Delivered by people who’ve been there, an “I Love U Guys” Foundation training is a special blend of emotional heart and tactical takeaways. Our instructors’ stories from inside and behind school crises illustrate the importance of planning and preparing, while our easy-to-learn protocols and methods show you how.
We work with schools, districts, departments, agencies and organizations of all sizes. And we can work with resource-constrained organizations to help find underwriters.
In response to the COVID-19 crisis, we developed livestream delivery for most of our training options. Turns out that livestream deliveries are a popular option for breakouts, professional development, and half-day offerings. Pro studios (soon, in every time zone) give you ultimate scheduling flexibility.
This was the most focused, thoughtful, engaging, and ready to implement training that I have attended.

Reunification after a violent event is a unique event. In nearly all other reunification scenarios, the school or district remains the authority. Not so in a violent event. School Safety and Violent Event Incident Management (SSAVEIM) is a 1-day course training school administrators, teachers, and public safety together.
The SSAVEIM course is delivered by our Mission Partner C3 Pathways and the National Center for Integrated Emergency Response (NCIER).

We hear it all of the time. Our training is unique. Presentation visuals, media, and a cadence grounded in real brain science and multimedia learning theory. Not death by PowerPoint. Well-versed instructors who are "practitioners" in the field. A combination of "just the facts", Bloom's Taxonomy, and storytelling, leveraging one of the most powerful learning tools humans have ever developed.
Expect real-world conversations, shared insights, and maybe even a few belly laughs.
Our in-person trainings foster a unique outcome... Teams. Multi-disciplinary, cross-jurisdictional, institutionally sustainable teams. Using proven techniques (not awkward icebreakers), we create meaningful connections between people who may have started the day as strangers.
March of 2020 gave us an opportunity to reimagine our training delivery models. By April of that year, we stood up our first Livestream Studio. Today our broadcast studios feature WireCast Production Software, Blackmagic Design 4K Studio Cameras, Panasonic Lenses, 56K balanced lighting rigs, and ATEM Switchers. And, we offer two livestream delivery options with a dedicated Producer handling all the back-end operations as well as interacting with your attendees, facilitating Q&A, and providing relevant resources as they arise.
"It felt like you were in the room." That's exactly what our Livestream Studio delivers. With an instructor presenting in front of a greenscreen that seamlessly integrates the slide deck, this immersive experience makes you feel like you're right there. The presenter moves around the studio, "working the room" to create dynamic and engaging training—straight from your computer.
Separate from our Studio offering, Livestream Zoomio is the closest thing we offer to a "traditional" Zoom presentation—only better. Our instructor will present directly from their computer, sharing the slide deck on-screen. Of course, we still incorporate some production quality commitments that enhance the learning experience beyond the typical Zoom call.
The “I Love U Guys” Foundation has a reputation for high-content, high-value, high-engagement training. Here’s a behind-the-scenes glance at how we meet that expectation with virtual delivery.

Studios in multiple time zones. Ensuring we have an instructor on hand and "in the zone". It gives you booking flexibility to meet your calendar opportunities.
More than talking over a PowerPoint, the Foundation’s virtual delivery uses high definition cameras, microphones and software to livestream our training events to a Zoom meeting for your attendees.
Our online training leverages our deep understanding of the “brain-science” behind multimedia learning. 45 - 55 minute sessions with a 15 minute break is our standard.
We’ve all probably had a “Zoomie” moment where all of the dogs in all of the rooms do a check in. Meet Baron. You might see him drop into a session from the Placitas Studio.
The "I Love U Guys" Foundation representatives have delivered Keynote presentations internationally. It is not uncommon for an audience to come to their feet at the conclusion of any one of these presentations.

With nearly 50,000 organizations using Foundation programs, John-Michael Keyes tells the story of how a simple text message, "I love you guys" has transformed crisis response in schools and communities. From the events at Platte Canyon to the core mission, this day is punctuated by Mr. Keyes' workshop delivery.
Note: The Foundation team is jealously guarding Mr. Keyes' calendar. Consequently, there is limited availability to this offering.
Note from JMK: Team: You know I can see this. Do not put me out to pasture yet. Still spritely.
The tragedy at Columbine redefined the nation. Dr. Frank DeAngelis tells his story from the events to the aftermath.
As much as we prepare and train for emergencies, there are always things we don’t expect. In this session, James Englert provides first-hand details of the shooting at Arapahoe High School from the perspective of a school resource officer (SRO) on scene.
The tragic events on September 27th 2006 at Platte Canyon High School brought two unlikely people together: A.J. DeAndrea who devised and executed the tactical plan for the hostage rescue, and John-Michael Keyes who lost his daughter, Emily. The riveting point-counterpoint of their actions on that day are only part of the story.
This presentation gives a deep dive of the events and lessons learned at Platte Canyon High School from the law enforcement perspective. A.J. DeAndrea devised and executed the tactical plan for the hostage rescue, and John-Michael Keyes lost his daugher, Emily. A SWAT Team lead and a victim's father share their experiences.
This presentation explores the interactions during the Platte Canyon High School events between a negotiator, Stacy Avila, and a 16 year old girl being held hostage. It's a powerful affirmation of a negotiator and a victim's father (John-Michael Keyes) sharing their experiences on that day and beyond.
The true enemy of a great presentation is the brain of everyone in your audience. How it's wired. How it works. How it explodes. (Figuratively, of course. None of us want actual exploding brains.) Carpe Audience exposes the science behind multimedia learning and reveals how many of today's common practices actually induce cognitive overload.
