Nate Self Keynote Speaker at 12th Annual FAHN Conference
Nate Self was the keynote speaker on June 16th at the 12th Annual Conference of the Florida Association of Hostage Negotiators (FAHN), held in Maitland, Florida. FAHN is an association of law enforcement, mental health, criminal justice and corrections professionals, which is over 800 members strong. The men and women who make up the membership are dedicated to crisis intervention in a variety of situations, which require a highly skilled negotiator to bring about a successful resolution. Approximately 160 of our nation’s law enforcement heroes were in attendance at the conference.
Nate spoke on the topics of Leadership, Storytelling, and Post- traumatic Stress Disorder. Former Army Ranger Colonel (Retired) Danny McKnight (3rd Ranger Battalion Commander in Mogadishu, Somalia in 1993) made a surprise visit during Nate’s presentation. Following the session, a former FAHN President–Captain Brent Coughlin of the Leon County Sheriff’s Office–made Nate the first Honorary Member of FAHN.
