This course is all about bringing passion back to our firehouses and its importance to morale and teamwork. It is designed for firefighters of all ranks and experience levels with a focus on the role of the Company Officer. The course is built around the core values of passion, dedication, and accountability. Building a Tradition of Passion is derived from my personal love for the job as well as my experience, professional interactions, social media interactions, and research. Topics discussed include cultivating enthusiasm, the calling of the fire service, traditional roles and responsibilities, channeling emotion, setting expectations, leadership, followership, accountability, humility, polarization, realistic goals, training considerations, and strategies for improving morale. The goal of the course is to make passionate firefighters the norm rather than the exception. Students will leave this class inspired to start building their own tradition today!
