The Courage Collective

How confident are you?

Who are YOU when you take away the uniform?

Did you know...?

  • 1/3 of us feel lonely when we leave military service

  • 47% have no confirmed job role at point of discharge

  • 49% see career progression in civilian roles

  • Less than 1/2 of service leavers feel prepared for civilian life

  • 52% of say it's hard to find the right role

  • 52.5% of veterans are underpaid for their skills & experience

  • 59% feel their skills & experience are fully utilised

  • 63% of females struggle to find the right role

This isn't a CV issue.

This is an IDENTITY CRISIS.

Leaving the military and starting the next chapter of your life is not 'just' about finding a new job.

Traditional resettlement and transition programmes focus on the CV, the translation of skills and where you're going to live.

They miss one crucial piece.

The part that separates you from your rank, your annual reports, your course ratings and the rules you've lived within, for likely, a (very)large part of your life.

The part that bonds you to your colleagues, your cap-badge and your service.

It's no wonder we feel torn when we leave.

Loneliness and low confidence go hand in hand.

You don't have to navigate the next chapter of your life alone.

Join like-minded service leavers and veteran peers in a coach-led community that will help you get clarity on who you want to be, what you want to do and how you are going to get there.

Coaching

Professional coaching can be life-changing — but it's often out of reach. The Courage Collective offers affordable, inclusive coaching to support your growth, clarity, and direction as you navigate life beyond service.

Accountability

You’ll set goals that matter to you — and stay on track through optional light-touch check-ins, goal reviews, and peer reflection. No pressure, just steady, achievable growth and progress: together.

Community

Leaving your cap-badge can be lonely. In this community, you’ll connect with people who get it — and who are carving their own courageous paths forward at the same time. Share stories, swap wisdom, and grow together.

This is for you if...

  • You’re navigating life after service — whether you're leaving, just left or have been out a while.

  • You’re feeling a bit stuck, lost, or unsure of what comes next.

  • You want to find your direction with people who truly understand.

  • You miss being part of a meaningful team.

  • You want a space to be honest, heard, and supported without judgement.

  • You’re ready to take small, courageous steps towards what really matters to you.

  • You're ready and willing to put in the effort towards your success.

This isn't for you if...

  • You're looking for a quick CV polish

  • You want a fast-fix

  • You're not prepared to be honest or take a look at yourself

  • You want someone to hand hold you through a solution

  • You are in emotional turmoil and need deeper support (I'll be happy to help signpost you if this is you)

What makes The Courage Collective different to other transition offers:

  • You'll discover WHO you are, not just what job to do next

  • Real community, not just networking

  • Proven frameworks designed specifically for service leavers & veterans.

  • A unique blend of coaching, community & accountability.

  • Monthly themes that build on each other to spark reflection and action

  • The 5R method (developed by a veteran for veterans)

  • Whole-person approach - because you're more than your military CV

  • Safe space to be vulnerable (no "man up" culture here)

  • A private, ad-free space to connect, learn, and share. No interruptions, no distractions or social media 'noise'.

  • Early access and founders rate if you join during the launch window

Hi, I'm Lisa.

I retired from the Army in 2014 after an 18-year career with 5 operational tours. I am now a Courageous Life Leadership Coach and help others to live courageously, understand their value in the world and show up with deep integrity.

After my own bumpy transition (aka identity crisis!) from military life and a decade of learning to value myself for who I am away from the uniform, I realised how powerful it is to have a space where you don’t have to pretend, push, or figure it all out alone.

The Courage Collective was born out of that knowing — and built for people like you: brave, brilliant, and figuring out what’s next without pressure or pretence.

I'd love for you to come and take a look.

"My aim is to help you to courageously thrive in civvie street - on your terms and your merits without burnout or guilt".
