2019 Virginia Fire + Rescue Conference

Fire Service Mortar: The Critical Role of the Company Officer (Room 1A)

21 Feb 19
8:00 AM - 12:00 PM

Tracks: Company Officer

This course is designed to provide the tools needed to lead from the front as a Company Officer. It is designed for current Company Officers as well as those who may assume the role in the future, but will ultimately benefit anyone who wants to make positive change at the company level. The Company Officer truly is the mortar in any fire department. They can keep their department running efficient with their example, attitude, and passion. In this program, I will bring military leadership experience as well as experience in my current role to explain the importance of values driven leadership. Key concepts will be preparation, credibility, training, team building, conflict resolution, and more. This course will reinforce that there is no room in our fire service for negligent officers at the company level. Fire Service Mortar is meant to inspire action and produce results in your company, your station, and your department. I will give you the realistic tools, not theory, to make immediate change in your firehouse!
