Excited to be requested to speak at IACLEA 2026 Conference, the premier event for campus public safety professionals.

🎤 Session: From Assessment to Action - Strengthening Team Performance in Public Safety through the Teams That Work Framework

📅 June 25–28, 2026 | Orlando, FL

Come find me and let's connect.

Strong teams don’t usually fall apart because of a lack of skill.

They fall apart because of how they use their strengths.

There’s a built-in tension in Behavior Styles—one that leaders need to recognize and manage. When it’s handled well, it drives performance. When it’s not, it can quietly pull teams in opposite directions.

Had a terrific time working with an Admin Team from Microsoft last week as part of an Escape and Engage event created and hosted by Reality Breaks Escape. I highly recommend this experience as a way for a team to come together for some fun while also learning about Behavior Styles. Special thanks to the team leader, Karin Calvo, and Brenda Luper from Reality Break Escapes for allowing me to be a part of it.
