Led by former crisis negotiator Lance Burdett, our short online courses use engaging video lessons to teach practical skills for real-life challenges - how to defuse anger, how to support those who are struggling, staying safe in unpredictable situations, and how to adapt to uncertainty as well as build personal resilience.

Each course takes just 15 minutes and can be completed on any device. They’re available for individuals who want everyday tools, and for organisations as part of corporate training packages.

Instructor

Founder and Director Lance Burdett

With 22 years of policing experience at the highest level, Lance has extensive experience in responding to emergencies and communicating in challenging situations. In his 13 years as a crisis negotiator and instructor for the NZ Police, Lance specialised in suicide intervention and on predicting violent behaviour.

While working at the 111 Emergency call centre, Lance's resiliency programme was adopted nationally and formed part of the mandatory training for all Police call centre staff. This led to the founding of WARN International, assisting organisations to mitigate the effects of stress on their employees by enhancing communication skills, managing their safety & security, and by providing personal resilience coaching.
