The cumulative weight of these responsibilities can affect a leader’s well-being, decision-making, relationships, and ability to lead effectively. This course examines the stressors unique to 9-1-1 leadership and provides evidence-based resilience and coherence strategies designed for the realities of leading an ECC.

Leadership Development
Leading from the Inside Out
Practicing & Modeling Systematic Self-Care
A public-safety agency’s ability to operate through hardship is driven by the shared mental, emotional, physical and spiritual resilience of its employees. But when most people speak of "self-care", they mean eat, sleep, and exercise for "life-balance". That in itself is a challenge for first-responders. They face epidemic levels of PTSD, depression, and obesity, so they need far more than a casual approach to self-care practiced by regular humans. This leadership workshop focuses on the inside of the leader. It's a rare opportunity empowering leaders to invest in themselves for the sake of all. Leaders will leave with greater self-attunement, vision for personal development, and their own Self-Care Plan.
