This week's episode of Lifelong Learner podcast we are joined by special guest Derrick McManus. Derrick is a former police officer from the South Australian Star Group Special Operations Division, shares his gripping experiences and lessons learned throughout his career. He recounts a harrowing incident where he was shot 14 times while on duty and the subsequent resilience he built during his recovery. The discussion delves into the importance of mental preparation, visualizing potential outcomes, and maintaining communication with loved ones, especially when facing high-risk situations. Derrick explains the demanding nature of his role within the Star Group, which involved high-risk arrests, hostage situations, counterterrorism, and close protection for VIPs, including the Queen. He reflects on how his early experiences, including a near-death encounter where his partner was nearly shot, shaped his approach to policing and life. Derrick emphasizes the significance of contingency planning and taking responsibility for one's choices, actions, and their consequences. The conversation also explores the concept of human durability, which Derrick now teaches through his Center of Human Durability. He discusses how mental and emotional resilience can be cultivated by preparing for adversity, controlling panic, and maintaining a problem-solving mindset during crises. Derrick also touches on the broader societal issue of avoiding responsibility, attributing it to the comfort and safety of first-world living, which often leads to complacency and a lack of accountability. Derrick's message focuses on going beyond mere resilience to achieve sustainable, optimal performance in the face of adversity. He encourages taking full responsibility for one's life, making conscious decisions, and considering the broader impact of choices on both personal and communal levels. This approach underscores the importance of mental toughness, proactive planning, and the ability to navigate life's challenges with a clear, focused mindset. Derrick's insights provide valuable lessons for anyone looking to improve their resilience and overall approach to personal and professional challenges.

When someone asks you how you are, do you tell them? Do they even want to know?  Probably not.   It's just one part of life's game of expectations and we keep playing along.  Our worth is often derived by the people and stuff around us. And we think that we are worthless if we don't offer other people value.  But what would happen if we chose to let go of playing by the expectations set by someone (or something) else and stopped measuring our value by their perception of what we can offer them?  It's more than one person's opinion. It's systemic and built into the fabric of society. Our self-worth is linked to our value. And when we tie our value to money, possessions, careers, relationships etc. That becomes our compass for success and decision making. Even as kids, we were taught, and then teach our own, that we need to make choices that will get us a good career and income and set us up for the future. And we learn, and continue, the pattern of making decisions to please others while ignoring our emotions and needs.  But we can break that pattern. We can make choices in accordance with our own values.  In this episode of Reframe of Mind, Louise and Andy share their personal experiences with letting go of other people's expectations and learning to make decisions in accordance with their own personal values; and discuss the concept of reframing our thoughts to better support our self-worth.   They also look at the ‘human durability' model with more from Derrick McManus, founder of the Australian Centre for Human Durability, speak to motivational speaker Chris Helder, about his ‘Useful Belief' philosophy, and how he was able to apply the technique to reframing his own loss of gigs at the start of the pandemic; and to mindfulness coach and ‘Still Effect' author Annie Harvey to get her practical tips on how to reframe our thoughts around situations that are out of our practical control. Episode Transcript available at ReframeOfMind.com.auFollow and talk to @reframeofmind onInstagram | Facebook | Pinterest | TiktokOr follow @welcomechangemedia on LinkedInLet's keep the conversation going.

Derrick McManus was a member of the Australian Special forces and tells his story of being on deaths door, and in those moments, using what he now calls the Human Durability Model ™. Derrick now teaches the methods that saved his life to others.  "After being shot 14 times with a high-powered rifle and lying on the ground for three hours before rescue, the thoughts that went through my mind were completely different than what you might think. I developed the Human Durability Model ™ as a tool to help guide individuals and organizations to move beyond resilience in order to proactively create outcomes by design." Discussion Topics

