That's What She Said!


I'm the one in the middle w/the big ole' cheesy smile between Ginger and Michael, Michigan Court Officers, Deputy Sheriff, Process Servers' Association board members. 



Late last year I was brought in by the Michigan Court Officers, Deputy Sheriff, Process Servers' Association to do some training with them at their conference held in Midland, MI.


Great group! 

We covered some really important concepts and tactics to help them not only be safer at their job, but to Live more powerfully (I know it may sound a bit corny... but it's true!).

The feedback has been great...

Ginger Z, one of the associations directors said:

"Thank you again sooooo much. The feedback was awesome! I will say... the overall consensus is they would love to see you again...

Might have to see about what it would take to set up a day long workshop with you."


Why?!

Why do I often hear feedback like Ginger's?

I could say it's because I've been doing this a long time and it's not my first rodeo... 

But that's not it.

You could do something for a long time and still not get feedback like that.

I could say that it was the great content...

And I believe it IS good content...

But, I don't really think it's only that either. 


So, What Is It Then?!

The real secret to my sessions impacting people so deeply is because I am to transform people, not just give them information. 

It's in the formula.

Your training shouldn't just educate you. 

It shouldn't just change you either.

Really great training TRANSFORMS You! Even if just a little bit. 


Impact!

Your defensive tactics, de-escalation, leadership training has to re-connect you with your true identity. Your Protector Identity!

WHY?!

It's not just for the good feelz son!

Oh nooooo no no no...

It's tactical too!

It all starts with your mindset.

If you don't have a good MINDSET, then it doesn't really matter what skills, tool or weapon you have you aren't going to be as effective. 

Not to mention you may simply make the situation worse because of your attitude (which btw is another element of Mindset.

MINDSET:

ETHIC: Life is precious - You have to separate one's Life Value from behavior. Deal approaperately w/the behavior while simultaneously treating them with dignity and respect. (This used to be called professionalism... but it's more than that, it's something to live by!)

IDENTITY: We were ALL born Protectors. Just make sure we're protecting the right things! LIFE!

ATTITUDE: Calm, Cool, Collected (Baseline) - Use Conflict as an Opportunity.

Yep, you being dialed in with your CALL as a Protector of Life and living by the CODE that Life is Precious helps you to be more tactical, more effective at dealing with people and problems that arise. 

Not to mention, you don't want to be the cause of the problem or the gas on the fire!

It could save your Life (or someone else's!)

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 simply do

The Shot Heard Around the World

Even though many could see where all of this division and hatred in our country was leading to, when we witness the actual violence, realty once again floods in and has a way of shattering the comfort of our complacency, if only until the next headline. Some may find all of this shocking, others may see it simply validating their own fears. Regardless, of your political views, we have to take into account what this level of violence can do not only to the former President and his family, but what does to the state of our entire Nation. Yesterday as news broke of former President Donald Trump being shot, I can’t say that I was entirely surprised. Saddened, but not surprised. Regardless of your political stance, this act of violence is a dark reminder of the dangerous consequences of a society steeped in hate and division. Our collective heartbreak should not be about politics, but about the division and hatred that fuels this erosion of our humanity. We live in a time where traditional

Cutting Through the Static

  Me and the crew at Venue 3 Two after a PeaceWalker Conflict Communication Workshop Remember in the old days when you used to listen to the radio on a road trip? No, not digital or streaming. I’m talking about old school FM radio. When you’re putting some miles on and crossing state lines. The radio stations you listen to don’t broadcast far enough for your entire trip, so you have to channel surf to find new channels as you move on down the road. You continue to push the search button until you hear a song in the genre that you want so you can lock in a desirable station for a spell. Sometimes you’re listening to a song you really like but the station is fading… The static starts feint, almost imperceptible, than grows in intensity to the degree that you can no longer ignore it. If you really like the song, you try to hang on as long as you can, listening to the tune through the white noise and times it cuts out completely, hoping to hear as much of the song as you can before the sta
