The Next Crisis Isn’t Waiting for
You to Prepare

Do you recognize the need for extreme preparation?

The reality is most leaders aren’t ready because they can’t imagine what the next crisis will look like.

They’ve never been tested under fire or exposed to high-pressure and high-stakes leadership.

But that crisis is coming, whether you’ve prepared or not.

And one day, you might wake up on an ordinary Tuesday….and you won’t know it, but the stakes will be high.
By the end of the day, with no warning, you’ll be facing a challenge you could never have envisioned.
Imagine your most stressful day on the job; think of how many decisions, memos, phone calls, and people in and out of your office you get on that day…then multiply that by 1,000. Imagine yourself with that responsibility on your shoulders. And know that someday, you won’t have to imagine it because it will be your reality. It’s vital to prepare NOW because by the time you realize you’re in a worst-case scenario, it’s too late.

And Your Team Needs You to Step Up

When the next crisis comes, do you want to be the leader who inspires unwavering trust and who everyone immediately turns to or the one everyone second guesses? Do you want to be the leader who takes the reins and guides their team calmly and with confidence or the one fumbling through unprepared?

The answer is clear.

And people need someone they can look to in a crisis.
We need leaders who are expert communicators, especially when lives are at risk.
We need leaders who can write a plan and execute that plan, even under the utmost pressure.
We need leaders who can adapt and flex to new conditions if the plan doesn’t meet the need.
And to be this leader, you need to…

Prepare Yourself For What You Won’t Believe Comes Next

Because sure, you can become this leader and gain these skills through trial and error, but that means risking thousands of lives, dollars, and your reputation. Or you can try to become this leader through books and academic theory, but good luck implementing that into a real-life high-pressure situation. The one way to learn the tools you need to be fully prepared for a crisis is through hands-on, front-line training with real-world examples. And because of this, I’ve compiled everything I’ve learned from protecting Presidents, working for elected leaders at the state, local, and national levels, and organizing the national responses to multi-faceted disasters and a global pandemic and created this resource for you, the next generation of leaders.
