Cirrus Aircraft: Active Threat Preparedness That Builds Confidence

Industry: Aviation and manufacturing
Focus: Active threat preparedness and workplace safety

Cirrus Aircraft partnered with Blue Ethos for practical active threat preparedness grounded in real workplace decisions. The program addressed a difficult subject in a way that was approachable, realistic, and focused on preparing people to act under pressure.

“The Blue Ethos team are so great to work with. Their approach to Active Threats from a people perspective is so refreshing. The topic can be quite emotional for some and the way they train takes away that emotion and truly prepares you. I truly think their methods will save many lives. Not only that, but they are great to work with, flexible and offer genuine care to the folks they work with. Highly recommend.”

— Alanna Lee, Safety Director, Cirrus Aircraft

Park Rapids Healthcare Training: Measurable Confidence in De-escalation and Active Threat Response

Industry: Healthcare
Focus: De-escalation and active threat response

Blue Ethos helped deliver a training session for a large group of healthcare workers in Park Rapids. The organizers used pre- and post-presentation surveys to evaluate how prepared and confident attendees felt in their de-escalation and active threat response skills.

“We co-hosted a large group of healthcare workers with overwhelming positive feedback received from the group. Opting to survey pre- and post-presentation, there was improvement in how attendees felt that they were prepared and confident in their own skills related to de-escalation strategies and active threat response. The presenter was engaging, easy to listen to, and easy to ask questions of. I do not hesitate to recommend this group.”

— Janine Brostrom, Park Rapids healthcare training organizer
