Description

GREAT TO MAGNUS provides the theory, science principles, practices, formulas and step-by-step inter/intra neurobiological roadmap to deliver results with confidence.

Those of us who have been a student of leadership and have followed the work of Jim Collins “GOOD TO GREAT”, recognize that becoming GREAT LEADERS is a complex but rewarding journey. But what happens to leaders when they become great in what they do? Are they finished or can they raise the bar to become MORE by over excelling in their leadership, wellness and resiliency?

We are living in a rapidly changing world! As culture changes, it is crucial for leaders to adapt to this new dynamic. Public Safety professionals live with volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity (VUCA) daily. The scrutiny and criticism pitted against first responders today is unprecedented creating increasing stress on public safety professionals. GREAT is no longer good enough – we need to build higher capacities for the first responders. We need stronger leadership, performance, well-being, and anti-fragility to maneuver the New Normal!

  • If you are looking for an inspiring and motivational Leadership Foundation course to inspire your personnel across all ranks, the “GREAT TO MAGNUS” workshop will deliver!
  • If you need to improve your well-being and wellness, the “GREAT TO MAGNUS” workshop is for you.
  • If you wish to build stronger leadership, performance, and psychological resilience, the “GREAT TO MAGNUS” workshop is for you.
  • If you desire to improve a long-lasting mental toughness and anti-fragility through neurobiological skills that enhance performance, relationships, body regulation, communication, fear modulation, emotional balance, empathy, insight, and intuition, “GREAT TO MAGNUS” workshop is for you.
  • If you are looking to reduce risks and liabilities, the “GREAT TO MAGNUS” workshop will make contributions!

The great value of the workshop is based on the science and practices of human behavior and is delivered in a format that is easily applicable to our daily lives to improve the leadership and well-being of each person willing to apply these principles. The workshop introduces a new theory of human behavior “MAGNUS OVEA” that utilizes a series of interlinking interpersonal and intrapersonal neurobiological capacities designed to turbocharge star performance. Filled with tactical and practical tools tested with over 10,000 public safety and military operators, you will be able to identify, relate to and build neurobiological capacities.

Sponsor - Swinomish Police Department

The Swinomish Police Department was created by the Swinomish Senate on January 7,1936. Swinomish officers now have general police authority pursuant to RCW 10.92.020. Swinomish officers reference state law when dealing with incidents of a criminal nature involving non-enrolled subjects, both within and outside the boundaries of the Swinomish Reservation.

The Swinomish Tribe is federally-recognized and excercises civil jurisdiction over both enrolled tribal members and non-enrolled subjects when contacted within the exterior boundaries of the reservation concerning alleged civil infractions.

In 2010, the Swinomish Police Department was the first tribal police department in the state of Washington to have met the requirements for accreditation by the Washington Association of Sheriffs and Police Chiefs.

Additionally, enrolled tribal members, while not subject to Washington state law, are subject to the law of the United States. Therefore, officers of the Swinomish Police Department follow both federal law and Swinomish Indian Tribal Community code when incidents involve potential violation(s) by enrolled members occurring within the exterior bounds of the Reservation.
