Know Thyself | James Hamilton

Do you know who you are and why you do what you do?


Knowing oneself is essential for protectors, especially as they
transition from military or law enforcement to the private
security sector. Many professionals might believe they understand
their identity, yet in this episode, we discuss how introspection
can make you a better protector.


This week, we're joined by James Hamilton, founder of the
Hamilton Security Group, where we explore:


Why is it important to know yourself as a person when
entering and operating in protection?

What factors from your past do you need to acknowledge and
understand to be an effective protector?

Do those who have not come from the services have an
advantage or a different method of 'knowing' themselves?

Does this methodology help protectors plug skills gaps?

Do you need to truly understand protector colleagues as they
understand themselves for operational success?
