Situational awareness goes beyond what you see on the fireground—it's about understanding conditions and predicting what comes next.
Filmed in the FDIC Podcast Studio at #FDIC2026, this clip from The Fireground Blueprint explores the balance between proactive prediction and reactive decision-making.

It happened again at @FDICevent .
After my 4-hour session on Dealing with Difficult People, someone always approaches me and says, "It is me." I immediately understand what they mean, shake their hand, and remind them that recognizing the issue is the first step toward improvement.
As we navigate the journey of leadership, we often inherit traits and negative characteristics from those who led us, believing they are effective. Over time, we realize they are not. We adjust our methods to discover the best way to become effective leaders. Welcome to leadership!
For those who have the courage to seek a better leadership style, you have my respect. Managing people is a journey that requires constant adjustments to our approach and presentation for personal growth.
You can learn more in my new book, published by @FireBooks , available now. Please message me if you want to explore how I can assist your team of managers, leaders, and supervisors in addressing the challenges within your organization.
