The Next LVL

Ways to reinvent your career as an EFM or MilSpouse.

LVL-Up CSO Laura Jennings discusses how the work we do builds our identity and helps us practice self-care.

LVL-Up brings you a wealth of knowledge and professional experience from women who have worked all over the world in different professional settings. But let’s be real here, a lot of our best people management skills have come from being moms and managing our households.

As an EFM, remote and asynchronous work has many disadvantages such as fewer benefits, more work to build community, less oversight, larger feedback loops & fewer boundaries, and more distractions.

As an EFM, remote and asynchronous work has many advantages such as provide flexibility, help reduce gaps in employment and forward career progression.

LVL-Up has built a culture of adaptability for our staff and our clients by embracing change, taking risks, planning for the entire alphabet, and communicating clearly.

To benefit from inspiration in action, you need a company culture that celebrates diversified thinking and creative problem solving.

Our clients rely on us to build strategies that are 1) fearless in their approach, yet adaptable in their execution; 2) solve complex problems with creative solutions; and 3) streamline multi-directional logistics into efficient processes.

We spent two years in Kinshasa and it was a fascinating place. I’m often asked about living in Congo and so I put together a list of things that I learned while serving there.

At LVL-Up team members are invited to join the team and help shape and grow the culture, the norms and the business.

Congratulations, you are starting the life of an EFM (Eligible Family Member). You have agreed to move every 2-3 years and will soon learn the weight of all of your clothes. You will become an expert at planning the unplannable.
