RGI Mentoring Training: A Life Changing Experience

Image
I recently had a very powerful experience at our latest RGI training out in New Jersey. We kicked off a new program with one of the police departments out there and it was pretty incredible! Gary Klugiewicz of Verbal Defense & Influence wrote a great article about it. So, I thought I'd share it here. The link at the bottom of the blurb that I posted will take you to his Vistelar website where you can read the entire article.    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Greetings. This is Gary Klugiewicz. Recently, I assisted Jack Hoban, the president of Resolution Group International, in teaching the first ever RGI Conflict Resolution Mentoring Course for members of the Camden County, NJ Police Department. RGI is conducting a yearlong training experiment for this agency that is designed to enhance the professional and tactical skills of their officers.

Four Types of Correctional Violence

Here is another conflict management system for you to take a look at. This one is used a lot in correctional facilities, however, don't let that throw you because you could just as well find yourself in a situation outside of the poky where this information could come in handy.  Just like my last blog, I didn't write the words you are about to read below. This one comes to you courtesy of Tracy Barnhart.  Visit the Tracy Barnhart page. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ When an officer recognizes the type of violence he is facing, he can customize his tactics for de-escalating it on the spot.

It is used by Human Resources (HR) and Organizational Development (OD) consultants as a catalyst to open discussions on difficult issues and facilitat
