We had a great time in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, working with the team at Amcor on Active Threat Preparedness and De escalation.

Our training focused on giving leaders practical tools to recognize potential threats, make decisions under pressure, communicate effectively, and take action when seconds matter.

We also incorporated tabletop exercises and a slow, step by step active threat drill, allowing leaders to work through realistic situations in a controlled environment. The goal wasn’t speed. It was understanding. We wanted leaders to see the situation develop, think through their options, and leave feeling more confident and empowered to respond if the unthinkable ever happens.

Preparedness is about more than having a plan. It’s about helping people understand that plan and giving them the confidence to act.

Thank you to the Amcor team for the opportunity to train with you!

🎙️ NEW EPISODE: Iron and Empathy Podcast
I had the opportunity to sit down with Minnesota DNR Commissioner Sarah Strommen for a conversation that covers a LOT of ground.
🐺 What’s really happening with Minnesota’s wolf population?
🎣 How did Mille Lacs go from major walleye restrictions to the comeback we’re seeing today?
🌲 What’s the real story behind mining and the Boundary Waters?
🥾 What are some of Minnesota’s best hidden outdoor gems?
But one of my favorite parts of the conversation was talking about leadership and empathy.
Sarah leads an organization of nearly 2,700 employees and is responsible for decisions that impact people who often have very different—and very passionate—perspectives. Her philosophy is simple but powerful: listen, explain the “why,” and work WITH people rather than simply making decisions for them.
Whether you hunt, fish, hike, camp, love Minnesota’s outdoors, or simply want to hear a great conversation about leadership and public service, I think you’ll enjoy this one.

Today we had a great time presenting to the Human Resources professionals at Cirrus Aircraft.

This session focused specifically on de-escalation techniques for HR professionals and the unique challenges they face when navigating difficult conversations, employee conflict, discipline, terminations, and other emotionally charged situations.

We worked through HR-specific tabletop exercises and realistic scenarios designed to help participants recognize escalation, regulate their own response, communicate effectively, and know what to do when a situation begins moving toward a safety concern.

Our goal was simple: give HR professionals practical tools that empower them to handle difficult situations with confidence while keeping themselves and others safe.

A huge thank you to the Cirrus Aircraft team for having us, we look forward to working with you in the future.

When you feel triggered, the first words out are usually irrational. But pausing and breathing can bring your prefrontal cortex online, helping you avoid issues and make better decisions. It's like training in a courtroom – pause before you answer.

Did you know words only make up 7% of communication? Tone accounts for 38%, and body language a massive 55%. Ever heard a 'fine' that didn't mean fine? It's all in the delivery, not just the words.

🎙️ Can being a “lone wolf” help you succeed—or eventually hold you back?
In this episode of Iron and Empathy, host Drew Moldenhauer sits down with entrepreneur, consultant, and Intrinsic Mindset podcast host Paul Nelhart for a powerful conversation about leadership, entrepreneurship, burnout, and the shift from doing everything alone to building meaningful collaboration.

Together, Drew and Paul explore:
🔹 Why great leadership starts with self-awareness
🔹 How psychological safety helps teams thrive
🔹 The importance of balancing accountability with empathy and grace
🔹 Why burnout often happens gradually—and how to recognize it
🔹 How trust and collaboration can take you further than going it alone
🔹 Why success isn’t just about doing more, but becoming a better version of yourself along the way
If you’re an entrepreneur, leader, or anyone working to grow personally and professionally, this conversation is for you.

Ever wonder why you say or do things you regret when stressed? It's your brain's amygdala hijacking your rational prefrontal cortex. Understanding this biological response can help you deescalate yourself first.
