Steve Albrecht has known Dr. Mary Beth Janke as a friend and colleague for over 20 years.
As a dynamic speaker, writer, college professor, clinical and forensic psychologist, and coach, Dr. Mary Beth has long supported the efforts of women to achieve personal and professional success. She is the author of The Protector: A Woman’s Journey from the Secret Service to Protecting VIPs in the World’s Most Dangerous Places and her 2022 TedX talk, “How to Be a Badass at Any Age” has been widely viewed.
As she puts it:
“I always say: 'Tell me I can’t, I shouldn’t, or I’ll never, and I will rise up and show you that I can, I should, and I will always overcome.' Helping women overcome the fear of not being 'good' enough and not having what it takes to achieve their full potential in their careers and in life is a big part of the work I do today. As one of a small minority of women to become a Special Agent in the United States Secret Service and, then, as the only woman to ever officially protect a foreign president outside of the U.S., I know what it is to succeed in a world that was never designed for me to make it. I know what it’s like to feel like the world is against you… like all eyes are on you, just waiting for you to screw up. You see, women who are high-functioning, powerful, and full of potential often feel very alone. This emotional isolation means they spend a lot of time in their heads, worrying, thinking, and over-analyzing their decisions, their choices, and their lives. They have a burning desire to achieve; yet, they often lack a reliable or trustworthy source of support to help reach their goals. It’s my mission to become that source of support. So, if you are looking for answers, guidance, or a roadmap for achieving your life and career goals, you’re in the right place.”
Since 2000, Dr. Steve Albrecht has trained thousands of library employees in 28+ states, live and online, in service, safety, and security. His programs are fast, entertaining, and provide tools that can be put to use immediately in the library workspace with all types of patrons.
In 2015, the ALA published his book, Library Security: Better Communication, Safer Facilities. His new book, The Safe Library: Keeping Users, Staff, and Collections Secure, was just published by Rowman & Littlefield.
Steve holds a doctoral degree in Business Administration (D.B.A.), an M.A. in Security Management, a B.A. in English, and a B.S. in Psychology. He is board-certified in HR, security management, employee coaching, and threat assessment.
He has written 25 books on business, security, and leadership topics. He lives in Springfield, Missouri, with six dogs and two cats.
