Leading with Grace

Leading with grace is my signature leadership training course designed to empower supervisors, team leads, and aspiring leaders in law enforcement, public safety, and mission-driven organizations. As With over 14 years of law enforcement experience and currently in the Richmond County Sheriff’s Office—including roles as a SWAT operator, U.S. Marshal Task Force Officer, and certified instructor—I guide participants to lead with clarity, courage, and compassion. You'll master balancing empathy with accountability, setting firm expectations, correcting performance with care, building team resilience, and creating actionable plans to develop future leaders—all through interactive modules that blend real-world insights with practical tools.

Whether you're looking to book a customized half-day or full-day workshop for your team, schedule a one-on-one coaching session, or invite me to present at your event, this course transforms how you motivate and inspire under pressure. Let's elevate your leadership.

Leading with Grace: Firm but Fair – What the Course Covers

​

In this hands-on training, you and your team will work through eight core modules built from real street-level and squad-room experience:

• Foundations of Graceful Leadership ​

  • Understanding people, embracing vulnerability as strength, and defining what “grace under pressure” really looks like in daily supervision.

• Firm but Fair 

  • How to set crystal-clear expectations, enforce standards consistently, and remain respected—even when the answer has to be “no.”

• Extreme Ownership

  • ​ Taking full responsibility, leading by example, and teaching your people to do the same without finger-pointing or excuses.

• Correction with Care

  • Practical framework for delivering feedback and corrective action that improves performance instead of crushing morale (includes live role-play lab in the full-day version).

• Know Your People

  • ​ Reading stress signals, adapting your style to the individual, and building genuine trust so your team will run through walls for you.

• Resilience & Mental Health in High-Stakes Teams

  • Recognizing burnout and trauma cues early, starting the wellness conversation without awkwardness, and creating a culture where it’s okay to not be okay.

• Mentorship & Networking

  • How to intentionally grow the next generation of leaders and build your own support circle that keeps you sharp.

• Personal & Team Action Plan

  • ​​​ Every participant leaves with a written 30/60/90-day plan to immediately apply what they’ve learned back on the job.
