PreAccident Investigation Podcast

How does classical music and emergency operations fit together?  The quick answer is that both of them require, need, embrace an operational manager, an incident commander, a conductor.   This podcast is by one of my favorite people I have ever met giving a speech.  He is smart, funny, clever, creative, and damn good at what he does.  Please meet Bert Brugghemans, Fire Officer in the city of Antwerp, Belgium.   Bert discusses his ideas and learning from a lifetime of working in the emergency response world.  He talks about safety.  He talks about communication.  He talks about reliability.  He talks about safety differently.   You are going to love this podcast.  If not. full money back.Listen carefully to Bert Brugghemans discuss leadership and its importance to our world.  This one is for you!  Thanks for listening, you make the podcast go!

This comes from the CME meeting in Western Australia.  I have never heard a "welcome to country" before at any conference or meeting in the US.  I was not prepared for the power and effect this welcome would have on me and my fellow meeting attendees.  Mr. McGuire is a masterful story teller, welcomer, and speaker.   His background and life has equipped him for this amazing moment.  Listen carefully to the beauty and warmth and ask yourself, "are we welcoming?"
