About Jeffrey J. Denning
I help leaders and teams mitigate pressure and uncertainty—before, during, and after crisis.Drawing from experience in high-threat, high-stress, and high-profile environments, I work with executives and individuals navigating chaos and risk. I focus on what works when things don’t go according to plan.I frequently speak, teach and advise on critical incident stress management, human dangerousness and safety, suicide risk awareness and intervention, public safety peer support, and leading teams exposed to cumulative stress and trauma.Time spent in high-risk environments has shown me what works, what doesn’t, and what really matters.
