| Oct 12 [WEBINAR] 5 ESSENTIAL RULES TO AVOID STARTUP FAILURE |
Change from reactive to proactive
Aside from facing the challenge of attempting to build a company from the ground up, the fast and furious pace of business often blurs company direction and structure. The internal demands on leadership steadily increase, and the tendency is to fix problems fast rather than strategically plan.
Learn how to:
- Develop sales culture in the midst of fast and furious growth
- Determine the right “hunter-farmer mix” for your business with corresponding behaviors and KPIs
- Groom middle managers to lead beyond just supervision with mentoring and coaching

| Oct 25 Fear as a Motivator: Staying Optimistic in a Fear-based World |
Please join us for a new Conversations That Matter discussion on the topic of “Fear as a Motivator: Staying Optimistic in a Fear-based World”. Practicing psychologist Dr. Michael Maniacci will lead the presentation. Media messages abound with the negative ramifications if you don’t buy this product or elect that candidate. With the mid-term elections and Holidays approaching, stress levels are rising.
So, how do we cope? Michael Maniacci will lead a discussion on how to keep a balanced, reflective perspective. Michael will offer tools for recognizing the motivations of others, maintaining a healthy perspective and encouraging the same in your family and friends. Michael has spoken at past Conversations That Matter events, and his talks are always thoughtful, informative and fun. |

| Oct 30 Mass Casualty Response Workshop |
The Homeland Security Training Institute at College of DuPage presents a look inside two of the largest mass casualty shootings in American history: The Pulse Nightclub shooting in Orlando, FL., and the Route 91 Music Festival in Las Vegas, NV. This important workshop will be presented by Lieutenant Douglas Goerke of the Orlando Police Department and Captain Nick Farese of the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department. A question and answer session will take place after their presentations. Take a look inside the responses to these two horrific attacks. They will discuss the response to these incidents and areas that they did well and lessons learned from the attacks.
This workshop is designed for law enforcement officers, firefighters, paramedics, trauma center and medical personnel, criminal justice and fire science students, and all public safety employees.
There are numerous lessons to be learned from responding to these horrific events and this workshop is designed to understand the response from the police officers’ perspective. What did police learn from responding to these incidents, what decisions did they need to make during a critical and stressful event, and what would they do differently based upon what they have learned?
Please join us at the Homeland Security Training Institute on October 30th for an extraordinary workshop focused on Mass Casualty Response.
Orlando Nightclub Shooting: On June 12th, 2016, a lone shooter, Omar Mateen, killed 49 and wounded 53 others at the Pulse, a gay nightclub in Orlando, FL. At the time, it was the deadliest mass shooting by a single shooter in U.S. history, being surpassed the following year by the Las Vegas shooting. Orlando Police Department (OPD) officers shot and killed the shooter after a three-hour standoff. The shooter was an American citizen who had sworn allegiance to the leader of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL).
Lieutenant Douglas Goerke - Orlando Police Department
Lieutenant Goerke is a 17½ year veteran with the Orlando Police Department. During his tenure, he has had many assignments throughout his agency including the Patrol Division, Airport Division, and Drug Unit. He has held supervisory roles in the Patrol Division, Tactical Patrol Unit as both a Sergeant and Lieutenant, The Metropolitan Bureau of Investigation as a Narcotics Supervisor and Narcotics Commander, and the Intelligence Unit. Lt. Goerke has served on the Orlando Police Department SWAT Team as an Operator, Tactical Paramedic, Team Leader, and recently left the team after 13 years as a Deputy Team Commander. He has personally been involved in hundreds of high-risk search warrants, barricaded suspect calls, dignitary protection operations, and active shooter incidents.
Lieutenant Goerke has participated in and provided active shooter training exercises to local, state, and federal law enforcement agencies, as well as provided instruction to officers/agents on Law Enforcement operations in hostile environments and providing tactical medical care to trauma and gunshot victims in a tactical environment. Lt. Goerke is a Task Force Agent with the Department of Homeland Security and currently assigned as the Orlando Police Department Intelligence Unit / Violent Crimes Initiatives Commander, as well as the Deputy Director at the Central Florida Intelligence Exchange.
Route 91 Music Festival Shooting: On October 1st, 2017, a lone shooter, Stephen Paddock, opened fire on a crowd of concertgoers at the Route 91 Harvest music festival on the Las Vegas Strip in Nevada, leaving 58 people dead and 851 injured. The shooter was an American citizen who fired more than 1,100 rounds from his suite on the 32nd floor of the nearby Mandalay Bay hotel. About an hour after he fired his last shot into the crowd, he was found dead in his room from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. His motive remains unknown. This became the deadliest mass shooting committed by an individual in American history.
Captain Nick Farese – Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department
