Most of us do not make life and death decisions every day. However, we do make decisions that impact our well-being and the well-being of others. This presentation introduces the concept of flow-based decision making using the fire service as a model for training in active consciousness and situational awareness. Dr. Glick-Smith’s post-doctoral research has focused on an extreme experiential training program in the fire service called Georgia Smoke Divers. This presentation will highlight the technologies and methodologies this organization uses to promote active consciousness and situational awareness. The resulting stories from the members of this organization speak to the sense of well-being that accompanies flow-based decision making.
