Bio: Headquartered in Winter Park, Florida, the Center for Aggression Management was founded by John D. Byrnes, D.Hum. 24 years ago in 1993. Byrnes is a successful businessman, author and lecturer who became interested in the subject of aggression management after concluding that there were no comprehensive training programs dedicated to preventing aggression in the workplace. His research revealed that conventional approaches to deal with conflict and violence were not working. He therefore created the Center for Aggression Management® to fill this void and provide organizations with the much-needed Aggression Management® Skills. These human-based skills have demonstrated to employers that they can prevent aggression rather than merely react to it; by a cross-section of employers they have proven to be effective in diminishing aggression and increasing productivity. Following 9/11, Byrnes developed the predecessor to the Critical Aggression Prevention System (CAPS), a scientifically-validated effective method of identifying a terrorist.
Byrnes was selected by the US Department of Labor to represent the United States at the Violence as a Workplace Risk Conference held in Montreal, Canada. This conference is a joint effort by the United States, Canada and Mexico through the North American Agreement on Labor Cooperation (NAALC), the NAFTA labor side agreement.
Byrnes authored the NaBITA Threat Assessment Tool, now being use by Behavior Intervention Teams in over 177 college and university campuses to assess the risk of violence. Byrnes developed the Critical Aggression Prevention System (CAPS), which now allows employers to achieve the highest form of Evidence-based Best Practices.
Byrnes has conducted seminars and workshops for some of our country’s largest corporations, organizations and schools: United States Post Service, NASA; Disney Development Company, Florida Hospitals, Kean University’s Student Intervention Team, University of Mississippi’s (Ole Miss) Student Intervention Team, US Army Center for Civilian Human Resource Management, Mississippi Safe Schools Center, numerous school districts across the country, as well as many National Associations: NASB (National Association of School Boards), TASB (Texas Association of School Boards), ASIS (American Society of Industrial Security), Alliance for American Insurers, MAPI (Manufactures Alliance), PESA (Petroleum Equipment Suppliers Association), ASLET (American Society of Law Enforcement Trainers), AIA (American Insurance Association), AORN (Association of Operating Room Nurses). VPPPA Annual National Conference: (Voluntary Protection Programs Participants' Association, FWCI (Florida Workers' Compensation Education Conference), Alabama Governor's Safety & Health Conference, The Florida Psychological Association has recommended Aggression Management® Workshops to all its psychologists. Byrnes has been an advisor to the Florida Partnership for Safety and Health. Byrnes was a founding member of the Advisory Board for the Center for Entrepreneurship at Crummer Graduate School of Business, Rollins College, Winter Park FL. He received an honorary doctorate of humanities in 2000 for his discovery and development of Aggression Management. -
