The National Fraternal Order of Police Says...

 Your presentation and engagement with each of the participants show your commitment to the first responder community. This in-person workshop provided valuable feedback and class participation throughout. Sharing real-life stories in a classroom setting has given me a new perspective on in-person peer training. As a testament to your training, every member remained for 40 minutes after the conclusion of the workshop for an optional Q&A, which is unheard of in my experience. Thank you for your dedication and commitment to improving the lives of our first responders.

 It didn’t take long before they connected with Dr. Donnie.   They began participating by asking and answering questions, realizing the value this Work-Life Balance Workshop provided.  98% of the comments were 5 stars with heartfelt comments. Glowing reviews received where more than one read, “This class should be attended by all officers, preferably at the beginning of their careers to help them navigate their life path. I wish I had attended this class sooner.”  

 This workshop was incredible to be a part of but what puts this over the top is Dr. Donnie Hutchinson. His knowledge, passion and personal experience sets this workshop apart from many I have attended in my career. I have personally thanked Dr. Hutchinson but with this letter wanted to publicly say, Thank you, Doc!    

I have used these methods in my life now for several months and will say, without doubt, I am a better leader at work and a better husband to my wife of 30 years.  

I recommend this workshop for everyone but especially those in the law enforcement profession. We get one shot at this life, make it worth every second! 

Dr. Donnie effectively teaches all participants how to balance the demands of the job with the needs of the employee and their families.  Dr. Donnie has the heart of a teacher and a passion for the subject that is conveyed throughout the training. After the training session, Dr. Donnie met individually with attendees and offered support with the implementation of their work-life balance plan. One student said, “Learned to prioritize my family and also make time for myself. Spending more time with my husband (date night). Thank you for being an amazing speaker!”  This kind of dedication and conviction in the importance of a work-life balance plan is the reason why we recommend this training for public safety employees.
