We are not mental health professionals, nor do we claim to be; however, ATG LLC can work with you to provide resiliency training, risk recognition, and intervention skills. In the past, our members worked with mental health and education professionals to provide resiliency and intervention training to the local community. Intense and interactive training scenarios were provided over two days to a vast audience of constituents with diverse interests and cultural attitudes.

ATG LLC also provides instruction to concerned customers in the following areas: Event security procedures and protocols, residential security training and situational awareness, and international vehicle safety countermeasures. Upon request, ATG LLC can also provide courses of instruction to customers designed to help travelers heighten their sense of situational awareness and security during local and foreign travel. While some of our courses may seem unrelated, they are not. One of the tenets of the active parenting program model is based on the idea that personal safety and security are key components to providing a well-balanced and loving environment for children and parents alike. We use our experience to extend that philosophy to other facets of life most people tend to overlook.

1. There are many different management theories about leadership and professional development. Regardless of what methodology or theory is used, there is always one factor that is consistent in its importance to the overall idea of leadership. Do you know what that factor is? Several choices are listed below.

• Other people
• The environment
• You
• All of the above

2. For this training, the correct answer is, "You!" You are the most important factor in being a consistent, fair, unbiased, and even-tempered leader, associate, assistant, mentor, or person. After reading that last sentence, you may be wondering if those words apply to your situation. They do! But the first step in making them work for you is to know yourself.

3. Before you can treat other people with respect and be respected in any environment. You need to respect yourself. That means you need to be comfortable with the person that looks back at you every time you look in the mirror. That is no easy task, especially if you are unsure of how you fit into the world, or if you never had the love and support of a family unit that taught you to believe in yourself. Even with a healthy upbringing, the world is a tough place to make a living and forge new relationships. 

4. Those relationships or "life experiences" are important because they form the "pool of knowledge" you use to make decisions that will affect your life. Our goal (that's all of us), is to build a good knowledge base of experiences to choose from, as we develop a basic idea or life plan to get what we want from life.

5. However, feeling good about yourself is not always easy. Especially if every time you turn on the television or radio, or listen to music, or someone you call a friend. You are bombarded with messages that seep into your subconscious mind and affect how you view yourself and your place in the world. You are always told it is not okay to be this or to be that. Or you are told you are not true to yourself or others if you act a certain way. Or perhaps you are not good enough if your skin isn't free of pimples or your teeth are not sparkly and bright. 

6. These same media outlets also expose you to legal drugs of every sort and other substances you may already be aware of. As well as some you and your friends may have used. But where is the infomercial, text message, or T.V. pitchman telling you that you are a valuable member of society? A good person in an otherwise crazy place, and that life can be difficult and confusing, but you will be okay.

7. Sometimes there is not one! Sometimes there just isn't anyone telling you that you are on this planet for a reason and that your life is not meaningless. So guess what? If you find yourself in this situation, you will have to learn to depend on yourself. You must understand that each of us has an inner strength and the capacity to live our lives to the fullest. But to do that, you should have some core beliefs or a system of values that allows you to be successful in many different environments. Not just the one you live in.

8. The following questions are designed to increase your understanding of the importance of having a value system. 

• Is it ever okay to lie, cheat, or steal?
• You have the choice to do something painful and right or remain silent and wrong. 

9. Which would you choose? Arguably, your preference could be considered a reflection of your value system and personal level of integrity. However, what you should take away from this, is the fact that regardless of what answer you selected. You can always change, grow, and do something different with your life. To remind you of this, we included a personal formula you may find useful. 

Pride: Never be ashamed of who you are or where you are from. Hold your head up and always walk with strength, purpose, grace, and confidence. Never settle for less.

Ownership: Take charge of your life and be in control at all times. Your peers do not make decisions for you. You do! If what you are doing does not reflect high order behavior, then you need to find something that uplifts your spirit and creates pathways to success. Your life is extraordinary, and you must treat yourself with dignity and respect. If you do not, or cannot do this for yourself, why should you expect others to?

Wealth: Amass a fortune of knowledge. Regardless of your age, know what is going on around you. Familiarize yourself with the history of the world, your neighborhood, and life in general. Read, study, and learn things because if you do not, you are doomed to be spoon-fed knowledge from someone else’s perspective, and others are not always right. People are counting on you to be ignorant, uninformed, and unconcerned about the very things you need to succeed. Surprise them, always know a little about everything, until you become an expert in whatever it is that interests you.

Education: The world runs on knowledge. You are doing yourself a grave injustice if you do not apply yourself in school, work, or life. Not everyone can be a “Rocket Scientist.” However, you may very well be one, but if you do not apply yourself, you will never know. Quite often, peers or those some consider to be “friends” criticize or make fun of those that do well in school. This can cause problems for some people, because they may engage in low order behavior to “fit in” with the group. However, if you read sections ‘P’ and ‘O,’ you know that is not what you should be doing. Remember, never let others dictate the way you will live your life. Our system of education is free, take advantage of it.

Respect: Respect does not come at the end of a gun. You cannot get it by talking the loudest or being the biggest, nor will it magically appear because of the type of car you drive. Respect is earned. Respect is earned through the continued application and hard work that business professionals   put into being ethical, knowledgeable, honest, and disciplined. Some may call that being “soft” or “selling out.” But remember, to be successful in this world, you must have the ability to work well with everyone, regardless of race, gender, or sexual orientation. And you must be able to do that in any environment, anyplace and anytime. So who is the sellout? You, or those that would hold you back?

Pride, Ownership, Wealth, Education and Respect.
