The LeaderistEP 23 - Lexi & CaliWhat's the deal with all of the LEO fitness researchers and experts lately? Lexi and Cali talk about their passion for one of the biggest Wellness factors in the police career field, physical training. We've had several guests who provided the basis for why fitness is such a necessary component to performance and longevity. Now, your hosts discuss exactly what it's like to try and get that kind of culture change in motion when officers are simply in survival mode.

What he eventually established was some of the first comprehensive studies done with new recruits regarding fitness and performance. His hard work has fueled many of us in the field and this conversation served as further motivation to create a structure that can stand long after you've moved on. Charlie certainly did just that.

2021-05-171h 18The LeaderistEP 20 - Chris McQuilkinAre coaching and leading one in the same? Chris "Tex" McQuilkin of Power Athlete says no. His expertise as a longtime coach isn't the only thing to qualify him to speak on the subject of leadership. He's also obsessed with studying how best to communicate and connect with athletes. The parallels between sport and police work are innumerable and as he points out "It's not what you say, it's what people hear". This and so many other incredible takeaways for aspiring leaders in our communities. Tex also provides guidance for getting buy-in from officers who are reluctant to train.

How do we encourage those who are scared of police or who hate officers to engage in meaningful conversation? We dive into how to maintain a healthy mindset during these exceptionally challenging times.

Freddy said he was able to protect his love for community and police work during the last few years simply by knowing his identity was more than just his occupation. We are grateful for life lessons from this dynamic guest and former LEO.
2021-04-0558 minThe LeaderistEP 15 - Kaz KazadiWhat makes Kaz Kazadi an incredible human is not his athletic skill, coaching prowess, or even his vast historical knowledge, it's his ability to inspire. His story of coming to America from Zaire (currently the Democratic Republic of Congo) is unique but his experience as a man of color is not. Kaz leads us through his personal philosophy for questioning everything and taking nothing for granted as well as embracing discomfort. He's leading his college age athletes with these values and we are honored to apply them to our work in law enforcement.
