Hello everyone — I’m Tim. I wasn't sure where to drop my introduction, so I hope this thread is ok My professional background is in crisis leadership, emergency management, and responder wellness. Over the course of my career, I’ve had the privilege of working closely with public safety agencies and government leadership during complex incidents and disasters. I previously served as Chief of Staff to a State Fire Marshal and later as a Special Assistant to a State Transportation Secretary, roles that gave me a unique view of how leadership, policy, and operational response intersect during high-pressure events. Alongside that work, I’m also a conference speaker and trainer, and I’m a certified speaker, facilitator, and coach with Maxwell Leadership. Much of my speaking and training focuses on leadership under pressure, responder mental health, peer support, and building resilient teams. I also founded the Supportive Healing Initiative for Emergency, Line, and Disaster responders (SHIELD), a peer-support and recovery framework designed specifically for those who serve in high-stress professions. I’m always interested in learning from others who work in leadership, coaching, mental health, and crisis response spaces. Looking forward to the conversations here and connecting with many of you.
