92: Transforming Challenges into Opportunities: Thriving in Corrections

The Prison Officer Podcast

What if I told you that the toughest challenges in the corrections field could turn into your greatest opportunities for growth? I explore my journey through the demanding landscape of corrections and shed light on a world that requires incredible resilience and determination. A recent e-mail from a correctional officer grappling with the aftermath of a workplace riot sets the stage for a broader discussion on the vital role of a supportive work culture. I highlight passion, culture, expectations, and leadership as the keys to longevity in this career.
Need help finding your passion? My workbook will walk you through the steps from Finding your Passion to developing a Personal Vision Statement to guide your life and career. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BW344T4B
