Eric took those snooze-fest classes we all have been to, heard of, and suffered through, and he made it pertinent, relatable, and engaging. As a cop that doesn’t have a history in the fire service- he knew enough about us to call our BS out. He didn’t walk in and bark orders about right and wrong, but instead just asked us to look from a different perspective and the difference that made on my outlook on the job… career saving.
“..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.

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.

We had the distinct pleasure to have Eric and Brian present Career Survival Training to our King County Fire Chiefs Leadership Summit in September. I had seen the presentation, previously, at FRI and was impressed with the interaction between Eric and Brian and how professional they are in delivering some very insightful content. I was very impressed, and pleasantly surprised, that the second time I saw, essentially the same presentation, I was able to get even more out of what they had to say. I can’t say that for any other presentation I’ve seen.
I wholeheartedly endorse the Career Survival Group.
