2019-12-12 08:00 - 17:00 (America/New_York) | Baker College – Flint, 1050 W. Bristol Road, Flint, MI, 48507, United States
The Winning Mind for Women is one of the most unique and popular courses offered by the “Winning Mind Seminars” team. Sergeant Betsy Smith guides students through 8 hours of intensive, interactive training that will provide attendees with updates and information they can employ to improve and enhance both their personal and professional lives.

During this intense session students will also be exposed to:

The “Not Today” mindset, on every call, on every shift
Embracing your responsibility for your own tactics, training, survival and career
Why and how to embrace a warrior mindset regardless of your career path
The simple essentials of maintaining a great attitude
How to leave behind the “victim-based” mentality
Recognizing and taking advantage of the differences between men and women
Learning to communicate effectively with everyone in your agency and beyond
How to increase your awareness and overcome the complacency that can kill
AND MUCH, MUCH MORE……..

This training is like no other in that it encourages women, and those who train and supervise them, to look beyond the anecdotal, “that’s-the-way-we’ve-always-done-it” world of learning and utilize science, physiology and proven methods and information that will help anyone in law enforcement improve their career and their survival. Sgt. Smith’s philosophy of “teaching by storytelling” cites real-world, inspirational examples of courageous men and women whose stories stay with the attendees long after the class has concluded.

Facilitator: Sergeant Betsy Bratner Smith retired as a 29 year veteran of the Naperville, IL Police Department. She received her four year degree from Western Illinois University, and was a class officer and graduate of the Northwestern Center for Public Safety’s School of Staff and Command in 2001.
