About this listen

In this crucial and candid episode, Kevin sits down with Lisa and Robbie, Co-Founders of the EMS Leadership Academy, to discuss a rarely addressed topic: the emotional cost of leadership in emergency medical services. Robbie, a career paramedic and Assistant Chief, and Lisa, a 25-year business and life coach, combine frontline reality with psychological expertise.

They offer a raw perspective on why the leader's chair is often the most emotionally taxing job in the field. We explore:

  • The Unspoken Pressure: Why leaders feel compelled to be "unbreakable" and how that silence internally fuels stress and burnout.
  • The Ripple Effect: How a leader's unresolved anxiety or fatigue directly impacts the psychological safety and performance of every person under their command.
  • The Blueprint for Resilience: Actionable strategies leaders can use to prioritize their own mental health, model healthy coping, and actively build a culture of unwavering support for their teams.

This is a vital conversation for every supervisor, manager, and aspiring leader seeking to sustain their well-being while fulfilling their profound responsibilities. Your service deserves unwavering support.
