FIRST RESPONDER WELLNESS SOLUTIONS

Keynote Speaking

Inspiring Leaders. Strengthening Culture.

Transforming Public Safety.

The best keynote presentations do more than motivate an audience for an hour—they inspire conversations that continue long after the event ends.

Conrad Weaver delivers compelling, story-driven keynote presentations that challenge first responders and public safety leaders to rethink leadership, wellness, resilience, and the culture they’re creating inside their organizations.

Drawing from his work producing the award-winning PTSD911 documentary, hosting the First Responder Wellness Podcast, interviewing hundreds of public safety professionals, and working alongside agencies across the country, Conrad brings a unique perspective that combines powerful storytelling with practical leadership principles audiences can immediately apply.

Whether speaking to law enforcement, fire, EMS, dispatch, corrections, or public safety executives, every presentation is designed to leave attendees informed, inspired, and equipped to make a lasting difference in their organizations.

Speaking Topics

Wellness Begins With Leadership™

The greatest influence on an organization’s wellness isn’t a program—it’s its leadership.

This keynote explores how leadership shapes culture, trust, morale, resilience, and long-term wellness. Through powerful stories and practical leadership principles, attendees discover how everyday leadership decisions either strengthen or weaken the people they serve.

Ideal for: Chiefs, command staff, supervisors, executive leadership, leadership conferences

PTSD911: Changing the Conversation About Wellness

Based on the award-winning documentary, this keynote shares the stories behind the film and the lessons learned from first responders who courageously shared their struggles.

More than a discussion about PTSD, this presentation explores stigma, organizational culture, peer support, family impact, and the responsibility every leader has to create an environment where asking for help is viewed as strength—not weakness.

Ideal for: Conferences, academies, wellness events, agency training, peer support programs

Building a Culture People Don’t Want to Leave

Retention isn’t simply about pay or benefits.

People stay where they feel valued, trusted, supported, and led well. This presentation explores how leaders create environments where employees thrive, communication improves, accountability grows, and wellness becomes part of everyday operations.

Ideal for: Executive leadership, command staff, supervisors, HR professionals
