Keynote Speeches:

Greatness Beyond the Badge: The Three Keys for Self-Awareness
- - Each day, law enforcement officers place their lives on the line to protect and serve their communities. They love their career but do they place enough emphasis on their growth to be the best version of themselves? This encouraging and uplifting keynote provides tools for law enforcement officers to increase their self-awareness to maximize their abilities to grow themselves and increase their skills to handle stressful situations. The presentation will challenge law enforcement officers to build on their growth journey today!
Preventative Leadership: Stop Learning The Hard Way
- - Being a leader can be one of the most rewarding positions to have when properly trained but what happens when you place an untrained leader into a leadership role? They fail. It is not because they want to fail but they do not have the experience to lead people. This workshop provides law enforcement leaders with tools to recognize signs of turmoil and tension before behavior turns into unsatisfactory performance and misconduct.

Workshops:

Leading In the Trenches: The Battle To Retain Your People
- - When there is no trust, there is no loyalty. When you cannot overcome leadership obstacles, your people leave for better companies. When you cannot retain your people, you have no one to lead. This educational and inspirational presentation provides tools for the leader who is leading from the front and not from the back. This presentation delivers real-time solutions for generational differences and the fight to keep your people in your organization. The program will challenge you to take an innovative approach to winning the battle with retention!

TESTIMONIALS

Michael is a passionate and gifted speaker who takes time to target his content to each specific audience. Michael was a speaker, coach, and mentor for several engagements I have been able to witness. His biggest strength is his ability to use the knowledge gained from both his personal and professional life, to translate difficult topics into easily digestible pieces of information; allowing the audience to receive it in an unconstrained way. I would recommend Michael to speak to any group of people from Corporate to Law Enforcement without hesitation.

I was a frequent guest instructor for Mike’s training department when we worked for the same agency. He’s one of the most professional trainers I’ve worked with; and was by far, one of the best when it came time for our annual refreshers. Mike’s style of communication is easily understood and he has a knack for simplifying complex information. His briefings were always professional and complete, while also remaining concise. Mike gets to know his audience and can take otherwise dry material and turn it into retainable information.
