Episode 192 - Deliberate De-escalation in Crisis Response, with Ty Campbell

When we think about the art of de-escalation, we usually think about high stress jobs like law enforcement or hostage negotiators. But this week you will hear how deliberate de-escalation is a skillset that we can use during a disruption or a crisis.

Hello everyone and welcome to Episode 192 of the Resilient Journey Podcast, presented by Anesis Consulting Group! This week, we welcome Ty Campbell, a 33-year law enforcement veteran, to talk to us about the real-world power of de-escalation. Ty kicks things off with a gripping story from his career—one where calm thinking and the right words changed everything. He then walks us through how the techniques in his new book can be applied by resilience professionals, emergency managers, and crisis leaders alike. Ty shares practical advice for spokespersons facing hostile crowds and common mistakes people make when trying to de-escalate without training.
