CA, USInspire Resilience and Confidence from COVID and other Disasters with one of the World's Leading Disaster Preparedness Experts
Turning Disaster into a Successful Disruption
Disasters are everywhere. The COVID-19 pandemic, coupled with the massive 2020 hurricane season, the California Wildfires, and the hundreds of local emergencies, have challenged the way we work, live, and play down to their very foundations, creating unprecedented disruption.
What if you were able to provide to your organization:
- The mindset to turn any disaster into a disruption that makes your organization stronger
- The foundation to turn your team into an elite disaster force
- A resiliency that will challenge your organization to recover after any disaster
What difference would that make during this challenging time?
Patrick Hardy, being one of the most accomplished family and business emergency managers in the world, will show you how to deliver true resiliency from the moment disaster strikes to how to recover after the disaster.
His training style is considered groundbreaking throughout the world. Instead of a doom-and-gloom rigidity, Patrick's presentations are dramatic, energetic, positive and leave audiences feeling supremely confident in their abilities to respond to any emergency. It is partly because of this approach that he received the Training Excellence Award in 2009 from the US Department of Homeland Security.
Patrick is the CEO of the largest full-service disaster management company in the world. He is a pioneering emergency manager who single-handedly invented emergency plans for industries without a previous best practice plan. His cutting-edge innovation led to the first COVID-19 plan for small businesses, which was faster than the combined efforts of hundreds of governments.
He is sought out as a speaker by organizations looking for a brand-new perspective on disaster preparedness and a fresh approach to revitalize their emergency programs and give renewed focus on tired and emotionally overwhelmed workforces and organizations. This approach led to him being the youngest person and first business owner ever selected as the US National Private Sector Representative to FEMA, spending 3 months in Washington D.C., developing the first small business framework.
His strength and confidence inspire audiences around the world to challenge their existing conceptions of disaster response. He challenges them to lead. He challenges them to focus. He challenges them to succeed when others see an impossible challenge.
Patrick has appeared on "Good Morning America", "PA Live!" and "Good Morning Washington," as well as local NBC and CBS affiliates throughout the country. He has written articles or been cited in publications such as "Forbes," "USA Today," "Yahoo!" and "CNN Online."
Patrick will dramatically revolutionize your thinking so you remember:
Turn the disruption into a success!
