Leadership in EMS isn’t about titles. It’s about grit, curiosity, and a drive to make an impact. At this year’s CALIFORNIA AMBULANCE ASSOCIATION’s Stars of Life celebration, EMS leaders shared their journeys, how they embraced challenges, took ownership of their growth, and pushed their teams forward. Steve Grau, ???? Danielle Thomas, NRP, Carly Strong, and Sean Sullivan all took different paths into EMS, but they share the same belief. Great leaders don’t wait for permission. They take risks, test ideas, and push through obstacles to create real change. Their insights remind us that leadership isn’t about waiting for the perfect opportunity. It’s about showing up, asking the right questions, and driving progress every day. Read the full story here: https://lnkd.in/gMymtsb9

What Burning Man Taught Us About Leadership and Collaboration At Royal Ambulance, we’re no strangers to challenging environments—but this summer, we took it to a whole new level. Our team built and operated Rampart, a full EMS system on the Playa at Burning Man. And the experience? It taught us invaluable lessons about leadership, teamwork, and adaptability. Our CEO, Steve Grau, shares insights from the journey—how we pushed beyond our limits, tackled the unknown, and grew stronger as a team. What’s the key takeaway? “Trust your people, adapt quickly, and never underestimate the power of collaboration,” says Steve. Whether you’re in healthcare or another industry, the same lessons apply: focus on your people, trust your team, and be ready to face the unknown together! #Leadership #Teamwork #Collaboration #Adaptability #BurningMan #RoyalAmbulance

We’ve been quietly working on something big… and now it’s time to share it ?? At Burning Man 2024, Royal Ambulance had the unique opportunity to provide medical support in a way we’ve never done before—building and operating a temporary free-standing licensed emergency medical facility in the middle of the desert! The Playa is no easy place. From the harsh environment to the 24/7 non-stop nature of the city, this experience taught us so much about resilience, adaptability, and the power of collaboration. ?? We’re incredibly thankful to the Burning Man Project and Burning Man ESD for welcoming us into this amazing community. The lessons we learned, and the bonds we formed, will stay with us for years to come. ?? A huge shoutout to our dedicated team, who worked tirelessly through every challenge with heart and professionalism. Your commitment made this possible, and we couldn’t be prouder. This experience not only pushed our team to new heights but also reinforced the importance of compassion, innovation, and teamwork in delivering high-quality care—no matter the circumstances.
