*Please note: Today's episode has a content warning for mental health and self-harm discussions. We hope this content will inspire you to practice self-compassion and share your story because you are not alone. For resources, please see our episode show notes.   David Hollenbach has walked through the fire. Now, he helps others fan the flames of their own self-compassion and rise from the ashes of their limiting beliefs. David Hollenbach is a retired Fire Department Battalion Chief, an international best-selling author, professional speaker, member of the National Speakers Association, John Maxwell certified speaker and DISC Method Trainer. His most recent book, Fireproof: Your Grand Strategy for Transforming Failure into Fuel for Your Future was released in 2022.  David owns and operates David Hollenbach Consulting, LLC and hosts the popular podcast From Embers to Excellence - with over 170+ episodes featuring inspiring guest speakers. His brand was built on the foundation of helping others, speaking up and creating a legacy of good.  Additionally, David is a Veteran of the United States Navy with a Master's Degree in Public Administration from Barry University. A major focus of research for his capstone was how strong, positive leadership can influence the culture of a large organization. While studying at Barry University he published "The Firefighter's Creed" and “Women in the Fire Service: A Diverse Culture Leads to a Successful Culture,” an article highlighting the importance of gender diversity within the fire service in Fire Engineering Magazine. He has spent years as an instructor, coach and mentor helping others define and realize their personal goals.  There is strength in adversity David Hollenbach had read about trauma and studied philosophy. But during his time in the fire service, he experienced it for the first time - and it nearly broke him.  Like many who work in emotionally difficult careers, David saw horrific things during his time in the fire department. He struggled with Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and even considered taking his own life. In this deeply moving episode of The Business of You, David authentically shares his personal story with us, reminding us that we are not alone.  During the depths of his despair, David reached inside himself and found a spark - committing fully to his own healing, no matter what. He began to do meaningful and consistent work on his emotional and mental health. Now, he encourages other veterans and service members to do the same, paving a path for them to speak up and talk about their experiences. Breaking the code of silence, David reminds us that our value is found not just in what we do, but in who we are… and our intrinsic self-worth.  Uncover your core values As a coach and mentor, David Hollenbach helps leaders create a grand strategy for their lives.  He believes strongly that without direction, we will never arrive where we want to go, or become the person we're meant to be. This begins with discovering your core values.  Through his coaching and speaking services, David helps others create a roadmap for their lives. Despite their failures, regardless of where they are, he teaches others to rediscover their passion for life and reconnect with the best parts of themselves. Forging a better future When David was working on himself, he finally discovered a term that he had been seeking to define for years: Emotional intelligence.  Studying emotional intelligence, he noticed that women consistently  received much higher emotional intelligence scores than men. That explained why the fire service, notoriously lacking women, was an industry with room for improvement in emotional intelligence and communication. But it also explained why women weren't joining the fire service - and certainly weren't being retained.  Even when women become firefighters, they frequently  leave for careers  in which their emotional  intelligence, skills and abilities are more highly valued. Now, David writes and speaks about opportunities for better gender equality in service careers, and what that could mean for improving outcomes.  Quotes “I really try to help veterans and first responders with PTSD. I had my own struggles.” “People who spend their adult life who spend their adult life in fields like combat, law enforcement, EMS, and the fire department - you end up seeing horrible things. If you don't deal with and process that, it can fester and lead to PTSD.” “I went to a really dark place. I hadn't accepted that I was as bad as I was. It wasn't until I almost took my own life, in the moments and days after that experience, that I committed to myself that I would do everything that I could to heal and become the person I knew I could become - someone my daughter could be proud of.” “I felt like - nobody's gonna read this. Who am I to write a book? I came very close to deleting the entire thing. Then I realized that sharing the lessons I learned could help somebody avoid taking their own life.” “Ultimately, I believe that we're all seeking the same thing: Happiness, a sense of fulfillment - and one of the purest forms of fulfillment comes from helping others succeed. If you can, find your purpose helping others succeed by doing the things you're gifted at.” “The fire service is lagging behind even every male-dominated industry in the United States. Paid firefighters - in 2010, the workforce was 3.7% female, and other occupations that were similar had 17% females or higher. Ten years later in the 2020 census, they achieved success in bringing it up to 4.7%. The work needs to be done on the culture so that it's more inclusive.” “While the fire service is hiring more women,  they're not retaining them. Most women may do 6-10 years but ultimately they'll leave for a career where their skills and experience are valued to a higher degree. You can't fault anybody for that!” Links mentioned in this episode: Visit David Hollenbach's website at https://hollenbachleadership.com/  Follow Hollenbach Leadership on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/hollenbachleadership  Connect with David Hollenbach on LinkedIn at https://www.linkedin.com/in/dave-hollenbach-author-speaker/  Find David on Twitter at https://twitter.com/HollenbachLEAD  Listen to the Hollenbach Leadership podcast at https://hollenbachleadership.com/from-embers-to-excellence-podcast  If you or someone you love are considering self-harm or you find yourself struggling with your mental health, you are loved - and you are never alone.

