Assistant Chief Pearland Fire Department Katy, Texas, United States
In today’s job it’s common for fighters to gain the knowledge, skills, and abilities needed to successfully navigate an emergency incident through repetitive acts on the fire ground. Beyond the fireground there is a thirst for knowledge that has everyone traveling the nation in the pursuit of innovative training opportunities. While training has evolved to cross multiple medias there has been little to no growth for training opportunities that will help us succeed with the other 60% of the challenges we face. That is why I want to focus on Mentoring. The most underrated aspect of the job today. In this class we will take lessons learned from personal failures and how to use them when it comes to being a mentor. Far too often it’s becoming a common occurrence to open your email and discover a resignation letter in your inbox. You might find yourself asking, where did we go wrong? That was me not too long ago. Mentoring drives my soul but seeing others succeed defines my mission. Join me
Learning Objectives:
If you are doing your job as a mentor and becoming that 1 person for someone to lean on, then I hope to confirm that for you
If you notice, there is a need for improvement within yourself I hope to provide you real life examples of how to conquer self-realization and improvement with a few tips to find a path of success. Mentoring is not for everyone, but I do believe that everyone should have the opportunity to have a love affair with the job.
