Sara B. McNamara, MSOD is a purpose-driven organization development practitioner and veteran talent strategist specializing in military-to-civilian transformation and employment initiatives.
Her unique perspective is informed by over two decades of corporate experience, 15 years as a military spouse, and expertise in the fields of Behavioral Science and Organization Development. She gained deep insights into military culture and the human experience of transition through her graduate research, leading the DOD SkillBridge Program and participating in the GW Bush Stand-To Veterans Leadership Program. Additionally, she brings a strong veteran employment perspective from partnerships with major corporations and academic institutions, plus extensive one-on-one coaching experience with various veteran-focused non-profits and volunteer organizations.
Her impact is centered on a whole-person approach to transition success, addressing the emotional experience and the need to unlock personal agency. These themes have since become the cornerstones of her professional efforts and the foundation of her Coaching on Purpose Program.

How to support and engage military talent with targeted coaching and transformation facilitation
Unlike most civilian-civilian career changes, the military-to-civilian transition is not a single event and requires a continuous personal transformation that extends well into second careers. Employers and ERG Sponsors may be unaware of the unique challenges veterans face during this transformation and how best to support them.
To bridge this gap, Sara is excited to introduce the Coaching on Purpose Program. This initiative accelerates transformation and engagement through purpose-driven coaching and tailored personal development resources. By offering unique post-employment support, the program helps veterans clarify their value, reclaim their agency, connect to their community and thrive in their post-military lives.
