Javidi, internationally certified on the use of both diagnostics, will discuss each assessment in a case study situation, sharing data from select law enforcement sworn officers in the United States.

Using current research and examples of this work in policing, Heather Clayton will help participants deepen their understanding of what complex leadership could look like in our current era. She will explore three key principles with strategies based on these questions, their impact on culture, and some lived examples. Participants will walk away with a clear understanding of these fundamental ideas and strategies, and how they create space for growth, learning, and transformation.
