  • The three components of self-defense.

    Clint Cloys, Owner & Instructor, Circle City Safety

    TOPIC CATEGORY: Self Improvement

    When you think about self defense, you need to approach it from a military or police mindset. That means, your defenses need to be in place before the need occurs. If you think about the modern military or even medieval military, the castle, the walls, moats, forts, bunkers, etc. were all put into place before any attack occurred. MORE >

    They put these measures in place in anticipation of a possible attack. If they waited for the first shots to be fired and the approach of the enemy, it would be way too late. Same with police officers - their bullet proof vests are designed to defend them from gun fire. However, the officer must put the vest on before he or she goes out on patrol. If they wait until a gun is drawn on them, again it is way too late. This is the mindset that you need to have when you think about your own defense.

  • Finding Dominoes: Changing Your World One Encounter At A Time

    Gary Sinclair, Director and Founder, Never Quit Climbing

    TOPIC CATEGORY: Motivational

    Let's face it, most people eventually wonder if they're making a real difference because of what they do, who they are or how much they've accomplished. This is especially true for those who work with people in education, medicine, mental health, faith institutions, non-profits and the like. They often don't see the results of their work or relationships in general, so get discouraged and sometimes ready to quit. This presentation will help change hearts, minds and attitudes through real-life stories and principles that show how impacting just one person can literally over time touch tens, scores, hundreds, even thousands whether they see the results or not. MORE >

    Gary compares the process to a large domino display where a first domino must be pushed to start a chain reaction of other dominoes that impact other dominoes, etc. The audience begins to see how they too can impact far more than they'll ever know and in fact, probably already do. This presentation is powerful and often brings tears to the eyes of teachers, doctors, nurses, counselors, church workers and even service workers who serve in restaurants or cut hair. Each person in the audience also gets a domino to take with them and remind them to keep their eyes, ears and hearts open to who might be the "first domino" for them that day.

  • Never Quit Climbing: Overcoming Life’s Seemingly Insurmountable Mountains

    Gary Sinclair, Director and Founder, Never Quit Climbing

    We all have mountains to climb, some big, some little. But often when confronted with ours, they seem like Mt. Everest or Denali. They loom large and take our breath and motivation away making it difficult to even start to overcome them. But Gary and his wife, avid hikers, were forced to face a mountain with Jackie, her stage 3 cancer. And when this new peak in their lives threatened to paralyze them by its size and magnitude they began with God's help to climb it the way they climbed actual mountains of granite... one switchback at a time. MORE >

    Together they learned practical strategies for both preparing for any personal mountain, getting started, looking for potential problems and getting up the trail a little bit at a time. Gary uses both humor and poignant illustrations to keep audiences on the edge of their seat while able to take something with them to tackle their own challenges.
