For the best WHY journey experience, we recommend taking all three classes in order: Start with WHY for Veterans → Refine Your WHY → Live Your WHY *
Want to make a change in your community and grow together? Well, we want to help! This course is great for colleagues looking to discover or reinvigorate their sense of purpose.
What is Start with WHY for Veterans?
As you transition from military to civilian life, WHAT you do may change, but your WHY can always remain clear and constant. As you leave your military families behind, you may be forced to reinvent yourself, reinvent WHAT you do. We believe the best way to move forward starts with your WHY.
This interactive workshop is designed to walk you, step-by-step, through the process to find your WHY – your personal purpose, cause or belief – and point you in the direction to live it. It takes a willingness to be open, to share personal stories, and to trust the process. And through it all, we’re there to help.
Key Takeaways
Meet Lt. Col. Paul “JQ – Johnny Quest” Mullis, USAF (ret). Paul exists to find and feed the spark in us, so that, together, we can lead our own legacy. He met Simon Sinek in 2010 at the USAF Weapons School. Paul deeply identified with Start With WHY and the fact that the ideas in Simon’s book can be taught. Simon and Paul worked together on several projects, including teaching Leadership Communications and helping the Weapons School find and define its own WHY. Paul spent 25 years in the Air Force culminating in a role leading the U-28 course at the Weapons School. Most of all, Paul is stoked to serve the Veteran Community.

While we wish we could clone Simon, science just isn’t quite there yet. That is why we’ve trained our Optimist Instructors to teach our classes. However, our two on-demand courses are taught by Simon – check out Find Your WHY and The Art of Presenting!

A spark is something quite small and, by itself, not very powerful. But a spark has the ability to ignite. An idea is like a spark; alone it is just a set of words, but it too can ignite. A great idea can inspire others to dream bigger. Let us all work together to ignite something greater than ourselves.
Let us all be a Spark of Optimism.
