In this clip from the FourBlock Podcast, we welcome Christian Gomez, a U.S. Marine Corps Veteran and Vice President of Talent Activation Strategy for The Marcus Buckingham Company (TMBC), an ADP Company. Christian discusses the crisis of confidence that many service members face when going through the transition process, and how he works to help fellow veterans understand and articulate the inherent value that they bring to the civilian workforce.
In this episode, Christian shares his deeply personal story of how he overcame a lot of adversity growing up, why he joined the military as the first person in his family to serve in any military capacity, and his fascinating professional journey from his service as a Sergeant in the U.S. Marines Corps to his corporate career today as a thought leader in the human capital management space.
Christian and FourBlock Founder Mike Abrams also discuss the results of their StandOut Assessments, a 15-minute assessment powered by ADP that identifies people’s top two strengths and delivers personalized coaching.
