As a retired detective, Carl uses his extensive experience to teach his audience the SLAP technique. He recounts operational stories, including one where he was shot at six times but managed to send the culprit to prison. A year later, he received a national bravery award, followed by a diagnosis of PTSD and the personal battles he endured.
Carl eventually took control of his condition, leading to the creation of his SLAP Technique. His inspirational story helps organizations undergoing change to look after their staff’s health and happiness.
