The Sentinel Mindset

Imagine being deployed to war by your country and be sent into the battlefield without any training, or tools to help you win.

Everyday more and more individuals are being hired to work security that do not have the training or skill set to succeed.

Why does this happen? Find out in today's podcast.

Jim Bremner is no stranger to threats. With over 30 year’s experience in law enforcement - including uniform patrol, emergency response tactical unit as Special Weapons Team leader, and a member and trainer of the bomb squad, Jim had no idea his biggest challenge would come off the job - suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (P.T.S.D).

Drawing from his own life experience, Jim has co-authored ‘Crack in the Armor: a police officer’s guide to surviving post traumatic stress disorder’, a self-help guide written to assist first responders in understanding the effects of work-related critical incident stress.

In this past episode, Jim also shares tips on how to survive an Active Shooter/Attacker incident, understanding P.T.S.D further, and insight on how someone can help a loved one, friend or colleague, and EVEN THEMSELVES - to no longer suffer in silence.

“What do you do when you've done all you can and it seems like it's never enough? And what do you say when your friends turn away and you're all alone?

These powerful words are taken from Donnie McClurkin’s song “STAND”.  We all experience failure, loss, and discouragement.  However, if we channel our mindset to move past these feelings, we can truly grow and evolve to become better versions of ourselves.

In March of 2020 Sentinel lost every single client in the event and hospitality industry.  One of the darkest moments in our company’s history. How did we survive? What did we do?   Tune in and find out!

Ladies and Gentlemen – STAND!

Do you have a weak link in your organization?

Identifying the areas of weakness within your teams is crucial to optimizing their overall performance. This tactic is about nurturing an environment of continuous learning and improvement, thus empowering your high-performance teams to evolve and excel, driving your organization forward in an increasingly competitive landscape.

In today’s episode we analyze Investor and “Shark Tank” star Barbara Corcoran in a resurfaced clip showing her declaring that she loves to fire employees.  We will also go into depth about strategies in winning with high performance teams using the Phalanx Strategy from one of my favorite movies…..300.

f you had the ability to program your brain on the spot to deal with a high-risk situation, would you know how?

Meet Dr Judith Anderson creator of iPREP.

iPREP training is focused on how people can learn to modify their responses to stress in the moment (and over the long term) and iPREP integrates that into whatever occupation you are working in.

Dr. Judith’s training and research as a health psychologist was originally investigating the impact of severe stress on mental and physical health among US soldiers and veterans.  They found a strong link between chronic and severe stress (e.g., combat exposure) and long-term mental and physical health problems. 

When Dr. Judith returned to Canada in 2011 to begin at the University of Toronto, she decided to shift her research and focus to figuring out if there were methods of intervention to help (first responders/law enforcement) that were more rapid and effective. There wasn't much available to officers that addressed stress on the job. Rather, there were clinical programs available for people after they got sick, but she knew that was too late for many people - there had to be a better way.

Dr Judith and her team created a fully ambulatory laboratory and went out in the field to measure officer stress and performance - based on these original studies Dr. Judith and her team were able to develop a unique program tailored to law enforcement and first responders that helps improve both health and performance.
