Crisis negotiators are an elite group of individuals with a vast amount of experience, skills, and knowledge. Conflict resolution is critical in the types of events that tend to require the use of tactical negotiation teams. Keeping current with necessary skills for these situations is paramount, so Texas Association of Hostage Negotiators asked the Praevius Group founder, author, and decorated war hero Nate Self to present a leadership seminar to the group in Lewisville, Texas.

“Like many of you in this room,” said Nate said, “my Special Operations team of the U.S. Army was dispatched to crisis intervention”.

Speaking to more than 300 law enforcement, mental health, criminal justice, and corrections professionals, Nate gave an insightful and inspiring account of leadership and team building that stemmed from his own extreme situation—leading a team to rescue a Navy SEAL who had fallen into the hands of al-Qaeda fighters on a high snow-covered mountain top in Afghanistan. 

 His story was featured on the front page of the Wall Street Journal, on NBC’s Dateline, and in his personal account titled  Two Wars:  One Hero’s Fight on Two Fronts—Abroad and Within. Like Nate, many crisis negotiators will face two wars—the physical battles they face on the job and the mental battles they face in the aftermath—some even develop PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder).

Combined with the release of his book Two Wars, Self is using his platform as one of the most decorated war heroes to come out of the Iraq/Afghanistan War to guide others to lead better by sharing their own stories and fight the battle of PTSD that may arise after the intervention.
