time, in any order.
The negotiation worksheets, the ninety-day operating plan, the structural-read template, the network build tracker.
At month six, each participant presents their twelve-month operating plan and receives a full peer read from the cohort.
By month six, every participant carries the same operating equipment. The cohort sharpens it. The room makes it survive contact.
The application is the first reading. Take your time with it. We respond to every application personally.
The application is the first reading. The questions below are how we assess fit, calibrate the room, and decide who sits next to you for the six months.
All responses are confidential. Some questions are required, the rest help us understand the read. Take your time.
