Speaking out is noble. Ducking for cover is understandable. Everyone gets to choose for themselves how open they want to be, but what if you’re more exposed than you think? A bad actor’s ability to harm is limited only by information and imagination.

The good news is that the strongest defense only requires a little awareness and a mindset of security… LifeSec (a.k.a., Life Security).

LifeSec is an enhanced form of the Operations Security Skills I taught at the DoD and is specifically designed for real people and their real lives. Let me show you how to be safer at work, at home, online – everywhere!

Have you ever faced the frustration of people making mountains out of molehills? Complaining loudly and often about "simple" things that could be solved if they just put in a little more effort?

But what if it's not as simple as you think?

In this talk, Jeremy will explain how failing to apply empathy and perspective made employee parking one of the most hotly debated downsides of working for the National Security Agency.

Why is it so hard to build meaningful connections as a leader? Despite all your efforts to be open and accommodating, somehow people still keep their distance and won’t approach even when there are critical issues brewing that you should have been informed about long prior.

Why do employees score execs down for 'communication' on the company survey year after year after year?

Let Jeremy explain how attempts to close the "us vs them" divide will fail if you're suffering from misconceptions about what is and what isn't listening.

A common frustration among NSA leaders I counseled was engagement. Why don’t people open up and actually raise issues instead of stewing silently?

To answer that question, I’ll lead you through the story of the single most-successful attempt to elicit the true thoughts of employees that I ever saw… and how the opportunity was squandered when leadership didn’t know how to follow through on the feedback they received.
