Culture First: The Full Workshop
Workshop8 Hours
Built on the practices of the world's most elite military and law enforcement units, this full-day workshop delivers the complete Culture First framework — nine practices, concrete tools, and a Monday-morning implementation plan for leaders ready to build a culture that performs under pressure.
Culture First: Overview
Keynote / Seminar2–4 Hours
Drawing from the world's most elite special operations and law enforcement units, Jon reveals the nine practices that separate high-performing teams from everyone else — and shows how any organization can adopt them.
Building Culture Intentionally
Keynote1 Hour
Culture forms whether you build it or not — the only question is whether you're in charge of it. Jon draws on the most intentional organizations on earth to show leaders how to diagnose the culture they have and deliberately build the one they want.
Read the practice →Standards Are What You Tolerate
Keynote1 Hour
Your values statement doesn't define your culture — your behavior does. Jon shows leaders why the gap between stated and enforced standards is the most destructive force in any organization, and exactly how to close it.
Read the practice →Not Deciding is a Decision
Keynote1 Hour
Elite units don't wait for perfect information — they build systems that make better decisions faster under pressure. Jon breaks down the decision-making architecture of the world's most effective teams and shows leaders how to build it in their own organizations.
Read the practice →Kissing Frogs Enthusiastically
Keynote1 Hour
Hiring is the most consequential decision a leader makes, and most organizations treat it like an afterthought. Jon applies the selection science of the world's most demanding units to give leaders a practical framework for finding the right people — and keeping the wrong ones out.
Read the practice →Thank You For Disagreeing
Keynote1 Hour
The best teams in the world argue — and it makes them better. Jon unpacks the deliberate collaboration practices of elite tactical units to show leaders how to build a culture where disagreement is a competitive advantage, not a threat.
Read the practice →Lessons Learned from The Debrief
Keynote2 Hours
Across seven seasons and 1.5 million listens, The Debrief has documented the most consequential critical incidents in modern law enforcement history — and the same patterns keep emerging. Jon delivers those hard-won lessons directly to tactical leaders and their agencies.
