We are so proud of our provider, Linda!
Let’s talk about pressure… because if there’s anyone in this room who understands what it does to us, it’s dispatchers.
Our next speaker, Linda, is diving into what happens when our nervous system is pushed to its limits — when the calls stack, the tones drop, and our brains shift into survival mode.
She’s going to walk us through how stress impacts the way we think, communicate, and respond — from tunnel vision and shortened patience… to the way our words can become more reactive than intentional.
But more importantly — she’s here to show us there’s another way.
A way to move from reacting… to responding.
From narrow, high-stress communication… to clarity, awareness, and connection.
Because in this job, we don’t just need to be fast — we need to be effective, grounded, and human.
So get ready to lean in, reflect a little, and maybe even recognize yourself in some of this.
