Behind every headset is a human heart - and it’s time we start leading from it.

In this inspiring and deeply human keynote, Cindy Sparrow, a former first responder and public safety leader turned trauma-informed educator and international leadership strategist, invites you to pause, breathe, and reconnect with yourself. Together, we’ll explore what it really means to be aligned, empowered, and resilient in the middle of the sacred, and often heavy, work of 9-1-1.

You’ll learn how trauma exposure, chronic stress, and living in survival-mode can quietly shape our nervous systems, our teams, and our culture - and how awareness, regulation, and authentic alignment can help us find our way back to joy, purpose, and clarity.
