Book your Event
Book your event on a variety of subjects with lessons learned from the Inside the Well book that apply to a number of your team’s needs.
Themes abound in the book Inside the Well. While the book largely deals with the issues surrounding the rescue of Jessica McClure from an abandoned water well in a residential neighborhood in October 1987, the themes of perseverance and teamwork through challenges and conflict resonate with organizations. Through the narrative, we weave accounts from rescuers and volunteers, with vivid descriptions of challenge and triumph, to help teams manage efficiently, snuff out burnout, and identify the critical areas of service to clients and customers, organizations, and themselves.
Themes include:
- Pushing through burnout takes more than grit.
- Empowering your workforce with tools.
- Identifying the passion and purpose of career.
Examine the timeline of the “Baby Jessica” McClure rescue and the stories of volunteers and professional first responders who worked diligently through unforeseen challenges to do the impossible. Go further to examine how leaders with insight and interest can engage their teams to work through challenging issues, improve communications, and enhance efficiencies to boost overall employee satisfaction.
