Your Range Card for Life: Military Management Techniques to Help You Control the Everyday Chaos

Plan the plan – walk it through, talk it through, and follow through with confidence.

How many times have you asked yourself, “What’s the plan?”

The military specializes in teaching its members to quickly assess situations and develop short- and long-term decision making and planning models. Using these models can help make situations that could be stressful or chaotic clearer and more manageable – and you don’t have to be in the military to use them!

Join John Riotte as he explores military planning techniques and how they can help you control your everyday chaos. From planning to follow through, you’ll learn how to:

• Set clear expectations and realistic timelines
• Identify obstacles and strategize how to move past them
• Determine if help is needed, and who can provide it
• Perform an honest, constructive self-evaluation

Whether organizing a party or mapping out your professional development, a solid plan – with the flexibility to adapt to the unexpected – will help you take the first step and keep moving with confidence towards your goals.

John Riotte has traveled the world, jumped out of planes, and generally learned how to plan for events and for life. After serving in the military for 20 years, he changed careers, moving into radio for a short time; then to security, training, and instructing others in higher level security; working for the DOD, DOE, and finally as a Global Security Data Center Area Security Manager. John is the proud father of Danielle and Andrew, as well as the (very) proud Pop-Pop to his granddaughter Bobbi.
