Fueling Resilience: Leading Yourself First to Turn Pressure Into Growth
Thursday September 3, 2026 8:30am - 10:00am EDT
Before leaders can lead others, they must first lead themselves. In an era where uncertainty challenges even the most seasoned professionals, Michael Laidler empowers audiences to strengthen their mindset behind exceptional self-leadership. Drawing on two decades in law enforcement and his Failure F.U.E.L.S. Growth framework, he reveals how to transform internal pressure into fuel for growth and success. Through real-life stories and actionable strategies, Michael shows leaders how to build resilience that lasts when it matters the most. Perfect for law enforcement agencies looking to strengthen their leadership ranks, equip frontline teams, elevate command-staff development, or engage professional associations.

Healthy-ish Eating & Sleep
Thursday September 3, 2026 10:30am - 11:30am EDT
“Healthy-ish” will dispel the illusion that there is a “perfect diet” for all law enforcement officers. LEOs face a variety of challenges when it comes to eating well and recovering from a shift. This LEO-specific approach will zone in on challenges and typical gaps in nutrition discovered through eight years of experience and hundreds of station visits.
Through this session, you will understand tangible, realistic nutrition interventions for improving energy levels, mood, and performance. You’ll also discover tips and tricks for eating well on day and midnight shifts and learn how to make healthier choices when packaged food and fast food are the only options available. This presentation will give you the tools to perform better mentally and physically on shift work.
