100's of Combined Years in Military Service
FINAO's highly-engaging keynote speakers and workshop facilitators not only bring vast amounts of real-world experience from the literal and figurative battlefields of combat and business but also higher education such as MBAs and Entrepreneurs. We invest meaningful time in development, analysis, and planning for all events as well as perform after-action reviews and provide reporting deliverables complete with recommendations for organizational design and development enhancements. Our engaging talks include topics that can be applied to leadership at all levels. FINAO's unmatched Rolodex of speakers highlight stories from the battlefield, the lessons learned, and how those lessons apply to leadership at any level across any type of organization or team. With a focus on the culture of leadership and decision making the audience will leave with tools that they can start applying to their personal and professionals lives immediately.

Any Military, law enforcement, or corporate personnel that is open to comparing stories from the battlefield, the lessons learned, and how those lessons apply to leadership at any level across any type of organization or team.

Training Evaluation
Attendees will be provided with an informal survey that is designed using a Likert Scale. The survey will be optional for attendees, and if filled out, the attendee will return the survey to the speaker.
Seminar
First-hand accounts of significant historical events that have occurred on the battlefield. We will correlate battlefield operations and mental toughness, the culture/mental attitude of the NSW warfighter, and the importance of mentorship.
​
Those in attendance will be able to take specific lessons learned from some of the most dynamic direct action missions encountered in the last two decades, and factor critical talking points into future mission planning and execution.
Team Building Experiences & Retreats
We offer highly engaging team-building experiences and retreats which can be a great addition to a keynote or workshop or exist as a stand-alone event. These adventures can range from Navy SEAL-style boot camps (geared towards all fitness levels) and mission planning operations to creative team building exercise and exciting competitions. We also offer high-end executive retreats that will transform both the individual attendees as well as the group. Corporate retreats allow for an organization to grow together as a company, and for participants to join in team building activities and share unique experiences. Attendees with leave not only feeling energized but transformed and having a new outlook on their personal and professional lives.
Training Philosophy/Strategies
The training will incorporate the core principles of Andragogy. To this extent the training staff will:
-
Address the learner's need to know (why/what/how)
-
Deliver the symposium with a focus on solving a problem
-
Experience with the subject matter to the greatest extent as is possible.
Motivational tactics will focus on providing intrinsic and extrinsic motivation in accordance with John Keller's motivational theory of Attention, Relevance, Confidence, and Satisfaction (ARCS).
