CAREER PURSUIT 2021

RESOURCES 67 Our digital solutions provide hugely successful virtual meet-ups, networking opportunities, workshops, expert training, annual events, and resources, which are unlimited by location, enabling Milspo members to share experiences and champion each other to achieve their dreams. There are also opportunities to showcase your company, celebrate your successes, and support others who can learn from your business or military journey. The network is based on collaboration, not competition. It doesn’t matter what your business or background is, there’ll be someone in the network who can help you, and most probably someone who you can help. During the pandemic, the stresses of military life have become a catalyst in an already difficult time. With extra troop deployments to the front line on Covid response, and the usual operations continuing, we military SPOs find ourselves even more pressured. In the same way that the general population were homeschooling and adapting to the ‘new normal’, military families had the added strain of location moves, both in the UK and abroad as lockdown spread throughout the world. In response, Milspo stepped up our online meet-ups to cater to all partners posted worldwide, giving our members an essential link to ‘home’. "Being a member of The Milspo Business Network is more than being part of any other normal business network. These men and women understand the strain and sacrifices that come with military life. But more than that, they don’t use that as an excuse to not grow and fulfil their own dreams. There is relevant and useful information shared consistently. Instead of competition, there is only support, enthusiasm, and a whole network of people behind you moving towards the same goal and passions." Grace Selous Bull – The.Rainbow.Tree There’s an inspiring quote by Marian Wright Edelman that is at the heart of The Milspo Network: “You cannot be who you cannot see.” The Milspo Network is all about online connection and taking that community with you wherever you’re posted – we connect and support online through events, training, and mentoring all over the UK and beyond. We know that if you have access to others just like you, achieving their dreams despite the challenges that military life can throw, you will be inspired to do the same.

Having a place where like-minded people interact and support each other is so powerful, and some days I need to see other people doing great things to remind me that I too can achieve what feels like the unachievable!” Suzanne Pattinson – Soul Purpose Jewellery
