Leadership
Flinch Forward was born from the belief that Men and Women of purpose, must give back. We have no choice. We were forged in the Warrior Values of purpose and mission and that purpose and mission is who we are, not what we do.
We give, and sacrifice for many reasons. Some of those reasons are selfish and have to do with dealing with our own post traumatic stress. But we refuse to believe that we have a disorder. Instead, we use that stress to our advantage and turn it from stress to success. We believe in Post Traumatic Success Development.
