Staying Positive in a Negative Enviroment

Toxic work environments are tough. How we respond versus how we react can change the outcome of many of our daily interactions. From bad bosses to toxic co-workers, I discuss tips that are key to surviving this type of workplace. I will also show you how to develop a Personal Vision Statement to guide you and keep you on course to reach your goals.

Developing a Personal Vision Statement

If a company's Vision Statement can focus and empower an entire company; why can't it do the same for you? I will walk you through crafting your own Personal Vision Statement and bring focus to your goals. You are going to have a vision statement that will focus your energies, empower your actions, and guide you down the road of life!

LEADING DURING CHANGE AND CRISIS

Leadership isn't easy when everything is going well, but what about when crisis strikes? How do you lead when things are changing rapidly? Drawing from my experience leading specialty teams and staff during 29 years of corrections, I identify what your people need from you during moments of crisis or change.

Leadership – It’s Your Journey

My own personal leadership journey took me from being a tactical team leader to activation of the Bureau of Prison's newest maximum-security prison as Chief of Custody. During that journey, I ran out of gas, had to change direction often, learned to make new friends, and found a way to love the anticipation of what was around the next corner. Using the metaphor of a road trip, I will help you map your own leadership journey, and share with you some of my secrets to finding purpose in what you do.
