About the workshop
The leadership strategy required for success in a fire service environment is unique in that operationally experienced professionals must guide the leadership direction. Beyond the required technical knowledge and experience in this setting, true leadership in practice requires the development of key soft skills, emotional intelligence, resilience and influential engagement.
This carefully structured two-day program has been designed to prepare you for the next step in your career. You'll learn to confidently transition into a strategic leadership role and be equipped to adapt to challenging circumstances.
Our expert facilitator, Rick Stone, brings over 20 years experience in emergency services. He will guide participants through how to face the complex challenges of the fire service environment and discuss how to implement strategies to perform in high-pressure situations. How to build team culture, foster resilience and unlock value for your organisation will also be explored.
You will also hear from a senior fire services leader in an exclusive guided conversation. This will allow you to learn from real-life leadership experiences and apply these lessons to a practical action plan for your return to work.
