MAGNUS Leadership Training for Public Safety

We live in a rapidly changing world, and as culture changes, leaders must adapt. Daily, public safety personnel face volatility and uncertainty while on the job. As a result, fire and police professionals are experiencing increased stress levels from the heightened criticism they face from the public. This requires staff to build higher capacities for leadership, performance, and well-being to better maneuver and navigate our new reality.

The California JPIA is partnering with National Command and Staff College to provide our member police and fire personnel access to MAGNUS Leadership and Resiliency Training. This two-day in-person classroom training – provided at no cost to members – will take place October 11–12, 2022, at the Authority’s campus in La Palma. This course is a theoretical, scientific, and practical approach to increasing leadership capacity, taught by instructors Dr. Mitch Javidi, retired Chief David Dominguez, and retired Chief Mark Garcia. It teaches attendees positive tactical intelligence and psychological triggers to activate deeper self-awareness, self-control, and resilience techniques for enhanced performance and well-being.

Course outcomes include:

• Increased understanding of agency culture and dealing with volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity.
• An understanding of expectancy and reversal theories for enhanced leadership, resiliency, and wellbeing.
• Improved comprehensive emotional intelligence and cognitive learning tools to enhance leadership and resiliency.

This member-only training is limited to 50 public safety personnel. Breakfast and lunch will be provided during both training days, and discounted hotel rooms are available for those traveling. Visit the information page to register.

Sworn officers in attendance will receive 16 hours of Continuing Professional Training (CPT) for the State of California Commission on Peace Officers Standards and Training (POST) upon completion.
