Deep Background –
JJ Brun, Operative 431
You may already know me as JJ, The Retired Spy. However, within the Canadian Armed Forces Intelligence Branch, I was better known as Sgt Jean J. Brun – Operative 431.
The Intelligence Branch motto (E Tenebris Lux), roughly translated from Latin, is “from darkness into light,” meaning everything starts from a place of darkness, but through careful analysis and validation of information, we can create understanding.
Throughout my career, I spent significant time working in the shadows, carefully evaluating information to provide intelligence to my superiors. Ultimately, this led to better decision-making and, often, the prevention of crises.
This was particularly true during my deployment to Bosnia Herzegovina as a Contact Handler. When I was there, I cultivated sources in a hostile environment, determined their intentions, and modified their behavior as necessary.
Every day was a delicate balance. Everything relied on patience and persistence. Losing my cool wasn’t an option. Giving up and running away from the problem was out of the question.
Fast-forward 27 years, I am now known as the premier “DISC Trainer of Trainers.” I still use many techniques I learned as an operative to transform work environments into thriving places of inclusion, trust, and respect.
The same motto, “from darkness into light,” still applies, as only by learning about each other’s intentions can we maximize growth potential and live in a healthy work environment.
