    Know Thyself | James Hamilton

    Do you know who you are and why you do what you do? Knowing oneself is essential for protectors, especially as they transition from military or law enforcement to the private security sector. Many professionals might believe they understand their identity, yet in this episode, we discuss how introspection can make you a better protector. This week, we're joined by James Hamilton, founder of the Hamilton Security Group, where we explore: Why is it important to know yourself as a person when entering and operating in protection?What factors from your past do you need to acknowledge and understand to be an effective protector?Do those who have not come from the services have an advantage or a different method of 'knowing' themselves?Does this methodology help protectors plug skills gaps?Do you need to truly understand protector colleagues as they understand themselves for operational success?

    Future EP Services | Live At the Ninth Annual Executive Security & CP Technology Forum London

    What if the modernization of EP is more about the protector themselves and less about the type of service offered? Following the last four years we have seen a push to include more desk based intelligence services but can anything replace the 'last ten feet'? Join us where we review a live recording from the Ninth Annual Executive Security and CP Technology Forum in London with a fantastic international panel with representatives from the UK, Mexico, US and Germany to address the balance between the modernization of the service and those serving: What new services will clients ask for in 2024?How can you get direct access to the principal to ask what they actually want?How is the EP scene today in Germany, UK, US and Mexico?What does the modernization of the protector actually look like?Does modernization have to mean the adoption of technology?

    Breaking Down Barriers & Unlocking Doors with Higher Education | Craig Smith

    Are Master's degrees designed for your employment prospects or personal fulfilment? This week, we’re joined by Craig Smith from Minerva Elite Performance, who shares his thoughts on the importance and value of higher education within the security industry. In this episode, we examine how higher qualifications like Masters or PhDs could potentially differentiate professionals in this field, add value to their careers, and even provide a 'key' to open doors to opportunities. Craig emphasizes the importance of knowing one's purpose or the 'why' before pursuing higher education and the values of institutional support and engaging subject specialists. The conversation also touches on the impact of business and management education, and we’ll try to break down some of the perceived 'barriers' around higher education. Tune in to hear this wide-ranging discussion including:The Allure of Tertiary Qualifications for ProtectorsThe Role of Higher Education in Enhancing EmployabilityIs there a Danger of Overqualifying Yourself?How can protectors differentiate between higher education providers?What do all the levels actually mean?
