Ideas, Mistakes & National Syndication




I had the chance to be on Nationally Syndicated Frontlines of Freedom Military Talk Radio Show w/Skip Coryell. We spoke on church security, Pre-Conflict Indicators and the Interviewing process.


If you didn't get the chance to catch me on the radio when it aired, you can listen to it here:

(My segment begins at the 11:15 min. mark.)


We talked about Being a PeaceWalker and Building a Protector Lifestyle. More specifically we discusses:

1) Mindset & Ethic
2) Church Security
3) Profiling Behavioral Red Flags
4) Interviewing procedures & tips


This morning I was clipping along getting things done, when the electricity shut off...

Our Snowmageddon turned into IceMageddon.  =(

Oh well... We'll survive...

It gave me an excuse to go to one of my favorite coffee houses (luckily their power's working!)

SO...

I was going over the email I sent to some of you PeaceWalkers...

It was alright, not crazy insightful... but decent.

However, it had a lot of TYPO's!!

That reminded me of a story that Lt. Col. Joe Shusko (Joe 'Marine') tells at our RGI Ethical Protector Course...


The PARABLE of the PENCIL

.
The Pencil Maker took the pencil aside just before putting him into the box.
.
“There are five things you need to know,” he told the pencil.
.
“Before I send you out into the world. Always remember them and you will become the best pencil you can be.
.
ONE: You will be able to do many great things, but only if you allow yourself to be held in Someone's hand.
.
TWO: You will experience a painful sharpening from time to time, but you'll need it to become a better pencil.
.
THREE: You will be able to correct most mistakes that you might make.
.
FOUR: The most important part of you will always be what's inside.
.
FIVE: On every surface you are used on, you will leave your mark. Try to make the best mark you can. (Most Good / Least Harm). AND No matter what the condition, you must continue to write.” (KEEP GOING!)
.
The pencil understood and promised to remember, and went into the box with purpose in its heart.
.
Now replacing the place of the pencil with you; always remember them and never forget, and you will become the best person you can be.

An Uncomfortable Situation

Image
  Funny pic (and movie) about a not so funny situation… In training as in Life, it’s better to treat people with dignity and respect. However… What does that look like in the moment? Being that I’m teaching a Women’s Assault Prevention and Response Workshop this weekend - it’s probably a good time to talk about… Uncomfortable Situations Let’s talk about training at the academy for a minute… We run open co-ed classes at the local academy. What does that mean? Men and women train together, but we don’t stop there. People of different skill levels, backgrounds, ethnicities, sexual orientations, careers, religious beliefs, political affiliations, ages, injuries, pre-existing conditions, life experience, training expectations etc. etc. train together! We ALL work together! Overall, I think it’s better this way. Of course sometimes there’s static, you know, conflicts, and misunderstanding. When something happens, most of the time it’s just that, a misunderstanding… Sometimes people ...

What'd You Say?!

  You ever have a conversation with someone who really lifted your spirits? How about having a conversation with someone who’s a real downer?! We spend a lot of time talking to people. Matter of fact, talking is one of the most under rated and under trained aspects of protecting yourself. It’s much better if you can talk your way out of a bad situation, rather than having to resort to some form of physicality. This is why we spend so much time on sharing effective communication frameworks in the PeaceWalker course. But All of that Aside… When we think about communicating, we often just think about talking to other people. We forget how we talk to ourselves! You may have heard it called, “Self talk.” All day long we talk to ourselves. We carry on an inner dialogue in our heads that only we can hear. Unfortunately, this means it's very easy to be hard on ourselves. There's something about privacy which makes it easy to say the things you would never say out loud to another living...

Cracks in Your Foundation?!

Image
  Last night we had one of our weekly coaching calls for the PeaceWalker Evolution Course. What a great call! Rob and Jenn, a couple of the Level II - Momentum folks (people who graduated from Evolution last year and came back for the second Level.), were tasked to run the meeting as part of their training. I must say, they did a stand up job! The topic of discussion was building an Unshakable Foundation. WTH is that!? It’s basically the way you live. Your habits. What you do in your day to day life. How do you train your… Body  - Your physical health Mind  - What you’re filling your head with Mouth  - How you’re communicating Heart  - How you foster your relationships Why?! Without a solid foundation it’s difficult to remain balanced. When you are not balanced, it more difficult to stay calm, cool, and collected, (especially) under pressure. As I often say,  “You can’t hide crazy.” (It eventually comes out!) Regardless… You don’t have to be in the PeaceWal...
