Situation Improvement Strategist

By day I work with inmates who are involved with substance abuse treatment programming and, on the side, I provide on-going guidance and support to people who have taken my 'hero training' program. In the hero training program, I teach people that they have the power to intervene and improve situations - for themselves and others - and I teach them all the things that they need to know in order to be effective in their role as a 'situation technician.' Then, once they begin to apply their knowledge, I help them to figure out how to overcome obstacles and opposition to whatever positive changes that they are making in their daily life circumstances.
