Enrique Acosta Gonzalez, Senior Chief Petty Officer, US Navy (Ret.) shares his secret for going all in and his passion for leadership development.
Summary
Enrique joined the US Navy in 1989 and served 26 years in the meteorology and oceanography community otherwise known as METOC. He served on a Coast Guard Cutter and a Japanese ship before moving to land-based locations such as Hawaii, Florida and finally at METOC headquarters in Mississippi.
The planning for the transition to private life came quickly. With only six months to plan, Enrique had to decide where to move his family and what career path he would embark on after active duty. He credits his family and faith for helping him transition out of the military and starting his new journey in Orlando, Florida.
Having spent 26 years in the meteorology field, Enrique knew that he did not want to pursue a civilian career in the same space. He did however know that his love and passion for leadership would create opportunities and allow him to carve a new career path. After serving in a leadership position at a private company and later at the Florida Environmental Protection Agency, Enrique knew that it was time to go all in and start his own firm – Triad Leadership Solutions.
