Description:

The CALM in CHAOS Workshop is expertly designed to equip participants with a comprehensive toolkit of skills to effectively navigate stressful situations. Participants will engage in immersive practical simulations, including high-fidelity simulation and role-playing exercises, to prepare for real-world exposure to challenging environments. Following these hands-on experiences, we incorporate a “START” check-in and decompression process to reflect on learning outcomes and support emotional well-being.

This workshop emphasizes the essential skills required for responders operating in high-pressure situations, ensuring they are well-prepared to lead teams across various challenges. Our focus is on transforming the experience from merely surviving to truly thriving, fostering resilience and confidence in leadership under duress. Participants will leave feeling empowered and equipped to handle any situation with composure and effectiveness through the application of the CALM leadership approach.

At the end of this session, participants will be able to:

1. Identify personal leadership style and utilize strategies to adapt in different environments. 2. Lead teams with greater focus and confidence while applying a CALM leadership approach.
2. Utilize strategies to navigate interpersonal conflict.
3. Lead a START check in decompression (debrief).
