Kevin Housley joins me today for a conversation full of noteworthy thoughts and takeaways. Kevin is the creator of Firefighter Craftsmanship and is working on his Masters in Sports Psychology. I honestly took more notes during this conversation than I ever have while trying to host at the same time. Among other topics Kevin explains the Self Determination Theory (SDT) and gives insight on how fire service leaders can use it as a guide to keep their people motivated and engaged. Bring a pen and paper and after you finish the episode go the free resource Kevin created for the listeners to help you work through the SDT model with your crew members. Find that resource at https://firefightercraftsmanship.com/crew/Kevin is also the creator of the Emergency Responder Academy website where you can go to get classes or if you're an instructor, you can share your classes there as well.Go check it out at Homepage | Emergency Responder AcademyWebsite - Firefighter CraftsmanshipHome - Firefighter CraftsmanshipFacebook - (20+) Firefighter Craftsmanship | FacebookInstagram - Firefighter Craftsmanship (@ffcraftsmanship) • Instagram photos and videosYouTube - (109) Firefighter Craftsmanship - YouTube

Self-Determination Theory posits that human motivation is driven by three central values: autonomy, competence, and relatedness.If we take SDT and apply it as a framework to facilitation, the parallels become apparent and abundant. Ib Ravn sees the opportunities here with great clarity and, as a result, has a lot of valuable insight to share about how we might use SDT in facilitation.In the context of SDT, we also discussed how facilitation can be used in social spaces and situations — and the challenges we are likely to come up against when we do so.Recording this episode was a delight. Ib is erudite, focused, and curious and our conversation unlocked new perspectives for me about facilitation in general and how I relate to it specifically.
