It is Troy’s belief that prison does not necessarily mean steel bars and razor wire. That we all have “prisons within ourselves,” prisons that are just as confining as the one that held him for 7.5 years. Prisoners to fears, addictions, depression, overeating, overworking, bad relationships-the list could go on and on. What does this have to do with management? Only when we ourselves, as well as those we bring into our companies, are “whole” personally can we all become better professionally. His program encourages managers and employees to be proactive in their work, not reactive. Reactive people let the environment dictate what they do and, in a sense, protect them. He shows business professionals how they can become better people, and what is truly important in their lives. Only then can they become the most they can be on the job. He also touches on diversity in the workforce-relating the importance of employing ex-convicts.
