Keystone habits, as popularized by Charles Duhigg in his book 📖 “The Power of Habit,” are small, manageable routines that trigger a cascade of positive changes in one’s life. Changing or establishing a keystone habit can set off a domino effect, leading to an overall transformation. 💪 🧘♀️ 🏋️ Keystone habits are not just any habits; they are the foundational behaviors that, once altered or instituted, create a profound impact on a person’s life. These habits serve as catalysts, initiating positive transformations that ripple through multiple aspects of one’s life. ⚖️ Just like the keystone in an arch, they are central to maintaining stability and balance. ✍️ Alan Baker #keystonehabits #healthyhabits #lifebalance #positivetransformation #ExecutiveProtectionInstitute

📖 In 1996, I embarked on my security career as a nightclub bouncer in NYC and Northern NJ, a role that unexpectedly introduced me to the world of Executive Protection (EP). My journey was anything but linear, with detours through bail enforcement and private investigation. However, a pivotal conversation with mentor Thomas LeBrun set my path firmly towards EP. 📖 Moved by the news of Gianni Versace's murder in 1997, I relocated to Miami, FL, believing the city needed skilled protectors. Navigating a new state and establishing connections proved challenging, but by 1999, I secured my first gig, leading me to a demanding yet self-defining path in celebrity protection. This environment taught me the value of resilience and adaptability as I moved from low-paying jobs to higher-profile opportunities. 📖 In the early 2000s, drawn by questions about my training, I reached out to the Executive Protection Institute, eventually joining the elite Nine Lives Associates. The training refined my skills in advanced planning and attack strategies. Working with a traveling royal family for seven years further sharpened my adaptability, transitioning from glamorous celebrity gigs to tasks like luggage management and driver oversight. 📖 Over 25 years, I've learned the vital importance of humility and openness to change in this "Fifth Profession." Finding a mentor who genuinely understands the sacrifices of this field remains crucial. As you contemplate a career in EP or a shift within the field, ask yourself if you're truly ready for the changes it requires. Your self-honesty is as impactful on your journey as your skills and experiences. Paul A. White, PPS Class 51,Providing Executive Protection Program #ExecutiveProtectionInstitute #graduate
