Stronghold Leadership's purpose is to maximize the value of the veteran community through focused training on how to get stuff done.

“My retirement from the Air Force and transition over to this program has been phenomenal. The support I have received and knowing that the program will challenge me to grow and develop leadership skills even more is rewarding and exciting. I am looking forward to completing the program and the future possibilities it presents.
“Greencastle Consulting has truly invested in us as Stronghold Leadership fellows and it is obvious in the layout of the program. We have hit the ground running with certifications and training for the first three weeks of the Stronghold fellowship. This is deliberately set up for us to apply these concepts with clients and on real projects immediately following the training and certifications. There is no opportunity like this anywhere else!
“Transitioning is a stressful time for any service member. Being around veterans who have all faced the same challenges during a transition, helped so much. Greencastle and the team at Stronghold Leadership understand this process and have made it an easy transition. Now I can focus on what is ahead of me.
“Throughout my retirement transition, the fear of the unknown is definitely immense, but the Greencastle team have instilled a sense of calmness and their phenomenal support from all are what other organizations should mirror. After serving in the military for many years, the program allows for transitioning service members to utilize their skills, experiences, leadership roles and combine the technical training to become a highly skilled and marketable consultant. I look forward to completing the program and becoming more successful than I envisioned.