“He was still standing in direct line of fire when he was risking his life to save mine. Bullets are whizzing around us, but he stabilised me in 10 minutes in the brick line of fire. And in the analysis afterwards, he says he doesn't know how my heart didn't stop. All the textbooks say it should have stopped. The only reason he believed that it didn't stop, was because I had never read those textbooks.” TIME STAMP SUMMARY01:43 Getting shot 14 times04:49 Human durability15:29 The 5-phase model on human durability19:01 Avoiding burnout Where to find Derrick McManus?LinkedIn                              https://www.linkedin.com/in/derrickmcmanus Website                              https://www.derrickmcmanus.com/  Who is Derrick McManus?Derrick McManus was a South Australian Police officer operating in the elite Special Tasks And Rescue (STAR) Group.  He held specialist skills as a sniper, diver and was trained by the military elite Special Air Services Regiment (SAS) in counter-terrorist tactics. This is a physically, mentally and emotionally demanding environment.  It is an extreme, potentially overwhelming, VUCA environment in every way. Derrick's team had been tasked to arrest a high-risk offender.  He was obviously not very keen on being arrested. He fired 18 times in less than 5 seconds and hit Derrick 14 times. Derrick was then lying on the ground bleeding for 3 hours prior to his rescue. It was also anticipated that Derrick would suffer massive post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and be in psychological therapy for decades after such a massive traumatic event. Three months after the shooting, Derrick had a single appointment with the Director of the Adelaide Centre for Traumatic Stress Studies – an international expert in traumatic stress.  Derrick defied all odds and amazed everyone when he was immediately psychologically cleared to go back to full duties with the elite STAR Group (obviously his physical injuries took much longer). Derrick had proactively prepared himself physically, mentally, AND emotionally for the challenges he could expect as a result of the choices he had made.  He took responsibility for his actions and for all possible consequences. This format has been developed into the model for Human Durability and forms the basis of the philosophies within the Australian Centre for Human Durability. Derrick has been a speaker and trainer on the international speaking circuit for the past 20 years.  He's presented to audiences of 7 people to 4000 people, 5-year-old students to staff/team leaders to executives/CEO's through to retirees. Derrick provides the insights and the tools to go beyond resilience to durability and create sustained optimum performance. He will show you how to create greater success for your people, leaders, and the organization. 

We've all used the "someone's always got it worse off" bandaid of toxic positivity when something bad happens, and the buzz of recent times is around being resilient, but what if that paper cut was the last in a long chain of bad experiences that completely emptied our emotional bucket?Derrick McManus had a really bad day at work once. He was shot 14 times in 5 seconds and almost died. His recovery and re-entry to the same team is only a part of Derrick's story, which is one of durability and action well past the platitudes of "she'll be right".In this episode, Derrick shares his story and experiences to shift our perspective on the value of resilience.Episode Transcript available at ReframeOfMind.com.auLeave us your rating and let us know about your "imposter moments" by following @reframeofmind onInstagram | Facebook | Pinterest | TiktokOr follow @welcomechangemedia on LinkedInLet's keep the conversation going.

We all experience setbacks in life and having the resilience to bounce back is essential.  However, it is possible to go beyond resilience and sustain optimum performance. The answer?

Youtube Version: https://youtu.be/mZXA4_xKcn0 www.derrickmcmanus.com Derrick McManus is a former Sniper, Special Ops Diver and Counter-Terrorist Operative with the elite Special Tasks And Rescue (STAR) Group of the South Australian Police. He was a peak performer in a very demanding role. During a high-risk arrest in 1994, He was shot 14 times in less than 5 seconds with a high-powered rifle left lying on the ground, bleeding to death, for 3 hours before Derrick was rescued. He was well aware of what happens to the body as it is drained of blood. McManus lost so much blood that he could monitor his organs closing down. The blood supply got so low that even his vision closed down and all he saw was a pristine white light.

Derrick was a Sniper, Special Ops Diver and Counter-Terrorist Operative with the elite Special Tasks And Rescue (STAR) Group of the South Australian Police. Performing at peak in a demanding role. During a high-risk arrest in 1994, Derrick was shot 14 times in less than 5 seconds with a high-powered rifle and left lying on the ground, bleeding to death, for 3 hours before being rescued. The first doctor to get to Derrick later stated to media, “He'd almost lost all his blood, I still don't know how he actually survived." Apparently Derrick (fortunately) didn't read the text book on mortality... it's a miracle he survived. There's nothing like bantering with the closest thing to immortal that you can get, hey! I love burrowing into the psyche of someone like Derrick as we explore how these elite humans process life as they step into dangerous and life threatening situations all in a days work. Listen up in this ep to get a little insight on 'human durability' and perhaps how we can develop a bit of this stuff ourselves for our everyday lives. Enjoy!

Emotions can seem detrimental on our path to professional success, especially when decisions are driven by irrational responses. However there is a place for emotion in our professional lives and according to my guest this week, understanding this, helps improve human durability - or what is often referred to, as resilience. Derrick McManus is a survivor, to say the least, and he has incredible stories to tell. Derrick was in the South Australian Police Force for over 40 years, where he became a member of the Special Task And Rescue Group.  During his time in the STAR Group, he learned how to sustain optimum performance under pressure which was put to the ultimate test, when he was shot 14 times with a high-powered rifle. In today's episode of Be The Drop, Derrick describes his rich history with risk and consequence, using examples from his life to explain human durability, he reveals how this concept is key in both business and personal success, and we also discuss how sharing stories can inspire and empower other people. --- Want more?
