Here’s what you can expect so far!:

Hilary Bilbrey, Leadership and Wellness Consultant, will be our morning Keynote Speaker.  Her presentation “Nothing grows in concrete: Breaking out of fixed mindsets” is sure to motivate!  Hilary will also be one of our breakout presenters offering “Coaching Up: How to inspire growth in those around you.”

Jeff Thomas, Psy, D., Ottawa University, is our closing keynote discussing “Vicarious traumtization and self care.”  Many of us are not in the field, but we still suffer from frustration, sadness and guilt when many of these traumatic calls go out.  Jeff’s session will cover how we can identify these common emotional points and how to address them.

Klaudia Jurewicz, GroovyTakeOn: Get Ready, will present “Unleashing the power of your phone for social media.”  We’ll be posting apps for you to pre-download to your smart phone so you can actively participate in this super power session that will give you the skills to up your social media game.  Download these apps for this session: Cute Cut Pro (Android, iOS), FilmoraGo (Android, iOS), Apple Clip (iOS).

Stacy Figueroa and Kevin Figueroa, characters extraordinaire from Pine-Strawberry Fire District, will offer a breakout session on “How and Why to consider adding characterization to your Pub Ed toolbox.” They’ll review how it can engage line firefighters in CRR education, boost your personal energy and offer alternative message delivery to excite your audiences.

Lunch will be provided.  Sign up for this great networking and learning event!
