It’s 3am, and you’re on duty. Suddenly, you’re thrust into a dynamic situation; one that may be life or death. Your equipment is ready, your training has prepared you to respond. But what about your nervous system? Will you be able to mentally handle the immediate challenge? And will you be prepared to handle what comes next?

In this episode, Jim talks with Jennifer Schwester of jennyzenyoga.com. Jennifer is a yoga instructor, and the spouse and mother of emergency responders. They discuss the stress response, the “why” of how your body responds in a critical situation, and how to get your nervous system to recover after stressful situations, and how to control it before it controls you.

Military Special Operations Forces use this training to perform at their peak, when seconds count. Now you can as well, and find benefits both on and off duty.

Leadership is a critical aspect of success in any organization. When we recently read “Extreme Ownership”, we recognized that we are reviewing many of these common leadership concepts in our classes. This book reinforced our thoughts and theory on the practical application of leadership in law enforcement. Based on this, we decided to start our ‘leadership series’. In Part 1, we review the first two chapters of this book and how it relates to the concepts we share with others in our classes.
