On Today's Episode we take a deep dive into a critical aspect of resiliency, knowing your why. Understanding why you do what you do is a foundational element that defines your services as a First Responder. When we start out on the job we have a general idea to 'protect and serve' but most of us never really defined our reasons for becoming Heroes. And, as time goes by, and cynicism and job fatigue or burnout assert themselves, we can completely lose touch with our why and that hijacks one of the essential aspects of being human...to know our purpose, to gain meaning from our service and ultimately to leave a legacy. 

Not only will we kick around this important topic, at the end there is an exercise that will help you to discover, or rediscover your why...and my coaching clients and classroom students have told me that this is among the most powerful of the exercises we do to get them back on track and motivated toward their career.
