07. #07 Your Stress Is Affecting Those Around You

This week’s Firefighter Craftsmanship podcast is an honest conversation directed at you supervisors specifically (but we think there’s lots of value for all ranks!) We wrap up our series addressing the recent Fire Rescue1 survey in this episode and talk about How Your Stress is Affecting Those Around You. Check it out here!

In this episode we cover:

• The data points around supervisor stress and yes it is affecting your people
• We’re falling down as organizations in providing tools and resources to make our folks be ready and able to deal with stress
• How to build positive cultures around stress and failure
• Actionable tools to use in 2024 to change the stress narrative for yourself first
