Center for Aggression Management
John D. 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
other methods being used to deal with conflict and violence were not working.
In 1993, Mr. Byrnes formed the Center for Aggression Management to train organization and individuals to use aggression management techniques
to recognize aggressive behavior and to prvent violene by managing aggressive behavior. This training has demonstrated to individuals and
employers that they can prevent aggression rather than merely react to it and, thereby, reduce the risk of aggression related violence, reduce risk
management costs, and improve productivity.
Mr. 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 expressed his views at the conference: "These are vigilant times. Aggression is on
the hearts and minds of most all in North American. Whether in Afghanistan or in workplaces or our schools, aggression is something that we must
get our arms around and vanquish. All North Americans, young and old alike, should have the right to feel safe when they go to work or to school."
Mr. Byrnes has been interview on workplace violence by most major news outlets and has presented at over 100 conferences dealing with
workplace, campus, church or school violence.
John Byrnes created the Center for Aggression Management®
in 1993 to provide organizations with much-needed Aggression
Management® skills.
Since that time, he has served as the CEO and lead Instructor
as the Center for Aggression Management has provided training
to individuals from approximately 500 organizations thoughout
the US.
