Hi there! Chris here…
I grew up in California, USA and at the age of 13, my parents decided to take my brother and me and sail around the world for five years. We eventually ended up in New Zealand (Auckland is where I now call home) and I thought a career in the NZ Police was what I was cut out for. I wanted to make the world a better place.
18 months into the job, a fellow constable was assaulted on the job and I went to multiple suicides where I had to inform their family members, all in a short amount of time. This was when I began to lose touch with myself, my emotions and everything I thought I’d gone into this job for. Instead of making the world a better place, I couldn’t even understand my own world and what was happening to me.
What developed was a burning desire to run away from everything and everyone I held close, burnt out with PTSD, depression, anxiety, and paranoia. My mental state kept me barely existing and the job I had so desired and loved had literally made me sick. This was now going on seven years into the job. I realized I had to make a change and sought out the answers to get myself performing and living life on my terms again.
Through the help and connection of a tribe, I quickly recognized how powerful it is to develop and truly understand yourself and who you indeed are under all the masks. Only then can you be effective and perform at a level where you are creating a fulfilling life at every turn. Through hours of coaching, science-based studying, personal development, and research not only on myself but with others, I now have a proven method to understand what happiness and health truly look like.
Let me show you how peak performance comes through being a master of your physical and mental self. Create a life where you can help others, be a better leader, and be fulfilled no matter what your journey. Being prepared for what the future can throw at you physically and emotionally allows you to stay in the moment and enjoy every day to its fullest. Let me give you the knowledge and let's create that future of your dreams.
The Problem I See Policing Has
Burnout is one of the key causes of Police Officers either doing something unexpected on the job, or leaving the job altogether.
John Violanti, a professor of epidemiology and environmental health at the University of Buffalo study showed at least a 30% PTSD increase from Jan 2020 to Jan 2021.
A University of Nebraska-Omaha and University of Utah study, showed a 280% increase in resignations between 2016 - 2021.
A 2019 study by the University of Texas at Dallas found that 26% of police officers screened positive for mental health conditions, such as burnout, anxiety, depression or PTSD.
More Police in the United States of America take their own lives than are killed in the line of duty annually.
Why This Matters To You!
PTSD, burnout, depression.& anxiety are costing the US $232.2 billion a year. (American Psychological Association, Jan 23)
Washington Post investigation uncovered that more than $1.5 billion was spent between 2010 - 2019 settling claims of police misconduct.
The average cost to train an officer from recruitment to certification is on average $100,000. (Dr William Lewinski, Michael Albin Force Science News)
Now imagine being able to retain those staff, have positive morale within your teams and save your department hundreds of thousands of dollars a year...
You don't wan't to have your or the time and money of your department waisted because your or your officers are burning out when there is a process to eliminate burnout from ever happening in yourself and your department.
