034 - Hunters and Howlers - Threat Assessment and Management with Dr. Steve Albrecht

In 1994, Dr. Steve Albrecht co-wrote one of the first business books on workplace violence. He interviewed a double murderer in prison for the book.

Since then, he has trained thousands of government, healthcare, library, and private-sector employees in workplace violence awareness, prevention, and response.

He helps K-12 schools and colleges and universities to create Threat Assessment Teams to address school violence threats. He has written 26 books on HR, security, leadership, and criminal justice topics.
🎙️ Exciting News! We just recorded an amazing episode for the De-Escalation Conversations Podcast with the incredible Dr. Steve Albrecht!

🎙️ We delved into the fascinating world of road rage, workplace violence prevention, and much more! Here are 3 key takeaways from our conversation:

1️⃣ Anger Mastery: Dr. Albrecht emphasized the importance of mastering our anger, rather than just managing it. Understanding the triggers and stressors that lead to road rage, workplace violence, or confrontational situations is crucial for effective de-escalation.

2️⃣ The Power of Empathy: Recognizing subtle signals in body language, empathizing with individuals going through struggles, and seeing them as human beings can make a significant difference in diffusing tense situations. Empathy is a powerful tool for creating a safer and more inclusive environment.

3️⃣ See Something – Say Something: We discussed the vital role that bystanders play in identifying potential threats. Whether it's reporting suspicious behavior, leaks of information, or instances of sexual harassment, speaking up and reporting can help prevent tragic incidents. Trust your instincts and ensure a secure environment.

[00:05:30] School shootings by perpetrators have shifted dramatically. Previous incidents were mostly gang-related or retaliatory, but now it's students, ex-students, parents, and others targeting schools. This shift happened after Columbine, where perpetrators gained momentum and were revered online. It's disheartening to see this becoming an acceptable solution for disaffected, revenge-seeking individuals.

036 - The Science of Goal Achievement: How to Use Neuroscience to Succeed

In this episode of De-Escalation Conversations, we delve into the fascinating world of neuroscience and its powerful connection to goal setting.
Kerry explores how setting clear, actionable goals not only directs our efforts effectively but also triggers changes in the way our brains operate.
By breaking down the science behind goal achievement and the role of dopamine in reinforcing positive behavior, Kerry will provide practical tips for aligning our goals with our brain's natural processes.
Drawing from real-world examples, Kerry will show you how to combat procrastination and achieve success by leveraging our brain's capabilities.
Tune in to discover how setting and achieving goals is a conversation with our brains, empowering us to reach new heights.
QUOTES:
Setting Specific Goals:
"Vague goals aren't helpful. Being specific as possible with what you want to achieve allows your brain to really set the parameters for what you're going to do. This clarity helps your brain focus on exactly what needs to be done."

The Power of the Brain's Filter System:
"When you activate the Raz, which is what you're doing with everything that we just talked about, your brain begins to focus on that and it begins to look for that information because you've just told your brain that that's important information before that it was not important to your survival."

— [00:13:49 → 00:14:04]

Understanding the Impact of Fear on Decision Making:
"When we are in Survival State, what happens is our PFC, our Pre-Frontal Cortex, shuts off electrically. It powers down and we operate from our Hind Brain, our Reptilian Brain, our Lizard Brain, and we don't make good decisions during that time."
