Dave “J.D. Buck Savage” Smith first presented The Winning Mind in 1987. Since then it has evolved into one of the most remarkable training experiences that law enforcement personnel will ever attend.

By looking at the key components of peak performance, including who survives and why, the roles that optimism, risk and bureaucracy play in our personal and professional lives, and how to be truly resilient, Dave presents an entertaining and inspiring program designed to help everyone optimize their odds of winning any confrontation, regardless of their experience.

The Winning Mind has given men and women the mental edge they need to not only face threats on the street but also the stresses they may confront in their daily lives.  In this multimedia session, Dave will discuss:

• What makes someone a “winner?”
• Who survives and why?
• Understanding the role beliefs play in winning.
• What is true “optimism?”
• The science of crisis decision-making.
• The “Not Today” mindset, every day, on every shift.
• The role of “Warrior Values” in all aspects of law enforcement.
• Understanding your own Risk Thermostat.
• Maintaining optimism in a bureaucratic world.
• Preventing panic, the “archenemy of survival.”
• Being truly resilient after a setback!

This course is perfect for everyone in your agency, from management to recruits, from sworn to civilian, from patrol to investigations, and can be customized to fit individual agency needs. Dave Smith’s “The Winning Mind” has something for everyone!
