Guy will share with you the Top 5 worst pieces of advice for Safety & Security and how YOU can recognize bad advice when it comes your way!

The phrase "Monday Morning Quarterback" is typically thought of as a negative term and it's usually for good reason. Watching our favorite team or athlete from the comfort of our sofas, having never played the game at that level, it's very easy to critique how a play was executed or how a split second decision was made that we didn't like.

Of course no one wants to be critiqued by people who lack the experience, pressure or perspective that one can only have by being "in the game."

Of course no one really wants to be "Monday morning quaterbacked" or to be involved in an incident that needs to be MMQ'ed. However, as church protectors, we absolutely must embrace Monday morning quarterbacking because it's the kind of thing that will save our lives.

But friends, here's the most important part - the quarterbacking must come from the right sources and in the right way, for it to be effective. In other words, it needs to come from people who have invested in and understand "our game."

Since we can’t see or physically reach out and touch strategy, it’s often skipped in favor of going straight to tactics.

A good number of the safety, business, and personal plans I’ve reviewed over the past 20 years list goals, objectives, and tactics, skipping strategy all together.

If strategy is not determined before tactics, there is no way of intelligently changing course when objectives and their corresponding milestones are not being achieved.

De-escalation techniques have the potential to help prevent the need to use force in many church protector-guest encounters.

Mike Gillette has a life story that reads like an action-adventure novel. A life which has proven to be his own best case-study for goal attainment.

He was a poor, scared and scrawny kid who grew up amidst a backdrop of extreme violence and substance abuse. A kid who would ultimately become an Army Paratrooper, SWAT Commander, Government Counter-Terrorism Consultant, Bodyguard to Fortune 500 CEOs and a Record-Breaking Motivational Strongman whose feats have been documented by Guinness World Records and Ripley’s Believe it or Not. 

As both practitioner and purveyor, Mike is a peak-performance pioneer. And at over 50 years of age, he continues to transcend his own personal limits while teaching others how to do the same.
