Future-Proof Your Business: The Resiliency Academy Advantage.
I spent over a decade working in federal government crisis management before transitioning to the private sector. When I made that shift, I assumed that convincing businesses to prioritize life safety would be straightforward. I quickly learned that wasn’t the case.
The terminology and approaches I had relied on in government—words like "incident commander," "sitrep," or "ops tempo"—didn't resonate with corporate leaders. In the private sector, crisis management isn’t just about emergency response; it’s about protecting profits, maintaining operations, and ensuring business continuity. I had to completely reframe my approach to make preparedness relevant in a business context.
So, my team and I built something different. We created a training program designed for the private sector, by the private sector—one that speaks the language of business while still preparing organizations for any crisis. That’s how The Resiliency Academy was born.
What Makes The Resiliency Academy Different?
Unlike many crisis training programs that take a one-size-fits-all approach based on government models, The Resiliency Academy is practical, action-oriented, and designed with business leaders in mind. We don’t just teach theory—we give participants real-world strategies they can use immediately.
Key Features of the Academy:
Real-World Learning: Hands-on exercises, case studies, and crisis simulations.
Industry-Recognized Certification: Attendees earn 16 Continuing Education Units (CEUs) applicable toward ASIS security certifications, DRII recertifications (CEAP number 6.0), and IAEM’s Certified Emergency Manager (CEM) accreditation. These 16 CEUs provide a valuable opportunity for professionals seeking to maintain their credentials and demonstrate their expertise in crisis management.
Led by Industry Experts: Our sessions are curated by professionals who’ve led crisis management for organizations like Disney, Walmart, American Airlines, and UCLA.
