Intoxicated Leadership takes the distinctive approach of helping students understand the role our emotions play in either aiding or undermining leadership efforts both in emergencies and back at the station. Our flagship program reviews how our body processes and primes us to respond to conflict–including a review of emotional intelligence, common communication mistakes, conflict management, and executive functioning. Using this information, we can become more effective at answering the leadership challenges awaiting us.

1. Understand the Acute Stress Response Effects That Arise During Conflict (Tunnel Vision, Auditory Exclusion, Learning & Skill Acquisition, Working Memory)
2. Learn Techniques for Reclaiming Strategy When Under Pressure (Emotional Intelligence)
3. Identify Strategies and Tactics for Providing Feedback & Inviting it from others (Exerting Influence vs. Control, Communication Missteps)
