CONNECT WITH JESSI ON LINKEDIN >>> HERE!Welcome to At Work, Under Pressure — the podcast about what happens when real life shows up at work.In this trailer episode, host Jessi Beyer introduces the story behind the show, the mission behind The Crisis Readiness Group, and why workplace suicide prevention, de-escalation, and crisis readiness cannot stay locked behind clinical degrees and professional licenses.Jessi is a SWAT negotiator, licensed mental health professional, and suicide prevention trainer whose work started long before the credentials. As a teenager, she found herself trying to support someone she loved through suicidal ideation with no training, no roadmap, and no idea what she was supposed to do. That experience became the thread that eventually led her into psychology, crisis response, field-based mental health work, SWAT negotiation, and now suicide prevention education for high-impact organizations.In this episode, Jessi shares:The personal story that pulled her into suicide prevention workWhy one social worker’s small act of humanity changed the trajectory of her lifeWhat field crisis response taught her about connection, dignity, and saving livesHow SWAT negotiation shaped her approach to communication under pressureWhy so much suicide prevention training fails to create real-world skillWhy leaders, HR professionals, safety teams, and coworkers need practical crisis skills before someone is in dangerWhat this podcast will explore in future conversations with executives, HR leaders, safety professionals, and workplace wellness expertsThis show is for leaders who understand that people problems become operational problems — and profit problems — when organizations are not prepared.If you lead people, support people, manage risk, shape culture, or simply want to be better prepared for the human moments that happen at work, this podcast is for you.CONNECT WITH JESSILinkedInCrisis Readiness GroupTEDx Talk: How To Think Outside Your Own Box
