Those Who Teach, Lead!Tim Sendelbach, Keynote Speaker, Training and Educational Services
Change in the fire service continues to be one of the most monumental tasks facing the next generation of leaders. The initiation and implementation of change is seldom if ever welcomed with open arms. The ingredient for success lies in putting the right people in training; vision oriented leaders who exemplify the willingness to share their knowledge, skills, and abilities while supporting a freedom based approach inclusive of organizational values, individual empowerment and progressive change. This high-energy, high impact program will provide attendees with a step by- step action plan on how to build an organization receptive to change with specific emphasis on leadership, professional development/training, and core values related to safety and organizational progression.
