carlton
Carlton Bradshaw, STRIVE DC's Program Manager and Lead Trainer, conducts the actual three-week intensive attitudinal job-readiness training workshop. He imparts proper employee-conduct to participants in a manner that is often confrontational through his own tough-love style. A veteran of the Army and of homeless shelters, Mr. Bradshaw operates in a way that draws upon both his military drilling experience and his street-smart past.Mr. Bradshaw began in the military, touring Germany and reaching the rank of Sergeant as Squad Leader. For almost a decade he marketed insurance, and then he damaged his
back loading packages for the United States Postal Service. Forced to live on the streets for a period, he eventually arrived at STRIVE DC and was hired as a Trainer after completing his instruction at STRIVE New York.

Balancing the relative brevity of the three-week program with intensity, Bradshaw has left lasting impressions with participants through his style of bringing out and then dissipating participants' anger. He recognizes underlying issues in participants with passion and does his best to resolve them. In the workshop he critiques dress, attitude, resumes, handshakes, eye-contact, punctuality, and bearing, among other subjects. Perhaps most important of all, however, he offers his own life lessons and experiences as an example.
