The Man n the Arena: Motivational
“RED Friday is a leader in peer support and leadership communication training in the first responder community. Their decades of experience, engaging online and in person presentations, along with their best practice approach to workplace wellness, are invaluable. CEUs are available for some of (sic) their courses, an essential element for me.”.
