We've learned that the biggest impact to prevention is a healthy culture.
Leader 360º Course is where leaders learn to create a holistic culture of trust, respect and awareness. Our dedicated team is comprised of subject matter experts in diverse fields, most of whom possess military experience as well. The Leader 360º Course uses a science-based, holistic, integrative resiliency approach designed to address every aspect of the Leader's well-being which will allow them to support their service member's help-seeking behaviors, and create a positive organizational environment to include spouses and families.
We Believe
Mind
Unlocking the power of the mind allows individuals to not only heal and recover, but also to push themselves to their maximum potential, and reach beyond preconceived, self-imposed limitations. The 360° training program emphasizes individual differences, trauma recovery, and psychological healing. The course embraces traditional, conventional, modern, and integrative techniques. This includes meditation, relaxation, hypnosis, critical thinking, formal lecture, and guided discussion.
Body
A healthy body is the perfect environment to ensure the continued well-being of the mind, and forms the foundation for overall health. Our approach to physical health includes managing stress, improving sleep, managing pain, injury recovery, improving physical training, nutrition, and preventative medicine.
Spirit
Every warrior culture equips its fighters with knowledge, skills, and tools, but it is the human will that makes these things effective. In the immortal words of George Patton, “Wars may be fought with weapons, but they are won by men. It is the spirit of the men who follow and of the man who leads that gains that victory.” Through our program, leaders learn to regain balance and hone their fighting spirit and draw it out of their troops.
Relationships
Relationship health refers to our ability to form relationships, interact with others, and thrive in social settings. This includes relationships at work, home, and away from home in recreational and leisure activities. 360° provides training in active listening, relationship building and repair, conflict management, anger management, team building, and cooperation techniques.
Financial
Disciplined spending and delayed gratification are the cornerstones of financial stability. Our financial experts meet one-on-one for custom tailored consultations to assist service members (and their spouses) with goal setting, budget creation, spending habit analysis, and plans of action to reach short-term and long-term goals.
