Overview
This 6 hour interactive and entertaining workshop will bring science to life. The latest research on resilience building is interwoven through storytelling and real life experience of a first responder family. Lacy Wolff has dedicated her life to improving health and quality of life of those who serve. This course is a culmination of 15 years of education, experience, knowledge, struggle and growth.
We will focus on four specific areas:
- 1 Degree of Difference: The Science of Habits- Based off the work of James Clear & BJ Fogg we will learn what is driving our behavior, our habits, and how to successfully change them.
- The Stress Response System - a Navy SEAL once said, “we will not rise to the occasion, we will fall to our training” Through a live biofeedback demonstration participants will see the immediate physiological response to mental stress. Participants will leave with a very specific skill to counterbalance the effects of energy depleting emotions.
- Recharge - gives participants strategies to recharge the human battery including “finding the flow state,” “daily gratitude practice,” and “sleep optimization.”
- Family Tactics – Without a strong home life, first responders cannot show up for work prepared for the challenges they may face. First responder families have different challenges and struggles. We will address these and participants will be given resources and skills to improve family communication.
