John (JP) Phillips – Author of Boots to Loafers, Finding Your New True North
John Phillips is a service to civilian transition expert. He works today to help others transition, just as he did from a U.S. Army Lieutenant Colonel to a successful career with The Coca-Cola Company. He talks about using the leadership and management skills he gained in the military during his more than 15 years at The Coca-Cola Company. There he has established several programs to serve veterans and their families including the The Coca-Cola Company Veterans Day Program. His book was released to reach more veterans as “they Transition, Transform, and Integrate back into civilian life.”
