His team was recognised with an Australia Day award for their tireless efforts.Jason currently holds the rank of Sergeant within the RAAF Reserves and has over 16 years’ experience in the military security sector.

For over 5 years Jason managed one of the busiest Client Complaint Intake Teams in the Department of Justice and Attorney General, handling approximately 16,000 complaints and 2,000 investigations per year. It was during this time he discovered the importance of communication skills on the phone.In 2019 Jason started to deliver Tactical Communications to front line staff bringing a mix of real life and structured learning experiences to participants across Australia.Jason has just one mission “to bring you home safely”, by teaching the power of situational de-escalation in combination with workplace tactical communication practices.
Jason wanted to deliver Tactical Communications to front line staff because he realised, that after 25 years of doing difficult roles, he had never been in a training course on how to communicate effectively.
It’s a massive floor for staff in those kind of roles.
