We cover a lot of ground from leadership and wellness to prevention of suicide and this all comes from a man who had literally been on the front line as policeman and as a leader in the Police force. We also discuss important topics such as remote leadership, adaptive leadership and inclusiveness.
I really enjoyed this podcast and Douglas is inspirational and compells us to take action for ourselves and those around us. You can find out more about Douglas on LinkedIn at https://www.linkedin.com/in/douglas-p-pflug-2b39a723/ and on X @ironwill360
