Hidden Ranks: The Spouse Skills Advantage

Miliary spouses bring a powerful, often overlooked skill set shaped by constant change. They are the hidden ranks with a highly desirable skill set most employers are unaware of. They are experts in adapting to new environments, navigating change and operating in complex and unfamiliar environments all whilst maintaining family stability.  This repeated exposure to disruption builds exceptional strength in change management problem solving, resilience and cross function communication, often with limited information.  

In this episode we chat with Ella Cartwright and her husband John, a serving soldier recently back from a 6 month deployment alongside Anna Bell, a former RAF combat medic, military spouse and now a Lecturer in Adult Nursing on their experiences of giving up a career to forge a new path and the impact on the wider family of deployments.
