Jacque Brittain, LPC, emphasizes that storytelling is a vital leadership skill—crucial for communication, influence, and credibility—urging loss prevention professionals to master this art to strengthen reports, inspire teams, and drive results.

Loss prevention professionals face unique mental health challenges due to high-stress, high-risk job environments, and accessible therapy options can help them build resilience and sustain long-term well-being.

In an increasingly unpredictable world, businesses must adopt a dynamic and regularly updated resilience strategy—guided by tools like the PESTEL framework—to proactively manage evolving threats across political, economic, social, technological, environmental, and legal dimensions.

Available on-demand now, this 90-minute webinar focuses on how retailers are strengthening preparedness plans, safeguarding their operations, and prioritizing the wellbeing of their employees.
