Exceptional Training for Law Enforcement,

Education & Social Services Professionals

Amazing class! I learned many new skills … . Jamie’s humor and energy made the class exciting. This should be a mandatory class for all staff at the department. Jamie is an excellent instructor.

This seminar provided real tools that I can take back and implement immediately to create change. The information about old brain/new brain (neurobiological responses) to fear was amazing and I can take that back to make officers and the public safer. It gives me hope with all that is happening with police shootings. We can fix this and now, I know how.

Hands down, best instructor I’ve had in my career. As a Supervisor, I love hearing the custody staff talking about the class and what they learned. This is my third class with [Jamie] and they rocked it again. I am actively using the realistic, simple and effective tools I have learned and can’t wait until I can take another one of Wolf’s classes.

Jamie, … facilitated a three day Executive Seminar for our department.  The training was exceptional and a profound team-building experience. Because of the overwhelming success of the seminar, we extended the training to all of our leadership team, including first line supervisors in the field and institutions. The training included Leadership Competencies, Competent Communication, Ethics and Risk Management. The training received very positive reviews, so we invited Wolf back to provide Ethics and Risk Management training for all of our sworn and non-sworn staff.

Jamie, thank you so much for your wisdom, expertise, sharing and questions.

This is one of the most powerful experiences I have ever participated in!

Over my 16-year career I have honestly never attended a training, that was taught by a Probation Officer, that was solely focused on helping us deal with our own mental health and resiliency. I have attended thousands of hours of training, and none of them really hit home like some of the things you discussed today. Over my career I have been in every assignment in Probation, including working in the Juvenile Hall, Juvenile Probation, Courts, Alternative Sentencing, Adult Jail, supervised general probation cases, and supervised PRCS and 290s. It was not until I left my special assignment that I realized how much my career has dramatically changed me and unfortunately negatively affected the relationships with my loved ones. I was always the one saying, that won’t happen to me, but unfortunately it did. The reason why I even bring this up, is I just wanted to thank you. Thank you for the training you are doing and thank you for having the passion you have.

We are very pleased with the outcomes of this developmental training and it is a pleasure to hear staff talking about, and more importantly, practicing what they learned.  I highly recommend Island Consulting & Training and the evaluations from my staff support this endorsement of superior training.  Jamie Wolf customized our training to meet our specific needs, and I am aware that they have customized training for a number of Probation Departments.  Wolf is a talented instructor, facilitator, and trainer and we are looking forward to having them work with us on other training ventures.

Jamie has deep, deep knowledge of how to build teams, communicate in ways that work for everyone and is a highly skilled facilitator. I gained many new tools and frameworks to help me improve my relationships at work and in my personal life. As a team, we up-leveled our communication skills and our commitment to our success. – Executive Manager

Island Consulting & Training [delivered] an [Ethical Decision Making & Risk Management] class for 95 of our … Department’s supervisors and managers. As a Training Manager, I expect the best training for our staff and Jamie Wolf exceeded my standards.

… I attended [two of] your [live on-line] classes this week. … your classes were the most significant and informative classes I’ve attended since being employed as a JIO in my 21 year career. Thank you. … Thanks again, GREAT CLASSES!! Keep up the good and Meaningful work.

After your [Motivational Interviewing and Training for Trainers] courses, I made a connection with the kids for the first time while teaching. I feel effective for the first time in my job. Thank you.

This seminar provided real tools that I can take back and implement immediately to create change. The information about old brain/new brain (neurobiological responses) to fear was amazing and I can take that back to make officers and the public safer. It gives me hope with all that is happening with police shootings. We can fix this and now, I know how.

Now I understand current police shootings: the science behind it and how to prevent it through training. This should be mandatory training. Charismatic, motivational instructor … most thought provoking class I’ve ever taken.

You are an amazing teacher, facilitator and consultant. I appreciate the wealth of thought-provoking information you shared with us and the discussions you lead.

One of the most thought provoking and self reflective trainings I have [participated in]. [I am] definitely leaving feeling inspired.” ” Best training I’ve had.” “Made me believe in myself and [my] qualities. I know now what I must do to be a great leader.” “I am grateful I got this opportunity to invest in my self and learn things I will use to continue to grow.” “I truly enjoyed learning about myself and the way I learn and the areas I can grow. Thank you for showing interest in who we really area as individuals.” “Took away so many valuable lessons. Thank you so much for everything you do.” “Jamie is great!! Awesome!! Made people come out of their comfort zone and that helped me have more confidence in myself. Thank you, Jamie.

I feel so privileged to have had the opportunity to participate in your training…I feel I have grown so much personally and professionally through your sessions over the last several weeks.

Since having this training [Ethical Decision Making & Risk Management], the morale change within the department was immediately visible, and I have received numerous requests to bring Jamie back for additional training. By far, this has been the best training I have attended in the past ten years. You will not be disappointed!

… As a seasoned, professional facilitator, Jamie presented and demonstrated the core values of integrity, courage, honesty & trustworthiness. Wolf demonstrated that ethics can be modeled, chosen, distinguished and applied. We learned that it is a decision available each day; so each day, we have an option and an opportunity to make a different choice. Additionally, Jamie verbalized and described some of the root causes of fear/addiction; and classified one of the leading, underlying causes that prevents ethics from being a chosen response … This class changed the quality of my life & work!

Understanding the learning process beginning with unconscious incompetence was extremely useful to me. This helps me to better evaluate and understand the training needs of different staff. Great tool.

Thank you for opening my eyes!

… my department has been sending me to your trainings for over a year now, and I have found them extremely helpful not just in my professional life but in my personal life as well. It makes me happy that I work for a department that PAYS me to attend your trainings, which is something I can’t quite believe as I’m sure training of this caliber isn’t cheap. I just wanted to give you kudos for the great work you do. Thank you.

By far, the best training I have attended during my 22 year career in law enforcement.

Love the tools provided and also love the way Jamie paints pictures with words and provides meaningful examples.

Phenomenal seminar! We need more of this.

Now I understand current police shootings: the science behind it and how to prevent it through training. This should be mandatory training. Charismatic, motivational instructor … most thought provoking class I’ve ever taken.

Thank you so much for always providing our department with the outstanding training that you share with our staff. The Leadership Academy was no different, I was approached on several occasions by some of the staff attending the Leadership Academy and heard nothing but positive comments on how much they were enjoying their leadership training!!

I love listening to Jamie speak. Jamie provides real life scenarios from direct experience in law enforcement that cause us to think. Jamie’s stories and wisdom are something that make their classes enjoyable. I really enjoyed learning about implicit bias.

Jamie is a communication and professional relationship ninja! I learned a communication tool, a way of thinking about workplace relationships in every moment during the workshop. – Private Sector I.T. Executive
