Don't Let Your Career Get in the Way of Your Calling: Using Case Studies to Help Develop Leadership (Room 3A)

23 Feb 19
10:00 AM - 12:00 PM

Career or a calling? We all know the proper the answer on a promotional exam on how to discipline a firefighter when they screw up. But do you know how to help that firefighter, or only punish? This class looks at moving past discipline, and understanding our calling in life and in the fire service is to help people. Do not let your career get in the way of your calling, and this class takes first-hand account of the instructor with life struggles and what makes the real difference in life. This class will challenge the attendee to perform better, be a better father and mother, and be the coworker and friend we really need to bring the brotherhood and sisterhood back in the fire service.
