Leadership Development and Personal Growth

This is the second half of a two-part episode with Sebastien Lavoie. Please check out the first episode if you haven't listened already. In that episode, we discussed Seb’s early career, his time on the Emergency Response Team and how that shaped his perspective as he grew into a leadership role as an operator, his work in designing his unit’s combatives program, and his perspective as a member of the selection cadre for the Emergency Response Team. 

In this episode, we’ll discuss Seb’s training advice for people going into challenging selection courses and his work at Raven Strategic, where he teaches leadership and mindset principles.
