Fire Coaching Fridays is a hour-long discussion in a casual, information sharing platform that engages questions and answers with industry leaders and influencers on a Friday afternoon.
When is the last time you struggled with an issue at work and wished you had someone on the outside "just to get some additional advice or perspective." That's what Fire Coaching Friday is all about. Building relationships outside of your day-to-day circle.
Topics will be selected in advance and first responders can send in their questions. Fire Coaching Fridays will be held every Friday during FireShowsWest's Virtual Conference.
