Delivered in a very honest way
Type of Service: Other

It was good information. It was delivered in a very honest way which was good. With over 30 years in the fire service this is a must for the new generation.As a veteran the material reinforces good leadership and accountability. There have been many good changes to the culture of fire service during my career. I have some professional regrets that I saw chief officers condone the bad behavior and not put a stop to it. Now I am in a position to call those individuals on it when it happens. Fortunately those occurrences are less today. It also stupid and a liability to not admit recent mistakes. This just further erodes the public trust. The company officer is truly the parent or grown up that makes and aligns the line personnel with the mission of the department. At all levels we need to recognize what we do right, wrong and could do better. I would like to leave the fire service better than I found it. But it is a dynamic environment that needs leadership at all levels to be a success. It’s a work in progress. Take the unions opion as one of many perspectives. The line will get positive learning tools out of your class. Thank you
Maybe the fire service should be like elementary school and have you put away your phone in your locker since people can’t appropriately use them?

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.
