Description

The Morning Session Jump Seat Leadership Seminar Speaker: Lt. Josh Chase – Norfolk Fire Rescue Leaders wanted; Bugle not Required: We cannot continue to let the fire service suffer due to lack of leadership. This seminar focuses on training and educating personnel in the fire service to lead at the informal level. We cover basic principles of leadership and focus primarily on individuals who do not hold a leadership position, rather we equip and prepare the men and women in the fire service to lead in whatever position they hold. From the apparatus bay floor to the office door, this seminar is changing the fire service through strengthening informal leadership. This seminar is meant to strengthen, encourage, and empower firefighters to lead without rank. Leaders in the fire service are wanted, and a bugle is not required! Informal leaders are the backbone of the fire service. The Afternoon Session Trial by Fire Seminar Speaker: Capt. Jarrod Sergi – Norfolk Fire Rescue Fire Service Mortar: The critical role of the company officer: This class provides the tools and knowledge to lead from the front as a company officer, all while building an effective group of performers. It targets newly promoted company officers as well as those who may assume the role in the near future but will ultimately benefit anyone who has the desire to make change and drive ownership into the company level. Company officers truly are the mortar in any fire department. They have the ability to keep their department running strong and efficient with their example, attitude, and passion. This class emphasizes the importance of unit cohesion and how it can have a lasting impact.
