I speak on a variety of topics that can be adapted to your context, including leadership, motivation, conflict resolution, principles of adult learning styles, and church, school, or corporate safety.  I am able to deliver keynote presentations and workshops to audiences of all sizes.  Here are a few of the most requested presentation topics:

 

- The Noble Calling™ is an inspirational mix of ethics and motivation for law enforcement professionals that addresses the challenges faced and reminds them why they entered the profession.

​

- Watch Your Six™ encourages and equips all first responders and their families to guard the six most vulnerable areas of life to promote health and well-being in what are certainly challenging times.

​

- Active Shooter Response for Civilian Environments prepares school faculty and staff or corporate/businesses to prepare for and effectively respond to active violence with an emphasis on shooters.

​

- The Story of Meredith's Miracle deals with the night Jonathan's wife died of a massive heart attack, his efforts to save her, and her miraculous recovery.  It can address rising to the occasion to overcome crisis, defeating fear and anxiety, and much more to inspire, challenge, and motivate.

​

- School Based Learning for topics such as Violence in our Schools, Distracted Driving, Bullying Awareness and Prevention for students or staff, and Gang Awareness and Prevention for students or staff.
