about
About
the tutorial:
The tutorial is designed to accelerate the
communication mastery process. It will empower you
in producing the results you say you want for
yourself and others.
The tutorial presents a topic for you to read.
You read the topic and post your feedback/comments
about it on a password-protected tutorial message board. The
tutorial coach
posts feedback about your post and provides personal
communication skills
coaching.
What happens is:
Without having to memorize anything, without
having to change or be different, or say things
differently, you will find yourself automatically
communicating and relating effectively more often
thereafter, for life—such is the power of
communication.

note
Note
from the Tutorial Coach:
No
matter your knowledge, understandings or
proficiencies, I can state with certainty that if
you complete the tutorial you will have a
transformed experience of self and of communication.
That is to say, it is virtually impossible for you
to complete the tutorial without it effecting you
and yours in a profound and positive way.
As a former Navy submariner and
Navy UDT (now called
SEALs)
member, and as a retired US Army Infantry Airborne
Officer, I assure you the tutorial is on the cutting
edge of leadership/team training. It picks up where
university
speech-communication courses
leave off.
If
your intention is to effect a highly organized team
through your conversations, through your leadership
skills, the tutorial is a must.
The single-most powerful barrier to being an
effective leader is one's ego. Most people will put
up with mediocrity rather than ask for support. They
will unconsciously destroy a relationship or their
reputation rather than seek out a communication-skills coach.
One of the nice things about the tutorial is that it
is educational rather than psychological or
therapeutic, therefore it's free of such
considerations.

how
How
does the tutorial work?
The
way the tutorial works is:
-
Read
the first of the three
required topics (approx
fifteen minutes per topic).
-
Post your
comments/reactions about it on a
password protected message
board.
-
Return to the
message board in about 12 hours to read the tutorial
coach's comments/feedback to your post.
-
Reply to the
coach's comments and questions through to mutual
satisfaction (some conversations require dozens
of message board posts).
-
Continue with the
next topic.
If
you are concerned about
privacy
you may request a Private
Message Board (PMB). There is a non refundable fee
of $100 for this private service. With a PMB,
others, especially other Police Tutorial
Participants, will not be able to read your
conversations with the tutorial coach. However, you
will be able to read but not post to other
participant's posts. Click
here
to pay for this option.
Keep in mind the tutorial only works if you are
wiling to be totally open and honest with the
coach. There is considerable value to be gotten
from reading other participant's posts and in
allowing them to read yours. The tutorial content
for all participants using either message board is
the same.
The topics
stimulate engaging interactions between you and the
communication-skills coach.
To
ensure optimum personal attention only a handful
of active tutorial participants are allowed at any
one time.
If we are full the
Registration Form will have a
link reading,
Notify
me of an opening.
Click the link and leave
your name and email address to be notified when
there is an opening.
Once a participant gets the hang of posting and
replying to the message board they are encouraged
to share specific professional, personnel,
relationship problems; other participants are welcome to
post feedback. The
Private
Message Board does not
allow other participants to read or comment on
your posts.
The
tutorial is designed and coached by a former US
Navy UDT member (now called SEALs) who is also a
qualified submariner and 2nd Class Hard Hat
Diver and retired US Army infantry officer and
paratrooper. The coach left the Navy to attended
college and graduated R.O.T.C. with honors and
received a Regular Commission in the Army. The
coach served two tours in Vietnam leading Army
airborne infantry units. For the past 32 years the tutorial
coach has been a communication skills consultant.
He also taught speech/communication courses
part-time at the University of Hawaii.
The
tutorial consists of the best from academic,
business, military, and various other positive
results-oriented team-leadership communication
models. The central theme throughout the tutorial
is teamwork. It is non sectarian and non
political.

promise
The
promise of the tutorial:
I promise if you complete the
tutorial you will find yourself communicating
effectively more often with
your fellow officers, community members and
family. Effectively here means,
through-to-mutual-satisfaction.

cost
How
much does it cost?
The Communication-Skills Tutorial for
Police is free.
It is paid
for by
workshop, consultation, and
lecture
donations.
Once you start
the tutorial you'll be given a password that
entitles you to free consulting, feedback/coaching
through one of our two message boards*.
*There are two tutorial message boards.
1) The free password-protected Police
Tutorial Message Board (PTMB).
The PTMB is for officers who have no
problem with fellow officers/spouses reading or
even replying to their message board
posts. This is the ideal way to do the
tutorial because you get to read other's
problems and their solutions. There is no
fee to do the tutorial using the PTMB.
pmb
2) The fee-based password-protected Private
Message Board (PMB)
The PMB is for officers who would prefer
privacy, perhaps to discuss a touchy
departmental problem. It is for an officer
who has concerns about others reading the
content of their posts. That is to say, it
is possible for a fellow officer or
superior officer in your department, who
is also doing the tutorial, to read
your posts and figure out who you are.
The tutorial does not work if you are not
willing to be completely open and
forthcoming with the tutorial coach. The
fee-based PMB supports open and honest communication
without fear of consequence. (read our
Privacy Policy)
For example: If during your teens
you grew/sold marijuana and lied about it
on your Police Application Form then this
unacknowledged perpetration is having
profound consequences. It affects each and every interaction
you have with everyone. Given that most
departments do not have an amnesty
acknowledgement process (a time to
acknowledge all perpetrations without fear
of consequence) the PMB is the
perfect place for you to acknowledge such a
perpetration. PMB posts are deleted upon
completion of the tutorial or upon request.
The PMB assures you that only the coach
will read and reply to your posts.
Those requesting the
PMB will have access to reading but not
replying to the free PTMB.
There is a $100 fee to do the
tutorial using the PMB
(pay
here).
Upon paying you'll be taken to the
Registration Form.
There is
a place on the
Registration Form
to check if you have paid for the PMB. Leave it blank if you
want to use the free PTMB.