“You're supposed to be the person that shows up and makes things better, and it's pretty hard to make things better if you're struggling yourself.” – Chief DavidFirst responders' coping mechanisms are often instituted over years of service, with each call serving as another brick in the wall they build to divide the life-changing trauma they've witnessed from their ability to work their next shift and operate in the normalcy of life outside the station walls. When there is a culture that prevents open discussions around the job they do and the impact it has, first responders can become further entrenched in behaviors that attempt to deny or conceal mental health issues like PTSD.  Join former paramedic/firefighter and host Phil Klein for the final episode of season four with David, a Navy veteran and retired battalion chief who spent 23 years in the fire service. David shares how following in his father's footsteps led him down his chosen career path, how losing his younger brother called him to serve with greater empathy and understanding, and the work it took to come to terms with his PTSD and seek the help he needed. A best-selling author and professional speaker, he works as a coach and mentor to help others see how their failures can serve as an opportunity to “refine instead of define” them.  To learn more about David's work, purchase his book, Fireproof: Your Grand Strategy for Transforming Failure into Fuel for Your Future, or listen to his podcast, From Embers to Excellence, click here.

Q. What inspired you to write “Fireproof: Your Grand Strategy for Transforming Failure into Fuel for Your Future?”A. The death of my brother inspired me to write the book. My leadership failures, both personal and professional, inspired me to finish it.Q. What do you hope is the biggest takeaway from the book?A. That an individual's core essence determines the kind of leader they will be. Once they discover the truth inside of themselves—flaws and all—readers can challenge their limitations and let go of self-defeating behaviors.

I moved up through the ranks, retiring as a battalion chief responsible for 6 fire stations.  I have effectively led people from all backgrounds in high stress environments. I developed a leadership training program for my fire department and taught leadership for 10 of the 23 years I served. I suffer from PTSD and as part of my healing process I research and study philosophy.In FIREPROOF: Your Grand Strategy for Transforming Failure into Fuel for Your Future, Mr. Hollenbach takes the idea behind Yale University's Grand Strategy Program designed for political leaders and heads of large corporations and applies those principles to the individual.

Guest Dave Hollenbach shares his frontline, servant leader experiences, but not with a plot twist or two along the way. He is the author of FIREPROOF: Your Grand Strategy for ... The post Fireproof: Transforming Failure into Fuel for Your Future appeared first on Leadership Powered by Common Sense.

Dave is a is a retired Fire Department Battalion Chief, author (“Fireproof: Your Grand Strategy for Transforming Failure into Fuel for Your Future”), motivational speaker, and coach/mentor. These days, Dave spends much of his time running his leadership consulting firm and hosting his own podcast (From Embers to Excellence). Given his background I knew we would talk about leadership, but it was really interesting how Dave framed service, adding value to others, and what he calls "selfish altruism" as key tenets of being a leader. There was also an authenticity to how he thought about serving others, seemingly because he has really worked through the process in life to prove it is worth it. As Dave mentions he didn't always think this way. His ego used to be much bigger and he didn't really see much value in being a better leader or helping to raise those around him. But he's done a lot of work, humbled himself, and tried to truly learn what life is all about for him. Through that he realized the path of caring about other people and trying to help them improve, is what brings him the most purpose and joy. Then we did the fun work of asking the deep philosophical questions to try to understand why that is. Why does it actually matter on the grand scale of the universe if we make someone else smile or improve their circumstances? Is it just because it makes us feel good? Because if that is the case, is it fair to say that if it doesn't make somebody feel good to help others than they shouldn't? We asked those and lots of other big, hairy meaning of life questions; and it was fun to get Dave's perspective on them. Big thanks to him for being on and sharing his insights.
