In this episode of the PM-ProShow, we sit down with Karen Ngo, CEO Communications Manager at Microsoft and creator of the #1 ranked career blog kkarenism, to talk about one of the biggest challenges facing professionals today: translating experience into opportunity.

Karen shares how she built her own career journey, why networking unlocks the hidden job market, and how she uses the Career Walking Deck—a visual storytelling tool designed to help candidates stand out beyond a traditional resume—to help job seekers land senior-level roles.

We dive into:

• Why your career story matters more than your job title
• How veterans can translate military experience into corporate value
• Why a resume gets you the interview, but storytelling can get you the offer
• The power of personal branding and vulnerability in professional settings
• How certifications and continuous learning build long-term career growth

Whether you're preparing for a military transition, advancing your career, or looking for ways to communicate your value more effectively, Karen provides practical strategies to help you sharpen your edge and take control of your professional story.

Transitioning from military service to civilian project and program management isn't about starting over — it's about translating experience the right way.

In this episode of PM-ProShow, we're joined by Donald Gray, Program Manager at Tiber Creek Consulting and a veteran leader with 20+ years of executive, training, and program management experience.

Donald shares real-world stories from his transition, how networking actually works outside the uniform, and what veterans should focus on 12–18 months before separation to set themselves up for success.

We dig into:

• Leading 15+ integrated project teams across technical, contractual, and financial lanes
• What military leaders need to unlearn to succeed with civilian clients and contracts
• How credentials like PMP, CSPO, CMMI, and ISO fit into a smart transition plan
• Practical unit-level habits that immediately improve performance
• Where Agile practices and classic PM discipline work best in government and defense programs
• What companies get wrong (and right) about hiring, training, and retaining veteran talent

Whether you're transitioning out, already in industry, or responsible for training teams, this conversation is packed with lessons you can apply immediately.

If you're serious about translating military leadership into civilian project management credentials, this is exactly what we help veterans and professionals do every day.
