Mission to Message Institute was founded with one purpose: to provide veterans with the tools and hands-on preparation needed to confidently navigate the transition from military service to civilian career opportunity.
Brice Hendrickson is a U.S. Army veteran with over 30 years of civilian workforce experience within Fortune 100 companies. After leaving the military, he worked in the life-science and pharmaceutical industry, having led, coached, trained, and interviewed hundreds of employees.
As part of a corporate veteran employment initiative, Brice participated in mentoring and building resources for hiring military candidates and developing corporate interviewer skills — giving him a unique perspective on both sides of the transition.
In retirement, he founded Lake Time Creative LLC to funnel passion projects like Mission to Message Institute and the Grunt to Great™ training framework — built to give veterans the preparation and tools they deserve.

We start by mapping your military experience — every role, every mission, every leadership moment — to help identify the civilian equivalents that hiring managers are looking for.
Your story is yours to tell. We help you shape it — building a narrative that connects your military service to the specific value you bring to a civilian organization.
Through practice, feedback, and real-world scenarios, we build the interview confidence that lets you walk into any room and own the conversation.
The skills and language you develop through the Grunt to Great™ framework don't stop at the first interview. We equip you with the tools to continue networking effectively, pursue new opportunities with confidence, and apply what you've learned throughout your career journey.

Your transition is a mission worth preparing for. We're here to help you get ready.
