This follow-up workshop builds on the keynote Stronger Every Shift and is designed exclusively for company officers. In this session, the spotlight shifts from personal wellness to the officer’s role in leading resilient, high-performing crews. Rather than a lecture, this workshop creates a space for officers to engage in candid discussion about the unique pressures of their role—balancing accountability with support, managing crew stress after critical incidents, and sustaining team readiness through long shifts and high call volumes.

Through interactive small-group exercises, scenario challenges, and officer-to-officer dialogue, participants will:

• Identify real-world leadership challenges they face at the company level.

• Share and compare strategies for addressing stress, burnout, and morale within their crews.

• Work through practical scenarios that test their ability to lead under pressure.

• Build a personal action plan they can take back to their station to reinforce wellness, trust, and resilience.

Officers will leave this workshop not only with an expanded “mental wellness playbook” but also with peer-tested ideas and actionable leadership tools tailored to the realities of company-level command.
