“..the best class i have ever attended…”
Type of Service: Career Survival Training
Rank of Commenter: Chief Officer
After 33 years of fire service work, and training, I can say this is the best class I have ever attended regarding an administrative function of my job. The content was delivered with poignant seriousness regarding the risks, and interjected with plenty of “civil service” humor to keep it fun. The instructors get what firefighters are all about, and how good people can make poor choices and end up in a lot of trouble. It would be great if this could be delivered to all academy classes, officer development programs, and chief officer professional development programs.
I don’t want to be a “spoiler” so I wont share the details, but the final testimony was incredibly powerful.

Wonderful Class
Type of Service: Career Survival Training
Rank of Commenter: Captain
What an exceptional class! Career Survival Training goes above and beyond what is delivered in a typical fire service class. This class fixes many of the things wrong with the usual – and often just plain awful – “scared straight” approach to reducing risks related to behavior in the firehouse. With a mix of humor and heart, Eric ultimately crafts a story of why kindness, fairness, grace, and compassion serves all of us. I’m not leaving his class motivated by fear of consequences, but by an honest and earnest desire to protect and care for the people I work with. One of the top three fire service classes I have taken in my 15+ years.

The presentation was very informative. Some of the things that were discussed were a little shocking, but I guess it happens. I feel it would be beneficial for all members to view.

Message Landed With Our Group
Type of Service: Career Survival Training
Rank of Commenter: Captain
I am very interested in making the fire service a place where new hires, that are not of the old-school firefighter’s mold, can thrive. In the past when we have had training about how to be a supportive work environment and it has gone poorly. I believe your message landed well with our group. Your message will help me be better. You clearly know us and we know and trust you as well. I feel hope that we can build an environment that I will be proud of. I am thankful that you came to visit us.

Passion For The Topic Was Obvious

Eric and Brian,
Just a note to let you know how much I appreciated your Career Survival class message when you were in Fargo, ND this week. I thought your format of an Operational problem next to an Administrative problem provided good context for those in class to understand the issues. I also felt the issues you brought up were current and pertinent.
Your presentation was important, informative, and entertaining enough to hold everyone’s attention. You had great examples and stories that aligned with the message and your passion for the topic was obvious.
Thanks for coming to Fargo and I hope to sit in again sometime.
