Capability begins with awareness.
Training offering in development
Mirror Lake Training is developing an approach that connects understanding a situation with managing your own response to it. The focus is on judgment that carries beyond the classroom.
We welcome conversations with organizations about their learning needs and potential tailored engagements. A published course catalogue is not yet available.
A guiding principle
“Recognize the pressure. Understand the situation. Choose your response.”
This principle informs a developing operational training concept: recognizing pressure while retaining the ability to assess, choose and act deliberately.
Proposed learning framework
Recognize. Regulate. Reassess. Respond.
Regulate
Develop awareness of the effect pressure has on attention and behavior, and explore ways to regain enough composure to think.
Reassess
Revisit the available information, changing conditions and options before committing to a response.
Respond
Choose an action that serves the objective, then remain attentive to its effects and the need to adjust.
Tailored development
Build around the people doing the work.
Potential areas for development include operational composure, decision-making under pressure and communication in difficult situations. Police, correctional and other operational teams are possible audiences; the content and delivery requirements would be assessed with each organization.
Learning objectives, facilitator requirements, delivery format and evaluation would be defined before an engagement is offered.
